You didn't say illegal. You said specifically immigrants in general have destroyed the health care system and schools.

As far as being patients, yes they have.

Many public schools are overrun thanks to the amount of people that come here by thousands every day illegal or not

Public student enrollment in Massachusetts has been on a steady downward trend for 20 years, so how is it being overrun now?

Again--since you're pointing to immigrants in general, just know that nearly 1 in 3 physicians in the US were not born in the US. Good luck maintaining the same quality of care if you get rid of them.

It's overrun with those nasty Spanish-speaking children.


It does put a lot of stress on special ed in urban school systems. The cherry sheet funds poor school systems but ESL programs and getting students up to grade level is a lot of expensive resources. If you need special ed resources in a Lexington or the W towns, there are relatively few children with special needs so the school department has the resources.

Our homie here as well as comandante timber, typical lefties, are quite disingenuously referring to the herds of uneducated, unskilled, unemployable fauxsylum illegals pouring across the border who will end up costing the taxpayers hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars as immigrants meaning they make no distinction between the two groups. As for compassion I don’t know about you but I work for a living and I don’t want to be taxed into oblivion just because someone feels like being generous with someone else’s money.

This will only get worse. Wait and see how many people starting showing up as climate change causes crop failures, droughts, lack of electricity and mass migrations due to inhabitable land.

Seems like the only livable places on this planet are the US and Europe. People suck.

So the people who use disproportionatly more energy and contribute the most to climate change per capita will suffer from it eventually?

Who wudda thunk it.
