      Don’t forget he’s a communist.

      No I’m not. Communism is largely a failure of an economic system, just as capitalism is. I’m not a capitalist or a communist, both systems are broken.

      Was can’t continue to absorb the cost is the illegal aliens. It’s breaking budgets.

      Immigrants actually, generally, are beneficial for economies. When they come here, they generally do so for the work, they pay taxes, and they make businesses. Anecdotally, I know if my Costa Rican extended family was able to immigrate, they would reopen their mom and pop store here.

          You are a communist

          I outright said that communism is a failure.

          I clearly said illegal immigration.

          I thought we were in agreement that the immigration process needs reformed to make it easier for people to legally immigrate? I was operating under that assumption.

              and capitalism is a great success

              No it isn’t. Both systems are failures.

              Sweden is another great example of capitalism working.

              So you would be ok with a Swedish version of capitalism? Including a generous welfare state?

                  No, capitalism is a success. Our poorest people live better than most people in the world.

                  You can’t just look at the parts that are good and ignore the bad parts and claim its a success.

                  We would be bankrupt in a few years and civil war would happen.
