Bloomberg on immigration

From the Daily News, quoting Bloomberg:

"This country is committing national suicide. We just passed a health care bill to give coverage to millions of people, tens of millions of people and we don’t have doctors and we’re not allowing people who want to come here and be doctors to come here. This is just craziness. People are developing new drugs in India, rather than here. They’re going to win the next Nobel prize in China or in Europe, not here. If we want to have a future, we need to have more immigrants here and we should get control of our borders and we should decide who we want, what languages, what skills we need; people who work with their hands and people who work with their minds and we have to get real about the 12 million undocumented here. We’re not going to deport them. Give them permanent status. Don’t make them citizens unless they can qualify, but give them permanent status and let’s get on with this.”

This guy is delusional. Who does he think is going to pay for all these people? We can't afford to live here now. What about our laws? Are they ever going to be enforced? I'm not against LEGAL IMMIGRATION. That kind gives us the option of admitting scientists, doctors, teachers. I'm upset because he encourages ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. The kind where people aren't screened, bring disease to our country, steal American jobs, milk our system for free benefits. This guy just doesn't get it. He's a billionaire. When he ruins this city, he'll just move overseas where all his money is stashed. No one cares how he feels about immigration. He's done enough to New Yorkers by making it a Sanctuary City. If he loves the illegals so much, why doesn't he establish a fund to pay for them out of his billions?

Everytime I hear this guy speak, I become nauseous. He is absolutely delusional!Absolutely!!! I am for legal immigration, not the illegal kind...If you offer amnesty to illegals, I honestly feel it is a slap in the face to those that have waited and went through all legal procedures/processes in order to become American citizens. It is a personal insult to me because both my parents became Americans the legal way!!! What a nimcompoop!

As a hispanic who is now a citizen, is it fair that I have to carry a passport or SS card because my driver's license isn't enough?

Is it fair that white people who speak fluent english won't have to be arrested until someone gets a copy of their birth certificate.

Why should I trust the honest and honorable NYPD to determine whether I need to be further ID'd to prove I am a citizen?

Doesn't this law discriminate against Hispanic citizens who speak with an accent? How can this law be enforced without placing an unfait burden on Hispanics?

This country is committing national suicide.

Indeed. I guess that makes Bloomberg the equivalent of Dr. Jack Kevorkian?

we don’t have doctors and we’re not allowing people who want to come here and be doctors to come here. This is just craziness.

Yes, all those doctors from Mexico that risk their lives to cross the border! All those pediatricians, brain surgeons, and heart specialists that hang out along Roosevelt Avenue!

Indeed. It IS just craziness!

People are developing new drugs in India, rather than here. They’re going to win the next Nobel prize in China or in Europe, not here.

Hmmm....read between the lines here. Why didn't Bloomturd mention all those drugs that they're developing in Mexico and South America?

Oh, I think he means legal, prescription drugs, NOT those other kinds.

If we want to have a future, we need to have more immigrants here and we should get control of our borders

Which one is it buddy? More immigrants, or control over our borders?

If more immigrants means "a future", why not simply let the whole world move to America? Wouldn't that be even better?

we should decide who we want, what languages, what skills we need

No quarrel with this part, but I don't think he really means it. We need a system like Canada - take in only the smart people.

I guess all the drug cartel illegals, the ones who shot the rancher and the ones who have all the jobs in upper east side restaurants are really doctors.

And who cares about the Nobel Peace Prize anymore when it's given to anybody, not someone who actually did anything?

You are so right. I mean, how are we going to target the Swiss drug smugglers? The Swedish sex trade kidnappers? The French gangs? Or the pesky Canadian gun runners?

After all, they are the ones doing all of this, and *not* the Hispanics, right???

this r.i.n.o.,liberal democrat mayor needs to follow the lead of the state of Arizona. no illegals in n.y.c.. the sanctuary has got to stop.

an investigation of Queens elementary schools will reveal how many pupils are from illegal parents.
all I.C.E. has to do is scan the school yellow bus routes and stops.
the largest violators are asian,s.e.asian and then hispanic.

your taxes pay $20,000/year/per pupil. vs.private school cost of $4500./pupil. the year cost for n.y.c. D.O.E. is $21 BILLION. citizens can no longer sustain this tax cost.
illegal aliens have to be deported with their expensive pupils.

