Illegal immigrants are a conservative’s dream. I don’t understand why they are so opposed to them. They come to this country and they live in conservative areas. They dramatically increase the population of those areas, which entitles those areas to more congresspeople. Thus, they inflate the number of conservative congress critters but they can’t vote! So conservatives votes actually count more.
In addition, because they have inflated the population of conservative areas, they increase those areas’ share of federal dollars. More dollars, and yet still, only the voters get to say where those dollars are spent. In other words, the conservatives can cut off spending for illegal immigrants (and they do), and use all that money for themselves.
Plus, the illegals pay taxes and pay into social security and medicare, but they can’t get anything back out out it. Again, more money for conservatives, and it’s all free.
Why do illegal immigrants go to areas where the people take advantage of them and discriminate against and hate on them in return? Why don’t illegal immigrants come to places where there are respected and appreciated for their contributions? Instead they give more power to the politicians who hate them. It just makes no sense. And it makes no sense that conservatives should hate them, since they are the ones advantaged by the illegal immigrants’ presence.
It’s a crazy backwards upside down world, and I am not saying this is a conspiracy. I am just pointing out how ironic it is. Conservatives, if smart, would love the immigrants. But they hate them. And immigrants, if smart, would hate conservatives, but in their life choices, they behave in a way that helps their enemies.
In a way, this gives me a kind of good feeling. If things are so fucked up, and it isn’t a conspiracy, then surely things might work out for the best on occasion, as well.
