Did you know that people come here on tourism trips from other countries to have their babies in the US so they can get citizenship?

Did you know what chain migration was?

Did you know that 45% of people in this country pay ZERO federal income taxes?

Did you know that illegals get hundreds of billions a year in spending by US taxpayers?

Did you know that if they set one foot in this country, we have to process an asylum claim putting a burden on our courts and our taxpayers?

Did you know any of this before 2012? I didn't. I admit it. Before Obama, I didn't know any of this.

Who doesn't that 45% include?

You're a stay at home mother, right?

So are we saying that none of this was going on before Obama?

I don't have a dog in the fight one way or another with Obama, but the post (if I'm reading it correctly- if not please correct me) is implying that Obama is responsible for this?

That's the real reason that Dems are so opposed to a wall.

It's the only method of border security that has any effect on keeping illegals from actually crossing the border instead of stopping them after they get here.

If they can claim asylum, then they can automatically stay here while their case is heard, tying up the courts and giving them time to find work and pop out an anchor baby.

Did you know that lots of bogus and useless "statistics" are thrown around on the Internet?

Illegal immigration became a tidal wave in the 80's and peaked in 2005/6 with the housing bubble.

Exactly. They don't even show up for xourt. Once theyre here they're here.

No, not solely. I think Bush and Clinton would also bear responsibility. I am not trying to fight. I just wanted to know if people knew any of this.

What statistic is bogus? The ONLY one I cited was the tax one. A 5 year old can google that.
