  1. The homeless population has nothing at all to do with undocumented people. Not one thing. We’re a wealthy country, by the way, and whether or not we “take care of our own citizens” depends on Congress passing laws (from Democrats) such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment pay, the ACA (Obamacare), voting rights, etc.

  2. Who will work in the meat packing plants? Dairies, farms..not Americans.

  3. My cousin, 70 when she was diagnosed with cancer, had to fight for months to get her Advantage plan to pay for treatment. Meanwhile, her cancer progressed.

  4.  @southsiren  True. I grew up in the West. All the history we learned was about settling the West. I built a fort from Lincoln Logs. Didn’t learn anything else until senior year Civics.

  5.  @ms.lovelace5049  They come here to work. They don’t receive benefits from the U.S. unless they become citizens.

  6. Most of my elderly friends love their Advantage plans, because they get freebies, and premiums are lower. But, we carefully compared private plans and original Medicare, and like the original for the freedom it gives us to choose our own doctors, to see specialists and have tests done without pre-authorization, and the fact that there are no networks and Medicare pays either 80% or all of the cost of care. We chose to buy so-called Medigap to cover the other 20%, but are considering canceling it because we don’t really need it. My brother, who owns an insurance agency, chose original Medicare too.

  7.  @johnnysanchez8219  We don’t like “others.” The Irish immigrants were disparaged, the Italians, too. Germans, Japanese-Americans,born here, were stuck in internment camps during WWII.

  10.  @Yusuf-yr1fq  Who cleans him up? Rapist ,felon, and insurrectionist, that’s who people voted for. He’s a disgrace.

  11.  @ms.lovelace5049  A non-partisan “border” bill, prepared with a great deal of thought, was jettisoned by Mike Johnson when Trump told him not to bring it to the floor for a vote. Why? Because Trump wanted to run on the border. Biden did a better job of deporting than Trump did, by the way.

  12. Yes, but they’re usually white, and come by plane. Racists don’t care, if they even know.

  13. People here on student or work visas from Europe, Asia and other countries frequently stay here once their visas expire. They live, work, marry and no one cares, especially Trump.

  14. @ Actually, I have a good understanding of it. That’s not what Trump has against it, but hey, I don’t have a dog in that fight. Hope none of your family does. Think his goons will be checking to see who is a citizen, who is not? They’ll be making instant decisions based on looks. Meanwhile, all of those European-looking people who come to attend college or work in white collar jobs just overstay their visas, undisturbed.
