Title: America's Burglar Bar Future - A Welfare Class of Illegal Aliens

HOROWITZ: FORGET AMNESTY, CONGRESS VOTED TO GIVE WELFARE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

Many Republican supporters of loose borders, along with quite a few Democrats, vehemently deny that they support amnesty. They contend that merely asking illegal aliens to pay a fine and back-taxes in return for legal status is not amnesty. Fox News’s Brit Hume passionately denounced those who refer to some of the immigration proposals in Congress as amnesty.

But amnesty means means “an act of forgiveness for past offenses, especially to a class of persons as a whole.” What else would you call granting legal status, let alone the privilege of full blown citizenship, to millions of people who came to the U.S. illegally?
Even beyond amnesty itself, Congress seems to trip over itself providing benefits to people who came to the U.S. illegally. Just look at the inability of the GOP-controlled House to deny aliens welfare and benefits even before they are granted legal status.

On Tuesday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) offered an amendment to the FY 2015 Transportation-HUD appropriations bill (H.R. 4745) to cut off Section 8 housing for those here in the country illegally. Gohmert cited a 2009 HUD study which showed that 0.4% of spending for housing programs go towards subsidizing illegal immigrants. His amendment would have cut the Public Housing Capital Fund by $7.1 Million and the Public Housing Operating Fund by $17.6 million, which is commensurate to the 0.4% share of the overall budget steered towards housing subsidies for illegal aliens.

“In a time when some American citizens can't get the housing they need it is unacceptable that those ineligible are stealing from them. This amendment would help encourage HUD to look into this problem and make corrections in their oversight and enforcement of the laws that should govern the way they run the federal housing assistance programs,” said Gohmert.

In America people lived for generations in places that didn't know front page crime.  People left their door unlocked, keys in their cars, and didn't seem to feel fear when their children left for school in the morning.

Today, big places like Chicago are likened to war zones with dozens killed on the weekends and crime seems to be the new norm.

What will America look like with 100 million illegal aliens or immigrants arriving every decade?  "No English"  "Must Speak Spanish"?

Burglar bars for everyone?  Everyone except those who live in places like Bar Harbor and Martha's Vineyard?  Folks who can afford to close their community, build walls, and add armed guards 24/7?  Armed drones?

How long before the USA looks like a third world slum with burglar bars on every window? 

Uncontrolled disease, decay, and nobody remembers the prosperity of the past?

just my humble opinions
