No, our country is going bankrupt and we are trillions in debt with scarce jobs and resources. I find it funny that with a handle of "Laid Off" that you would advocate for this.

I have no issue with them coming here as long as we have a good resettlement plan on deck.

It would be the same as we've done for the others.

Sign them up for welfare and segregate them in various cities all around the country.

Absolutely not. They created the dumps let them live in them.

I think we need to "build a wall around the entire US", and get rid of anyone that's not a legal US citizen. It's funny that America's the richest country in the world, yet we have poor and homeless Americans living on the streets. How many Vets are homeless and aren't taken care as well as the illegals that enter this country. We've been falling apart as a country for how long and yet, we continue to take these people in and then take care of them!

I'd love to know the numbers of immigrants kept here illegally by US employers LYING saying they're doing jobs that Americans can't. I worked with one that should have been shipped back to the Ukraine and the witch treated most Americans like dirt under her feet. I'm not talking farming jobs here. My brother worked for a large corporation and he said his employer constantly used this practice for technical engineers. That's part of the reason our kids coming out of college can't find good jobs.

We can send all this money to other countries, yet we can't afford to repair our infrastructures?

Isn't it time that our government "Just Says No" and take care of our own and rebuild so that Americans might be able to reap some of the benefits of all the wasted money on illegal immigration and put that money toward Americans that need help to achieve "The American Dream". I don't think that exists for Americans anymore.

There is so much fixing in this country to be done, yet our country and our people are last in line.

Now that I have my rant done, NO. Take them anywhere else but here.

Wake up C, it's only a dream.....

Haiti should also become our 51st state. They could use the help.

Excellent, truthful post. I would only add that our elderly are also being denied in favor of foreigners both here and abroad. None of our taxes should go for supporting illegal aliens that's for sure. The bleeding hearts are destroying our country.