It's not true that they are developing drugs in India or China. The drugs are being DEVELOPED here in the USA after years of research. India and China are PRODUCING these drugs, illegally and cheaper.

there are about 12 nobel prize winners crammed into a basement apartment across the street from me...when you try to talk to them they run away

i'm sure it's legit though

i think they're trying to cure cancer because they all smoke like chimneys...must be part of the research

Once again, proving that illegal aliens.....ohh....excuse me.....undocumented guest workers are doing the jobs that Americans no longer are willing to do!

Anonymous said...

so my question is this -

if most of "undocumented' workers are from Mexico, what, we should ask a Hungarian old woman if she's illegal?

If a robbery or murder was committed and the victim said it was an Hispanic or a black, should the cops go profile an Irishman wiht red hair?

What don't people get about the fact that they've committed a crime by being here and then they bleed us dry and they do take jobs Americans would do.

construction
waiter/waitress
roofing
busboy
hotel work
on and on

how come in France they are now rioting against legal immigrants because they want jobs for themselves and in Russia they take illegals out to the wood and kill them by the truckloads? How come we are just giving away our country?

the reason is so the Dems can have control forever, because the illegals when they are granted amnesty will vote Democrat, just like the blacks do, even though Dems keep them poor, Dems didn't want to vote for Civil Rights Act.

It's all politics - and the weeping vaginas are just that - weeping phonies - if someone right in front of them were in trouble, they wouldn't do a thing. It's real easy to care for the abstract "downtrodden." And I'm sick of bishops and politicians comparing this to Nazi Germany. Jew were legal, they paid taxes, they were doctors for real. Illegals are illegals and they aren't being gassed.

And why do Americans now have to prove they have health insurance papers but illegals don't have to prove they have a green card?

Why don't they just reinstate vagrancy laws? When I was growing up if you were an adult and didn't have an ID you were locked up for the night for being a vagrant?

Americans have to fill out extra paperwork at jobs to prove they are citizens, why do illegals think they should have special treatment?

1. Doctors will be leaving the country or just quitting and getting a job in the private sector where their ability and effort will determine how much they get paid rather than one of the Obamacare czars in Washington.

2. We lost St John's, Mary Immaculate, and St Vincents because they were required to treat illegal immigrants and other poor patients and unable to get reimbursed by the government. If these hospitals had a higher percentage of paying patients they would have been able to remain open.

How many pupils are from illegal parents.

Over Half !!
70 percent in Jackson Heights. Half of which have single parents who don't want them.
With these Beaners and Central Americans if the father is considered no good the child is no good.
No future for them, We are going to have a lot of gangs when these kids packing the schools become teenage monsters

Do you have any idea what -private- (not Catlick) school tuition is?

Try $33100 for K @ Dalton. Some are slightly cheaper, but not much.

You seem to have cost to the school mixed up with cost to the consumer.

It's just his way of paying more people BELOW MIN WAGE. I too am for LEGAL IMMIGRATION, but they closed their eyes for years took advantage of these people and set the working class back for their own greedy agendas,say immigrants take jobs Americans don't want. Then it got totally out of control and now they don't know what to do. It's all a bunch of smoke & crap and if the people in this country don't wake up soon we'll soon need permission to blog.

There is no national health care system in Mexico nor in many South American and Central American countries.

if you live in Queens ,check the cost of elementary school for one year. St.Kevins in Bayside /Auburndale is now $4500. to $5000.per child per year.

see:nyc.gov
Education Dept.
find ,P.S in your area,and see the cost per year for "educating" one pupil.
note :special education pupils cost $40,000 to $65,000 per pupil,per year.
Harvard is only $35,000 per year.

get the facts and we will expect an apology for your nastiness on Q.C.

I'm glad we are finally doing something about illegal immigration in this country - good for Arizona.

They could stop me every day for all I care to see if I am legal or not. People are ranting and raving about racial profiling but they are really FOR illegal immigration - probably because many of them employ illegals - both Republicans and Dems.

I will say though that I believe this immigration issue will SPLIT the Democratic Party - forever. Not all Libs are siding with the illegals. They killed one too many farmer in Arizona for my tastes in addition to the fact that they are draining our resources.

If a decent moderate Republican presents him/herself in the next election - I WILL vote Republican for the first time in my life - and I KNOW I'm not the only one.
