I would like to know what the Republicans plan on doing with the millions of illegals here already because the Democrats will not do anything. Somehow they need to be sent back where they came from. The sanctuary cities are already busting at their seams and most likely going bankrupt.

That's the real question.

Democrat politicians are perceived as lazy, much like the people that vote for them, so you are correct that they will not do anything.

Will a Republican politician stand up, take the heat from the MSM, and lay out WHY we do not need millions of illegal aliens?

The reality is we do not, and we certainly do not need illegal aliens who are sucking up taxpayer dollars. They represent a very low-value group to this country. Until the CITIZENS of the US who are homeless are addressed, we certainly do not need to address the needs of ANY illegal aliens.

If they weren't getting freebies I'd be all for having them.

We don't need millions of poor, unskilled and uneducated foreigners in our county holding low paying jobs that don't pay a liveable wage, overcrowding our schools, healthcare facilities, roads and neighborhoods and depleting our social and natural resources.

My ancestors and presumably yours were among those. Getting freebies, not just being here, is the problem.

Except back then we were in need of manual laborers, our population was much smaller, the cost of living was much lower then and there were no freebies a big difference compared to today.

THAT'S what I'm afraid of. And while I don't exactly consider myself a "fraidy-cat", I'm pretty certain that when these invaders go knocking, it's not one at a time, so the homeowner is greatly outnumbered if/when the "you know what" hits the rotary oscillator......

Other than a handful of people in congress, no one really wants to do anything to stop the flow. Some for 'kumbaya' reasons some for economic (cheap labor) reasons, and some who want to upset the demographics of this country.

Even without the freebies, we don't need them.

What you don't want is millions of illiterate, unvaccinated third-worlders coming en masse across the border.

When immigrants from Europe came after WWII, they came in through Ellis Island and had to have SPONSORS before they could make the trip. The sponsors had responsibility, and very few of them were on the public dole due to the laws.

Fast forward 80 years, and we are not getting the best and the brightest across the southern border. We don't even know who is coming in, because of the stupidity of both the Obama and Biden Administrations.

Until the situation with veterans is addressed, we should have ZERO immigration. We simply do not need them, and they are a net drain on resources.

Without the freebies, we would get the best and the brightest, as we did from Europe and Asia before 1914.
