Green cards are the way that immigrants can enter and stay in the U.S. legally. In 2009, we issued 1.1 million green cards to legal immigrants ... to me an astounding number. See
Green Card Influx (You can also click through to the Homeland Security website for a breakdown by years and by country of these green card recipients -- 18,553 to Iranians in 2009 alone no less!) Now, yes, these numbers are somewhat typical of recent years, including Bush's latter years, but remember this is occurring in the same year 3 million resident Americans have lost their jobs.
Now admittedly, most of these green cards were issued to family members of legal U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, but still this seems to place an undue burden on this country's currently strained resources. Now, exhibiting my continued political paranoia, I have to suspect that this spate of new green cards during an economic downturn and a period of increased national turmoil might possibly be motivated by reasons other than pure charity. What do you think?
Well, it is pretty clear from the overwhelming evidence that you present that Obama is trying to replace Americans with Iranians and other foreigners, to further his political agenda. It makes perfect sense.
ReplyDeleteWhy would it not occur to Janet Napolitano that, of the 12,000 Iranians allowed into the U.S. in 2009, there might be just a few that are up to some serious mischief?
ReplyDeleteGeorge, ten percent of any cohort - even native white guys - are unsavory murderers and thieves. By your logic we should do body cavity searches on Tea Party attendees too.
ReplyDeleteI think that much of the popular media (getting less popular every day) already are giving tea-partiers daily colonoscopies.
