I don't understand the mental gymnastics people do to protect illegal activities. There's an underlying reason I'm sure.

When you're telling yourself there's only ONE WAY to solve a problem that tells you how entrenched or brainwashed you are.

It is actually very simple. There is only a single practical path to end the problem. And it continues to amaze me that those of you on the right cannot see what is right in front of your face. The present fiasco has been going on for 30 years. One would think you folks would have figured out by now that whining about illegals is not going to solve the problem.

So all you really have are click your red shoes three times and the illegals will all get up and leave.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to expand access to healthcare for residents who do not qualify under the Affordable Care Act, primarily undocumented immigrants.

Supervisor Hilda Solis praised the program as "one of the very few in the entire nation that exists that provides this kind of service.”

Cool. Nothing like blowing our tax dollars on criminals who shouldn't even be here. May as well have just flushed that money down the toilet.

Nope. Vast majority goes to the American citizen children.

The only practical path to solving the problem has not been tried so far. Trump is trying it but the loony left is blocking him at every step, putting illegals over Americans, in their quest to have open borders.

No, it drips with partisan political gamesmanship, or a lack of understanding on your part of the political games democrats are playing with e-verify.

The democrats have historically been the chief opponents of e-verify, so your point is nonsensical. The facts are, democrats insist on including migrant agriculture worker visas as part of the e-verify legislation, which is something Republicans cannot support because it’s a veiled version of amnesty.

So you’re either being deliberately deceptive, or just don’t understand the issue.

With thousands of Californians displaced by the fires, they should be our first priority. They are involuntarily homeless, unlike most of the homeless on the streets who are vagrants and drug addicts. Illegals shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

The migrants were offered work permits by Mexico. Why didn't they take them if they wanted jobs, hmmm?


The Dems refused Trump's DACA deal to give amnesty to a group whom the Dems have wrung their hands over and cried crocodile tears for years. Haven't heard a peep from them since.

Hopefully it will turn out that enough Mexican residents become enraged enough to prompt Mexico to bus the invaders right on back to and through the southern border of Mexico...
