You say Racism, I say Ageism.

For every accusation of racism that is presently being made towards the Trump Administration, I see a counter point, the use of the Racism card to blunt what is actually an ageism issue.

The most recent accusation of racism involves vetting potential immigrants based on how quickly they may need access to social safety net resources.

While Progressives claim this proposed policy is racist, the proposal is actually anti ageist. Immigrants who came to the U.S. 30 years ago, 40  years ago, 50 years ago, 60 years ago, 70 years ago....had no internet. Immigrants back then came to the U.S. to find work and to thrive. I am pretty certain virtually no one came to the U.S. hoping for Government handouts. However, with the advent of the internet, Immigrants can now do extensive research and learn how to immediately start taking before they have given. Or have we forgotten how Chinese were spending up to 80,000 dollars to fly pregnant women to California so their children were born on U.S. soil.

Supporting a U.S entitlements program that does not vet the newly arrived is AGEIST because it will result in those who are Baby Boomers and older having to share a perpetually dwindling earned entitlement pie with those who have not yet earned their entitlement.

This is not about racism, this is about AGEISM. Why believe the Dems are the good guys and the Republicans are the bad guys when they both basically are not doing enough for Baby Boomers and those older. 

Please don't fall for the Racism B.S., it's being permeated by idealistic narcissism that just does not give a crap about the aged.
