We can't care for the poor people we already have.
*snerk* Sure they do. And they only accept payment in cash.

"Look, that guy is drowning. Quick, pour some water on him."
Depends on your values.Nothing is free. Nothing good is ever free.
The song of a bird, the smell of the rain, the color of the sky....there are a lot of things that are free.NOTHING is free facts of life.
Nothing is free. Nothing good is ever free. However, i believe the poor should have free healthcare. But if one wants good HC, they better pay for it. Facts of life.
Many problems are made unnecessarily complex by people who like that sort of thing (and are in a position to do so).
The point of my comment was not to suggest that we have a perfect solution...far from it. Many here criticise the various strategies employed by our governments...
No, my point was to illustrate the strategies that the asylum seekers adopt....we have no land border to walk across, so they have come by sea.
Again, while Donald’s Wall will fail, what is to stop asylum seekers from your south adopting a similar strategy...?
They also pay sales taxes, fuel taxes, rent, etc.
There is the argument that this foreign aid is better than just having the Government send checks to other governments.
AGREED! 100%
But as most of us learned in kindergarten: two wrongs don't make a right.
That we won't care for the poor is not the same as can't.
Actually the US pays almost 2X as much per capita for healthcare than most of the European developed democracies and yet we don't have as good a healthcare outcomes.
Trump will give. The dems have nothing to lose by standing their ground.
Europeans generally are more health conscious. They also have higher taxes and some have pretty good trade surpluses...with us, so they have more money for social programs. So, apples/oranges.
We do try to care for our poor, but they are always a moving target.
The Dems have no proposals to cite.
I'm not so sure of that. Why don't they give Trump his measly $5 billion. When the wall fails they can say I told you so.
