I'm sure the Dems are writing up plans to make item number 1 a possibility for illegals. They're already working hard for item 2. Seriously, nothing would surprise me anymore in this country.

Most legal immigrants are poor and pay little if any taxes.

The claim is factually false.

Actually it's true.

No voter ID = anyone can vote.

The Obama administration allowing sanctuary cities and releasing criminal aliens on its own = immunity from deportation.

If you're OTM (other than Mexican), the border patrol automatically releases you.

And of course, interior enforcement away from the border is strictly forbidden.

It would be true if illegals were immune from deportation, but that is obviously not true, since illegals are being deported every day. Anyone who claims otherwise is either ignorant, or a liar.

A "permanent alien" is not a visitor either, but someone who is here permanently, probably waiting for citizenship.

Oh, yeah.

Here in San Diego where I live, the freeways are just CRAMMED with ICE buses taking illegals to the border to be deposited in Tijuana.

Er, NOT.

Are you seriously trying to claim illegal immigrants are immune from deportation, and that no one is being deported?

You are either ignorant, or you are lying.
