Yet you don't find it "sick" that illegals pay coyotes who are perfect strangers to smuggle their kids into this country. Would you hand over your child to a coyote that you've never met and have him take your child hundreds of miles away? Many of these kids end up getting raped by the coyotes. Does all this make you happy?

You know who is really pissed off that illegals keep getting a pass? People who waited to enter legally and have loved ones waiting to enter legally.

Because the vast majority of the world doesn't let people (and/or their children) come to their country illegally, and doesn't allow them to have kids in their country.

You also have no problem with the fact that when Americans go to jail they are separated from their kids.

Talk about hypocrisy!

I couldn't rep you again but...

My former next door neighbors were legal immigrants. The husband came here as a child. He told me that his parents waited 10 years to get permission to come here legally. I said to him, "Illegal immigration must make you angry." He said "yes".

Another former neighbor and her husband came here legally from South America. The wife told me that she doesn't like to see signage in Spanish because, in her words, in America you speak English. Needless to say, they were no fans of illegal aliens.

As I said, we allow in 1 million legal immigrants annually and also many refugees so what's your problem? Those who were born here were not rejected by any other lands as they aren't citizens of another land.

Meanwhile, employers can't find employees. The USA birthrate has dropped to the point it NEEDS immigration if the economy is to grow.

But, oh no. The alt-right and current government are on an anti-immigration crusade. Screw the need of those that will work for lower wages, screw those that want to make a better life and are NEEDED here.

They're brown, and don't look like us. We don't want them.

There has to be more to the story, as Quebec has one of the broader coverages of all provinces, and hernias are certainly covered as a medical necessary procedure. If you get a chance, ask him how come, as something doesn't make sense.

No one in my family ever has paid any extra, and I've had the misfortune of a 3.5 month stay in an acute care hospital.

What you're proposing is nothing but a Ponzi scheme. How many people will be too many for you? 1 billion? 2 billion? India has more than 1 billion people and Bangalore doesn't have enough potable water. Is that what you want for this country?

And what happens when all these people you want to come in retire? Do we bring in even more people? The problem with Ponzi schemes is that they all come crashing down.

We don't need anymore people. How old are you? Do you remember what it was like before we got infested with illegal aliens? Americans did all those jobs---and they still do. Back then Americans were paid a decent wage to do those jobs. Meatpacking and poultry plants paid enough to propel their employees into the lower middle class. Then along came illegals and the wages were depressed.

BTW, not all illegals are "brown'. What a bigoted, racist remark. In the past, ICE has deported illegals back to 189 countries. 189 countries covers every race, religion and ethnicity. I'm of Hispanic descent and don't want illegals here---no matter where they are from.

Then you're just as ignorant of history as the rest of the liberals tossing around the term Nazi. This is NOTHING like what the Nazis did.

Wait until the word gets out about this little kink in the stream. Women will not be hauling their kid as sympathy any longer.
Did they think we were going to welcome them with open arms?
