How do you get these tax money in the US?
Just medical care or some shit? I can understand, and still dont support such people in EU, where they get a lot of money.
But wtf do you get in the USA?
Can you elaborate? Because I don't think it's true and I can't Google anything that would confirm your argument. (So I think you might've dreamed up that)
In the EU, as an immigrant you are able to get social security, medical care and other assistances if you are an inhabitant. When you are an asylum seeker you get a special amount of money for your apartment and pocket money.
Some people in european countries hate that, and feel like these people dont deserve that.
But I dont see any of this stuff beeing given to US folks, so why do they want immigrants out?
Asylum seeker =/= immigrant.
And yes, the massive fuckup with all those West European countries letting in asylum seekers is very unpopular with the population (see backpedaling in Denmark).
As is fucking proper. Do you want people too sick to work on the streets?
I'm not an USian so for the last part of your comment, I also have no idea about the sentiments.
I know, that asylum seekers are not immigrants. My point was, that as an immigrant you can get the same social security as everybody else, which the least thing in my opinion. The weird part, is everybody wants human rights, but if others get it its a problem...
