The US
has a population of 320 million. There are 204
million working age (16-64). 59.7% of these 204 million have jobs. 122 million
have jobs. By subtraction, 82 million do not have jobs, but I’ve seen this
number quoted from 94 million to 104 million. Finally, we killed 58.5 million
babies in the US since 1973.
We have
added 60 million immigrants in the last 40 years. US immigration doubled in
1989 and kept redoubling.
In 1993,
we passed NAFTA to off-shore most of our manufacturing jobs. US household income dropped by $5000 per
year.
We’ve
added and average of 1.8 million jobs in the US each year. We graduate 1.8 million students each
year. We import 1.8 million immigrants
per year.
We have
52 million on some form of welfare.
$19 trillion has been spent on anti-poverty programs since the mid-1960s
and that “we have 10 times more people on welfare.” More generally, he also
said that there are more people living in poverty. - Ben Carson
51 percent of immigrant-headed households (legal
and illegal) use at least one federal welfare program, compared to 30 percent
of native households.1
"Welfare"
refers to means-tested anti-poverty programs. These include direct cash
assistance in the form of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); food aid such as free school lunch, the
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program, and food stamps;
Medicaid; and housing assistance in the form of rent subsidies and public
housing. Not included are social insurance programs for which participants must
generally pay into the system before drawing benefits, such as Social Security
and Medicare.
In order to cut our welfare costs, we need to
greatly increase jobs and US productivity, secure the border, return all
refugees to their home countries, deport criminal illegals and place productive
illegals at the back of the line for legal status.
Cutting welfare benefits for refugees and
immigrants will send a signal that they can’t stay here for free. Banning Sharia law will send a message to
Muslims that they should get ready to assimilate or move back to a Muslim
country.
