I just came across this Tweet from Senator #Bernie Sanders: “Instead of frightening 11 million undocumented people with deportation we need comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship.” If this was not your words, I owe you a huge www.howiemaui.com apology. If they were I have to say to say BULLSHIT! With the average cost of health care of $10 thousand dollars per American in this country, isn’t that about $110b billion dollars that perhaps us Legal Americans have to pay for? Mind you, it might be only a fraction of the $3T trillion dollars that we all pay for health care, but every dollar that we save can make a big difference for the rest of us.
Maybe out of the 11 million undocumented people Bernie is referring to, probably 3 millions of these people have paying jobs, that many of us unemployed American would like to have. Lets also say that 3 million of these undocumented people attended a US grammar school, at an average of $5 thousand year, is that another 15b billion dollars of out tax payers budget. I know that many of these undocumented people paid taxes, but why should they get a free lunch at the American people expense?
I doubt the homelands of these undocumented people will not accept the majority of our undocumented people as President #Trump has suggested, but I feel that there should be a steep financial penalty! A fine($10,000-$100,000.00), no right of ownership of property, or just plain going to jail.
Bernie, stop blaming the rich who pays the majority of our taxes, and supply jobs for Americans, and your undocumented people. You are set financially and don’t have to cry over a $3.00 a month raise social security. I do, as well as so many of millions of seniors who incidentally put you in office.
America, is some what like a game of “Monopoly”, the Trump version has many of his Trump hotels on board, but the one thing that this game does not have is that “undocumented” people as you refer to are not allowed to play this game, and if they ever want to they will have to apply for citizenship as many now Americans had to do.
