You are talking to a legal immigrant here. Of course there is.

It's called "Go home and apply for visa or green card from your home country."

Like I said in my first post in this thread, I do support border security. I want illegal immigration stopped. That does not however mean I want to deport the ones that have been here, worked and stayed out of trouble.

You and Trump get along fine. Simple solutions for simple people.


Let me know when reality comes around.

No need to deport anybody. They will go home by themselves.


I just don't get why Democrats want to screw the poor while claiming they want to help the poor. If you were Republican, I'd be fine with as least you would be constant.

Not here to debate immigration. I am here to ask why it is acceptable to screw our poor people.

In other words, your claim is a lie. I and several other posters here already suspected as much, but thanks for providing proof.

I get the feeling that you don't really care about the poor. That's not what this is about.

How do 11 million illegals screw over 50 million poor people? That's a pretty impressive ratio. Are these hardworking illegals working 4.5 jobs now?

This does not add up, to me. Someone like you has become successful because of your own initiative. Yet you wish to give all your power away to the government? I think something is missing.
