“So just because we can afford certain programs, we should offer them to illegals? I’m not buying that.”
I never made that argument. My point is that Mexico can’t afford food stamps, etc. Again, immigration is not about public services or programs, it’s about the wage differential between the two countries. The fact that you refer to human beings as “illegals” says a lot about you, such as your belief that immigrants come to this country for free public services. (I’m perfectly aware that I won’t be able to change your belief, as it is an article of faith.)
“How would you know that if you don’t listen to him yourself?”
There’s no need to listen to him. I just read your posting. What other conclusion can be derived from Limbaugh’s diatribe? His harangue can be summarized as “we don’t have to welcome them because they don’t welcome others”.
