Aren't we all mostly immigrants when we look back far enough. Why are some of us "illegal". What does that mean?
That's not about historical migration i think. It refers to crossing borders or staying in a country without following its immigration laws.
reply
That makes sense. I just feel borders are silly. In my experience, illegal Mexicans are often the hardest workers.

Should immigrants be excluded from welfare handouts such as Medicaid?
reply
Once undocumented immigrants set foot on the land, it's not good idea to deny them proper Medicaid and let them suffer or die without basic care. First and foremost, there needs to be a system to identify undocumented immigrants and establish a new law for them. They should either be expelled or granted legal to stay, ensuring fairness for all.

They can get health care without government insurance
They don't need Medicaid to get 'basic care'

Insurance is a scam in my opinion. We should take. Are of all of our fellow humans no questions asked.

Insurance is a scam is a different topic
"We should take care of all our fellow humans no questions asked."
This statement is untenable for many reasons.
- no one has infinite amount of money
- we shouldn't force anyone to be charitable
- not every human deserves compassion or assistance
- there are other reasons I can't remember right now

This comment is fiscally irresponsible and willfully ignorant
Taxpayers should ask how their money is being spent and on whom

I can see your perspective on my comment. I am a dreamer so I am here to dream. I am not interested in words like fiscally. I can see a future where instead of taxes and insurance we have self sustaining communities that cooperate to help each other instead of competing and draining each other. A world where we decide how to govern ourselves, instead of bowing down to mysterious overlords. I think Bitcoin can help us get there. Am I foolish and ignorant? Most definitely. Am I wrong? I don't know what that means. But it's not my role to play the game that was set out for me. I don't like that game. I am here to shake it up. So I will continue to Invision a new kind of future. Only time will tell where we are headed.
Suraz,
Basic Care and Medicaid are two different things. It's wrong to conflate the two.
It's not fair to give undocumented aliens legal residence! We are rewarding people for breaking laws. We should do the opposite.
Fairness for all? Giving legal residency to undocumented is unfair to legal immigrants who have spent time and money waiting for their proper visas and green cards
A shortcut for people who cut in line is not fair
They have to wait in line like everyone else. You are demanding preferential treatment not fairness.
