That's right, it's not you or your 'friends and family'.

Not pay taxes? And you know this how? Do you know these folks pay taxes and most never get a dime back. No refunds, no SS, no medicare. Yet, they pay so Americans can cash their SS checks and sell their doctors.

These are young families. Latinos are attending college at record numbers. Go do your research kind sir.

They come here for a better life. Not like lots of lazy Americans who collect welfare. You are so full of stereotypes that it's actually sad.
Yes they are enrolling in record numbers.
But sadly they are not graduating in record numbers.

Only 11% actually finish the program and graduate with a degree.



Many Latinos in college but not enough graduate, report finds
Nearly 11 percent of Latino adults in California ages 25 or older have earned at least a bachelor’s degree compared with 30 percent of all Californians, 39 percent of whites, 23 percent of African-Americans and about 48 percent of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, according to 2011 U.S. Census Bureau data.

We don't need vigilantes!

Texas Dem blasts ’10 active militias’ on border: ‘Pointing guns at children solves nothing’

Oathkeepers, Three Percenters and Patriots have reportedly been recruiting members to patrol the Texas border for the last month.

The Monitor reported that a so-called militia “commander” by the name of Chris Davis released a 21-minute YouTube video last month explaining how members would deal with child refugees.

“How?” he asked. “You see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, ‘Get back across the border or you will be shot.’”

Ho hum. I suppose your outrage is also directed at our border agent on the Canadian Alaskan border who pointed his gun at a boy scout as well. Yeah right. When Americans are threatened you are okydoky with it.

Some of these border guards are way over the top. I remember reading about a couple up there and the border guards pretty much destructed a RV of an old couple.

Are you alright with the border guard shooting a Mexican kid as he walked down the street in his own country?

Back to the racist crappola.............all liberals can fall back on when they have no argument left to support. Which is sad.

If a town receives a bus load of just ten illegal alien children, that means that town will need to find $100,000 in new taxes somewhere, just to educate these children in their schools. This does not count any additional social welfare expenditures. BTW, I seriously doubt the parents or guardians of these children will be paying $100,000 in local taxes either.
Hundred grand? Heck my state last time I checked was 9K per student per year. Of course the feds and all of us pay for that. Yeah liberals bring em all on............I guess we can learn to speak spanish too so as not to upset any of em.

LOL..guess you didn't know that they found the loophole to claim all their kids that don't live with them for tax refund credits.

Re-read those links..the IRS is not "looking for them"....the IRS paid out that much to them.
IRS looking for evil tea party folks.
