The ones who they interviewed don't speak English, many of them have very large families, many of the adults appear extremely unhealthy.

Many of them in the caravan of large number of babies and children that they can't afford and appear bloated from different health conditions.

One of them were even wearing military style camouflage in the video.

I don't welcome them at all....

We have too many homeless people and people that need too much help...that we are not helping now

...every dime and every minute someone spends on them should be spent on our own first

So you think he can do it without congress' approval? Maybe he should be like Obama and bypass congress by an EO to get it done? Is that the kind of leader you want?

People are people. Economic hardship can push people to do things they'd rather not do.

If these people were europeans or muslim or chinese, it would still be the same.

Again, not justifying, but also not vilifying.

Uh, huh. I'm a believer, Chicano. Why is it mostly Hispanics who keep defending these people? There aren't many Europeans, Muslims or Chinese here illegally compared to Hispanics. Economic hardship is not an excuse to come here seeking asylum nor to enter our country illegally. Breaking laws and taking from others what doesn't belong to you should be vilified.

For one thing, it's just a username. Picked it long ago because it use to be my Xbox gamertag. Don't really care too much for it anymore. But can't change my username though.

I usually find myself arguing with relatives that say racist things towards Armenians. And those were the ones who voted Trump lol.

Most illegals tend to be Hispanic because they're our direct neighbors. But I don't care about anyone's race. It's such a mundane thing to care about.
I'm thinking you got a problem based on our previous discussion about speaking different languages in public. Spanish in particular.

I been around the country, and knew different people from different places and walks of life. I never grew up solely with one race.

Regardless of your user name you admitted awhile back that you're Hispanic so that's my point. There are just as many Democrats that make racist remarks about others as Republicans do so what's your point? It's irrelevant who they voted for as Trump isn't a racist as far as I can see.


Well Canada is our close neighbor also but not that many Canadians are here illegally. My issue with hearing so much Spanish being spoken is directly due to the millions of them here illegally. I have a valid point.

We are paying for the problems in Central America either way, I would rather spend the money addressing their problems. The policies for several decades have failed, they are nothing more than a band aide.

You talk as if money grows on trees here in the United States!
Well after the tax cut passed last year that will cause add over $1T to the deficit I can only conclude that money does go on trees, that money would have been well spent addressing the problems in these countries.
