If we want to get into the weeds here, obviously the far greater number of a given set of people are likely to do things in far greater numbers than a far lesser number of another set of people. DUH. And is the percentage of illegals doing that same thing the same as the percentage of Americans doing it? And should we "drain more resources" just so we can accommodate illegals because they do less of the same thing. How about getting rid of as much of that illegal thing as we can rather than saying that it's OK to let illegals stay because they do less of the thing we want to get rid of . . . although at a higher rate population wise?
I just don't get what your statement has to do with deporting illegals.
2 wars are what is draining this country of resources
We have lots of resources, including oil, and lots of money not being used (remember quantitative easing?).
Not to fustercluck your mind about what the Federal Government is constitutionally allowed to spend money on, but war, national security, is one of its prime duties. It spends more on a lot of stuff that the Constitution does not give it permission to do. If it refrained from unconstitutional spending, our "resources" would not be drained.
but again facts dont matter Border Patrol apprehensions, which the government sees as a barometer of illegal border-crossing attempts, have been dropping for the past decade and a half. The Border Patrol apprehended 337,117 people nationwide in fiscal year 2015. That's down nearly 30 percent from the previous year and nearly 80 percent below the peak in 2000. wasn't that George W. Bush time in office???
No. George Bush did not officially become President until 2001. 2000 was Clinton's final year.
Deportations increased under President Obama,
Not really. Just depends on how you define deportation: http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-...402-story.html
you want to stop immigration Invest in central America if they have astable Government and economy the will stay |
Would that be a way of draining lots of resources? Haven't we drained resources that way in lots of third world countries only to see those resources pocketed by the corrupt leaders of those countries? I suppose we could send more of our factories and jobs to central America. That would bypass the corrupt leaders, slow down immigration, and really be a boost to American citizens by creating a stable economy there instead of here. Good point.
