Comments by "whyamimrpink78" (@whyamimrpink78) on "Trump Demands Wall To Reopen Government In Oval Office Address" video.

The fact that so many people are being harmed here is an argument that the federal government has too much power.

What policy of his is racist?

Kyle has nothing but lies and deceptions in this video. This is why Trump is winning on this issue. The talking points by the left presenting by Kyle are simply lies.

@MrShigura , easy. Undocumented immigrants do receive benefits in the US. One is K-12 education. A lot of local governments offer protection to these illegal immigrants which ends up costing tax dollars, more than what they end up paying putting us in a deficit. Another is when Kyle talks about around 70% of people who live paycheck to paycheck. That is deceptive as most of that is because of poor money management. He talks about infrastructure when that is a state and local issue, not a federal one. So there is no reason to call that a "state of emergency" as that is not the federal government's issue. He talks about how half of workers earn $30,000 or less which is a very deceptive stat as it does not consider household income nor cost of living. He talks about how immigrants commit less crime than natural born citizens. There are two major problems there. One, you can't lump all immigrants with illegal immigrants. We are talking about illegal immigrants. Next, we control the people in our nation and those we allow into it. Compare it to a home. I control who lives in my home. If I allow someone in my home and the cause a mess that is my fault. If someone illegally enters my home it does not matter if they cause a mess or not, I did not want them in there. Even if they make the place better that does not change the fact that they entered my home illegally. If they did cause a mess I did not want them in there to begin with which makes the situation worse. I can go on but the reality is that Kyle is a hack with no principles. Going back to the issue of infrastructure being a state and local issue. Kyle is all about principles when it comes to ending wars he considers to be "illegal" and wants to follow the law. But now he doesn't when it is a situation to suit his ideas? He is a hack. Here is a good video on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkcaHqZuVxs&t=240s

@MrShigura , also, people call me a troll as they can't counter what I say. I have no problem making a statement as I can defend it.

@franklance9167 1. He shows a source saying that undocumented immigrants pay $12 billion a year but does not provide any numbers related to how much they take. Some sources say they take around $50 billion a year. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/trump-clinton-immigration-economy-unemployment-jobs-214216 There is also the cost of added work and less jobs for people. For example, in K-12 education that is more work for teachers who arguably have too large of classrooms. Or with jobs as Ann Coulter put it undocumented immigrants hindered people from getting jobs. Even with Kyle saying they do not benefit in some way, he made it sound like they pay more than they take which is arguably not true. 2. Around 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt, there is a correlation. People do live beyond their means. It is natural in many ways. Now does that mean all 70% are bad with their money? No. But you can't deny the fact that many are. The fact that you fall right in line with Kyle in feeling that is a sign of times being bad shows a double standard on your part. You have to be honest that a lot are in that situation because of poor money management. 3. Most infrastructure spending is state and local. Here is a small example https://www.cbo.gov/publication/54539 It is no different than education where most funding for education, as in around 82% of it, is state and local. There is nothing in the Constitution that grants the federal government authority to invest in infrastructure beyond roads for post offices, commerce between states, and defense. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/52463 So while the federal government does invest in some of it, it is small compared to state and local. Kyle is showing his lack of understanding of government and economics on this one. 4. He said it at the 5:20 mark. He is being deceptive here. There are several factors. One, benefits, how much do they earn after benefits? Two, cost of living. What is their cost of living? Three, household income? What is their household income? I earn $23,000 a year, I am fine. I also have no kids, live in an affordable apartment, get my healthcare insurance paid for, is able to walk to work and I have limited problems. Kyle has a bad history of just throwing numbers out there with zero context. 5. I never said a natural born citizen=immigrant. Point to me where I said that? Also, my point is this 1. You can't lump legal immigrants with illegal immigrants and say they are the same thing. It is a trick the left does on issues to inflate stats. Just like how they say there are a lot of school shootings but lumps someone committing suicide at at school after hours with a crazed gun man. You can't say the two cases are the same. Just like you can't say illegal immigrants are the same a legal. Legal immigrants went through a process and we are allowing them in here. A part of that is knowing their criminal record. So chances are they will not commit a crime where a natural born citizen is here regardless. Next, an illegal immigrant is not allowed in here. We did not allow them in here, they are essentially trespassing. Even if they commit a crime or not is not the point, they are not allow in here. As for my home, I allow people in my home. I never suggested closing borders. I am saying there is a method in allowing people in our nation just like we do with our home. We don't just allow anyone in our home just like we shouldn't just allow people in our country. With your hotel analogy you have limited rooms, and if you want a high class hotel you want certain people there that can actually produce and pay as opposed to take. If people broke into your hotel and just started squatting there, will you allow that? That can lead to less customers. So your analogy is weak. I have proven he is a hack. Giving numbers out of context. Being selective in what laws to support. Being selective in standards in how policies are passed, he is a hack. Watch that video. Compare Kyle's standards to the wars and then to the bump stock ban. The Constitution is very clear. Another example where Kyle is a hack is that he may say take it to court. But in the case of Citizen's United, he claims the courts and government is corrupt (despite the legit arguments for it being Constitutional via the 1st amendment). But in other cases he praises the courts as being just. To him when something does not go his way he cries corruption despite the strong arguments. Kyle is a hack. He has no principles and continues to present data in a very deceptive way. The fact he has a following is disturbing.

The situation at the border is a major issue. We have a large group of undocumented immigrants that take advantage of our nation and taxes and this needs to be resolved.

@TungstenChloride , I did watch the video. Kyle did not address how much tax dollars undocumented immigrants cost. They cost more than they pay.

@TungstenChloride , how so? Please read their study and tell me what is wrong. So far you are only doing a logical fallacy.

@TungstenChloride , you can also read Coulter's book "Adios America".

@TungstenChloride , I also find it ironic how you strongly believe Kyle when he leaves out the point on how much tax dollars illegal immigrants take. He does not mention how much, he just shows how much they pay in taxes. Undocumented immigrants clearly take tax dollars, for example they receive K-12 education. But Kyle leaves them out. You criticize me for not doing research but praise Kyle. Why do you have double standards? For the record, I don't fully trust FAIR as well, I find them bias. But some of their information is legit. Just like Kyle saying undocumented immigrants pay $12 billion in taxes a year, that is true. But he also leaves out a lot of information. Same with FAIR. Doing more research I see that undocumented immigrants take more than they give. Also, the whole point is that they are not supposed to be here. I would advise you to please research what you believe before you spout them out as fact.

@TungstenChloride , so you will just pull a logical fallacy?
1
@TungstenChloride , also, you criticize FAIR, where I said I am skeptical of them as well, but you strongly support Kyle? Double standard much?

@TungstenChloride , I also pointed another source from a professor from the Harvard Kennedy School. Your original comment was " Did you literally not watch the video. What you claimed in your comment was literally addressed and debunked in the video." So now you are back tracking what you are saying. You are making this way too easy for me.

@TungstenChloride , when you said that Kyle addressed the issue I question.

@TungstenChloride , he is a professor. You can email him and ask.
