I know, the pro-illegals act like there are no jobs in Mexico and they are all living in fear of the drug cartels. It's simply not true. I think it's more than higher paying jobs that attracts them here but all the benefits they can receive especially if they give birth on our soil. To survive here they have to live several in one household since our cost of living is so much higher.


It doesn't matter anyway, no one has the right to take from others and break laws to make their lives better. Americans have families to feed also.

The issue is what to do with the millions who are here and have been for a long time.
We have laws to deal with that.

Yes, but what about welfare? Can you have 4 kids there that will bring in food stamps, government subsidized housing, WIC vouchers, and welfare cash while the father works under-the-table so that his income doesn't count against the welfare for the home?

Yes, they come to suck the teat of public assistance, not to mention many flee because they have committed crimes in their own country and are on the run. Those magic 4 anchor babies can all draw a child tax credit, food stamps, low cost government housing, WIC coupons, free medical care and be delivered free of charge to the illegal alien under "emergency service" (while many American women are starting to have their babies at home or not have any at all or limit to one because of the cost)................. They come to milk the system. Also I have noted that the mothers have conceived most of the time by immaculate conception!

Politicians commit more felonies, but have the power and money to conceal it all (cue the applause). Blessed are those born rich and with silver spoons in their mouths.
