Author Ben Shapiro argues in a Sunday Breitbart article that Obama refuses to deport most illegals and urges passage of a mass amnesty/immigration increase bill in order to expand the number of people dependent on the federal government. Most immigrants from Latin America, legal and illegal, have less than a high school education and lower incomes than Americans.
Shapiro writes: “Adding millions of illegal immigrants to the public rolls — which will happen in terms of lower education and healthcare by necessity — will skyrocket spending.”
“And so the Democrats will move to bankrupt the system. No welfare state can survive with open borders.That is a truism. And yet that’s exactly what Democrats are now promoting: open borders with a full welfare state. Why? Not because Democrats believe that the homegrown poor in America will be better off with more people joining them on the dole; they won’t. Rather, Democrats love the size and scope of the state…”
