Fake News Update: Agitation Propaganda -Retirement vs The Wall

Border Security vs Retirement Security - WASHPO Business article by - Michelle Singletary

This is supposed to be a business article yet the first line of the article states "President Trump is obsessed with a wall, and he claims it’s necessary to make the U.S. border with Mexico safer."  

When you think of a business article you hope to presuppose that there is some semblance of balance and objectivity and relationship to business.  Calling a president obsessed outs the position of the writer from the beginning.  There is no balance.  Also, deceptively using the word "claims," to indicate it is a possible fraud without proof like an infomercial for vitality or hair growth is about average nowadays for what pretends to be news.  

A few facts should pointed out.  First, let's say the wall could cost up to $50 billion to build while current estimates are around $35 billion or so.  Illegal immigration costs the country easily $100 billion per year in crime, education costs, medical costs, housing costs, and subsistence payments.  This doesn't count the reduced help available to seniors thanks to priorities that often put illegals ahead of Americans in most of the categories.  If you don't believe it just notice that Spanish is always printed on the other side of the forms for assistance of any kind.  Meanwhile, Veterans and Americans are held to income standards, ID requirements, and a multitude of other restrictions that force them to go broke before they are eligible for almost any assistance.

Allowing an endless flow of low skilled labor with many requiring public assistance so somehow this is supposed to help the public trough for future retirees.  Don't count on it.  The political calculation is to have a large enough voting bloc of new arrivals that they will be able to vote down any protections from retirees while voting for their own free stuff.

Articles like this only prove that the media bias against Trump and conservatives is out in the open with no concern for appearances.
