However the Koch’s were Nevertrumpers that wouldn’t support a candidate that supported Trump. David Koch was a Republican Elite that supported unbridled immigration to provide low paid workers for the US.

    The radical leftist Progressives celebrated when Barbara Bush croaked, for god's sake.

    The radical leftist Progressive have no decency or shame.

    ’m libertarian leaning – like Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit. However, at some point common sense needs to kick in and neither Glenn or I support open borders. The Koch brothers treat/ed libertarianism as a religion and that includes open borders. The official libertarian religion is that there should be no welfare and thus anyone coming to the US will provide value in services. You might eventually sell me on that (but probably not) but that’s not how it works now and never will. You need to make decisions based on reality not on believing in unicorn farts. The US is currently a welfare magnet to the third world and only Trump was running on that issue. Not one dem, then and not one dem ever, is going to deal with that reality. When you are in the same arena as AOC, you might consider getting out of the intellectual sewer.

    Then they were never Trumpers. They didn’t like the tone. As I’ve said, I don’t believe in asymmetrical warfare. The Koch’s again completely ignored the actual facts on the ground with any republican being called a nazi white supremacist. They preferred the maverick – mitten’s approach of taking the high road and losing. Losing is for losers.

    Ts & Ps to his family, but looking at this objectively, it's good for the United States that he's gone.

    What % of the total welfare state is attributable to third world immigration into the US.

    You'll find a friend in me on the welfare state issue. What else should we do to deal with that problem? Do you mind it that much less when it happens to be someone who by accident of history was born here?

    I'm all for doing something about the bloated welfare state, but it should be an effort to minimize it across the board; all users.

    As for people who come here, make it simple: ten years, no welfare. You have to be here for 10 years and working and current on your taxes before you can apply for anything. Like 20 better? I'm good with that. 20 years. Very few exceptions, like total (proven through a rigorous process) disability, etc. Otherwise, the answer is no.

    Why focus on only one part of the welfare state problem? Makes little sense to me. People on welfare are a drag to society, be they citizens or otherwise.
