Why do we want to import more poverty in the US when we have enough already?

[Hugo Drax]

Did we run out of poor people who struggle to survive? Why do we want to open the floodgates and bring in millions more who will not be able to find stable good paying jobs with benefits?

What exactly is the gameplan? I have not heard anyone explain why we want to increase our population in this country when our economy cannot support a big influx of people.

You have college grads flipping burgers and making coffee because they cannot find good jobs, you have homeless camps in several of our large cities already.

Maybe start with fixing the problems affecting American citizens first before importing the rest of the world problem?

Poverty is not Genetic.

If there are college grads working at McDonalds, theyve got to be lazy. We are in a huge labor shortage right now. I know in my industry, I could have my pick of almost anywhere in the country for a well paying job.

Bringing them will only make things worse for people in the US. They will undercut wages and cause even more problems for people struggling with work. People are idiots and want to bring them in since they want to be generous with other peoples money.

OP, get a tighter grip on your horses.

A: Because poor people coming from outside of the US are hungry AF. Hungry AF people bust their asses off. People that bust their asses off pay taxes. 40 years and 4 generations later, you have a shitload of immigrant families with high paying jobs paying taxes while slacker ass Americans get welfare checks and complain about immigrants taking their jobs on /r/politics

So many falsehoods and so much bullshit in one post, OP, how do you do it?

Socialize healthcare, increase tax rates on the wealthy and large corps, revamp zoning codes to allow for the construction of adequate housing.

There I fixed it. We can take immigrants again.

Name a single period in our history where immigration hurt this country.

The wealthy pay enough taxes and dont need to pay more because people dont want to work.

The wealthy pay enough taxes? Based on what exactly? Historically speaking? Nope. Based on their share of ownership? Nope. So exactly what is the basis for your claim? Gut feelings?

The wealthy have never paid less than they are now, and they got along just fine before that.

It's not your money, you want to steal it to give it to others who dont work for votes and make dependent on government.

Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that the war on drugs creates a massive, lucrative black market for drug cartels in Central and South America. This leads to massive political corruption, violence, and poverty in those nations. We could try this one weird trick and end the war on drugs. That would probably make life better for literally everyone except for prison guard unions.

I think you need to widen your view on this. Germany disagrees strongly on your stance.

Thanks! I missed a few. We could add police unions, judges, and social workers. None of this would even be an issue if we just did the right thing. Too many people are invested in ensuring this will never happen.

Last time I checked, we weren't part of Germany or ruled by them or shared the same geographic location.

At least marijuana will probably be recreationally legal in all but maybe a dozen backasswards red states inside 10 years.

Possibly the sole upside of letting pharma companies hook a ton of white people on pills who then turn to heroin is some realignment in America's mentality on drugs and the options for dealing with addiction.

"why import poverty"

Well I am a red white and blue American. And as a flag waving patriot it's my duty to point out to agitators and traitors alike that to be an American means to embrace immigrants. "Give us your poor, your weak, your possessed by demons" etc. It's who we are. To do otherwise would literally be un-American.

Besides that...

It continues to be my experience that FOB immigrants work much harder for a lot less money than chain immigrants. They also don't whine nearly as much. Chain immigrants, also known as Americans, are spoiled brats when it comes to working. Over 70% of Americans are fat-asses who won't survive 10 minutes humping bales of whatever in the 100 degree heat. We're lazy as shit too, wanting breaks and 40 hour weeks, etc. Plus we're all either elites who pay someone to hold our penis while we pee or we are trailer trash on welfare and meth who would rather drag blacks behind our trucks and blame immigrants for our own fat lazy crack addicted lives.

Donald Trump agrees with me by the way...

Either way, as an American, I sure as hell am not busting my ass out in a field all day picking food or whatever disgusting crap they have to put up with. I am BEGGING somebody, anybody, willing to do that job to PLEASE COME TO AMERICA. Go clean my toilet. I'll stick to my cushy office job thank you. I would MUCH rather have folks who desire to escape whatever shit-hole country as your god says get a chance to pay their dues and become an American just like the rest of us or our ancestors did.

And then there's the money. If I can make a buck no matter how, that's what makes America great. Getting around the system just means I'm smart.
