Nothing will ever get done about illegals crossing the border. America is so diverse you can't get everyone on board to fight against it. It's way out of control now and we Americans are going to keep paying higher & higher taxes to pay for thier 'freebies'.
Just a thought though, what if the hiring businesses and the gov are in cahoots to use them for thier secret trial of socialism? Or like another poster said to have them fight our wars? Seems they have to pay there 'free' way somehow?

I once witnessed a flood of mexicans piled together in a van leaving a factory across the street from where i was parked at a store and i watched to see where the van was going. They only drove a couple driveways down into a large apartment building and i seen them all get out of the van & into the apartment building. I really can't say they were illegals or not but it sure left me feeling suspicious.

We need to hire the Canadian truckers to shut down our southern border. They managed to shut down the northern border at Detroit.

Our Home Depot would have illegals in the parking lot looking for work and stealing supplies out of trucks. I could never leave tools or supplies unattended in the back of my truck. Spoke to the manager about this and eventually they put “No Loitering” signs on the lot. The illegals would still show up. I’d get to HD and call the cops. They would thank me and say they’re on their way.

I knew the plague would spread across the country and tried to warn others. Now it’s out of control. Politicians need to be arrested. Those that don’t abide by existing immigration law.

I’ll say it again. Politicians that don’t abide by existing immigration law need to start being locked up!
In a related vein, it might not have been the sole turning point, but I think the death of Kate Steinle contributed to Trump getting across the finish line in 2016.

Next to Tyson, there is a trailer park with what I would say "original" mobile homes, the very early ones that is SO dumpy, yet allowed. My guess is that if border patrol was doing their job, the place would be empty!

I always tell my husband, I should yell "immigration" to clear out the store so we can shop! We always knew they were there as they had 5 or 6 kids and a new pickup, and this was in an area with a lot of poverty. I guess if we weren't supporting their kids, we might have had a new pickup too!

If someone has not lived among these people, and I have in 3 cities to include the Tucson area, they need to keep their mouths shut as they don't have a clue. When one isn't suffering the side effects of a situation, they should not even be entitled to an opinion.

Tyson should be shut down until they quit hiring illegal aliens. As should every business.

I've lived in Southern California, Tucson, and now a small town near Austin. I don't use the word "invasion" lightly or often, but that's what it is in these places. You're absolutely right -- no one who isn't living in a place inundated with illegal aliens has no idea what it's like. No bloody idea at all.

Oops ... should be "has any idea what it's like."

Back in the mid-1990s, my older son was attending college in the town I was speaking of in KS. He said that they would raid the meat packing plants/dog food plants, and the next week on Monday, a bus would unload a bunch more. I also learned that just because a company says they e-verify, that is often not done for all employees.

Honestly, they keep the Amtrac running between SW KS where they are a TON of illegals just to give them transportation to and fro, but they don't say that, but that is what is happening. I suspect they grab a train out of TX and head north.

Oddly, DHS arrested a friend's son in Emporia for drug possession. They tracked him, said they smelled drugs or something like that (I did read the report), and took him to jail, while illegal aliens traveled freely around the entire town. Geesh, they ran an article in the paper about an illegal alien that worked as a janitor at a local church and was injured, as they were collecting money for the wife and kids. So, DHS being present sounded like they were looking at illegal aliens, but nope, just citizens that were breaking the law - and this separated my friend from his child, yet no one was whining on TV about that. Double standard that is ridiculous!

I was really confused that DHS was in town, as I saw NO reports of anyone rounding up illegal aliens.

That was about the election. It was not about illegal immigration.

I think you know but you're trying to be cute. Your flippant attitude and attempt at humor is a tell all.
