Immigration Is Not The Problem

Earlier, in the Twentieth Century, the new immigrants coming to America's shores were often just as poor as the Mexicans arriving here now. Most of them spoke little, or no, English. Nor, did they all have families or friends to help and assist them - during their own transition - to our strange American ways of cultural life. In all of these ways, they very much resembled those currently trampling across our southern borders today.

At that time, of course, we were a different nation as well. No one was given public assistance through the agencies of government. There was no: Food Stamps, Public Housing, Welfare, or Safety Net - to speak of. Although Godliness, Human Kindness, and Charity were then socially encouraged - massive and systemic governmental undertakings were considered by most Americans as a very real threat to Individual Liberty and Freedom! Americans either offered assistance to others, or not - based purely upon their own personal situations and moral discretion. Consequently, newly arrived immigrants couldn't lay any claims upon Publicly Funded Benefits, which the rest of us didn't [factually] possess either. Of course, the resultant individual Tax Rates were substantially lower, as well.
