You are unaware that once illegals birth an anchor baby, the whole family benefits. Who do you think pays for the births of said anchor babies? Answer: the taxpayers. Who do you think pays every time they go to the ER for the sniffles? Answer: The taxpayers. The anchor baby is eligible for all sorts of welfare programs and the whole family benefits in the form of EBT cards and Section 8 housing.

There is a difference between "your economy" and "our economy". What would happen to "our economy" if you deported the 20-million illegals? There would be more vacant houses than in the 2007 financial crisis, labor prices would skyrocket, and American businesses would struggle even more against China. You're talking about the biggest depression in American History.


Our government doesn't care about you at all. So go to work and pay your taxes, you silly serf.

Nothing is going to change. Why do you bother?

And coming to Florida from England wasn't good enough for that poster you were replying to. He left for Canada over 40 years ago and still lives there.

Why do you care about any of the above? You just moved out of the country and said you will only move back when 'all of the Millennials are in charge'. You have no way of knowing if you'll live that long .

I visited the Makah reservation in Washington state a few years ago and had a long and fascinating conversation with one of the members of the tribe. He blames the negative things that have happened over the history of his people on both the U.S. government and the Canadian government.

Because they didn't have a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, Democrats wouldn't agree to end both chain migration and the visa lottery, and Mitch opposes ending the filibuster for legislation.

Where are most illegals coming through our southern or our northern border? It's in idiotic argument to say we need a wall on our northern border when it's our southern border that is the real problem. E-verify should be mandated but it's not the total solution as not all illegals are coming here to work. Certainly criminals and those from known terrorist countries aren't coming here to work. We need good physical barriers on the places where it's feasible. Also, we would need to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens as that's another incentive for illegals to come here.

Everyone has a chance at the American dream "if" they come here legally. No one has a right to it by coming here illegally. Our annual quotas for legal immigration favor non-whites so this argument about racism is laughable to say the least.
