Stop your fact-free, know-nothing, bigoted rants. Looking at actual studies show that they contribute more than they use. I am sure that you will be able to cite actual evidence that "they march around demanding more entitlements." Typically, if one is not documented they want to keep a low profile.

Regarding entitlements, this CNN article: 5 immigration myths debunked demonstrates that what you are saying is baloney.

Undocumented immigrants do not qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, and most other public benefits. Most of these programs require proof of legal immigration status and under the 1996 welfare law, even legal immigrants cannot receive these benefits until they have been in the United States for more than five years.
Please come back when you have something factual to contribute.

If you liberals don't wake up the hoards of illegal immigrants coming to this country and staying causing us to be totally vulnerable to the exact thing Paris endured tonight.

Before you say it....its not fear talk, its REALITY!!! Quit guarding rights of those who are not citizens and stick up for the US citizens for a change....

Trump is right....Sorry you can't handle it!!
You really think what happened in Paris will affect how most of us feel? If this is the case, lets suport Cruz, he feels the same way about illegals. In fact we all want them stopped. What you are not seeing is: you can't send back all the 12 mil or whatever the number that are here. No one is suggesting we keep letting illegals in for heavens sake.

No, I don't see any way Trump would get elected. I also don't think the country has done anything as crazy.

Trump has hard-core support from a faction of the Republican Party. He doesn't have support from Democrats and I don't know about Independents. But I do know that based upon his lack of support from minorities, Trump will need about 62% of the white vote in order to win. He just doesn't have that.

Moreover, Trump will need to carry "Blue" states that have high urban populations that do not support him.

All-in-all, a Trump nomination is unlikely and a general election win is a long-shot.

As much as the Ann Coulter view that "Trump was elected tonight," even if there is enough fear and hysteria now about terrorism, cooler heads will prevail by election night.

You first.

There are studies that show that illegals cost more than they contribute, as I'm sure you know.

Illegals don't keep a low profile in Southern California. They march around with Mexican flags, claiming that they are taking back "their" land.

You're the one full of baloney..

Yes, you can.

It might take about ten years, and a hundred thousand more ICE agents authorized to profile and sweep the interior of the country.

But it can be done -- and it should be done.

We arrest and jail hundreds of thousands of Americans every year.

And no one worries about "breaking up their families" when they are sent to prison.

But somehow, we can't touch the illegals.

What nonsense!

All the above is speculation.

No one expected Reagan to win.

He did -- in a landslide.

The liberals screw everything up, show how much they hate America, and finally people wake up.

And you know they are "illegal" immigrants and not legal immigrants, which are the vast majority of Hispanics in the U.S.

Wrong.

And either way, it's disgusting.

If they like Mexico so much, let them go back there.

The only flag they should be waving is the American flag.

According to the Center for American Progress,

Quote:
Broken down by immigration status, the foreign-born population was composed of 18.6 million naturalized U.S. citizens and 22.1 million noncitizens in 2012. Of the noncitizens, approximately 13.3 million were legal permanent residents, 11.3 million were unauthorized migrants, and 1.9 million were on temporary visas.
A statement about liking Mexico so much, they should go back, is a giveaway of xenophobia.

Yes, and Romney was supposed to win in a landslide too, at least, according to conservatives.

They were so confident, that this happened:
