Desperate hungry poor people track 1,000+ miles for a better life (just like our ancestors), getting here and following the lawful process to apply for refugee status...and you call them invaders while whining about your property taxes. What have we become?
That promise of no income taxes in Tejas isn't all that, huh? The gubmint gonna get theirs anyhow.
Cue the violins.
Have you been living under a rock? Haven't you seen the photos of these people in the caravans? None of them are starving. Most of them have smart phones.
You, apparently since you've been living under a rock, don't know that Mexico offered them all asylum. Not only that, they would have sent them to Chiapas where there were jobs waiting for them plus schooling for their kids. And, yes, some of them did take Mexico up on their offer. If all these people were as desperate and fearful as they claimed, they all would have taken up Mexico's offer.
They only want the US for all the freebies. Don't say otherwise
All that said, as a liberal, you should be welcoming all these people with open arms---even opening your home to them
I love it!! The Democrats want to let them in this country until they end up in their backyard then they squeal like pigs to keep them out. I hope they pack the Democrat areas with as many illegals they can get in. Be careful what you ask for. LOL!!
We can't have our country flooded with millions and millions of poor and under-educated migrants andnot expect that fact to drag down the US standard of living. And by the way, they'll never be able to earn enough to financially support the increasingly more costly Social Security and Medicare disasters because being low-income earners, they won't pay enough tax to do so.
It's essentially national suicide, which is why every other country on the face of the earth has merit-based immigration systems.
It's why I think who ever is running this country and making decisions, are trying to purposefully destroy this country. Our military is stretched thin across the globe, our constitutional rights are constantly being challenged because of this influx of immigrants who refuse to assimilate, and through false PC pandering, our cultures and traditions are being destroyed. When we can no longer have that backyard BBQ, or have fun racing down the street in our cars, or root for American Football because all have been either outlawed, banned or went bankrupt, then what is left of America? Heck, America's dream was to be able to own a home with a white picket fence, and thanks to outrageous taxes, high cost of regulations and disappearing jobs, that dream has been shifted to now being able to own a nice car. And the same group is now targeting the automobiles, wanting everyone to take public transportation. Same group is taking away our freedoms by hiding behind some false sense of security, some retarded identity political pandering, or their lying about caring for the environment, (which is definitely a lie because neverending immigration is a stress on the environment)
So now Trump's sending the refugees to one of the most conservative areas in California. Trump is going against his supporters. First he goes after Farmers with tariffs. Then he goes after Florida which is a red state which supported him. Now he goes after metro San Diego County CA which is one of the most conservative areas of the state.

Not only that but wanting a better life is not a viable reason to claim asylum here. Are they too stupid not to know that?

Seems he doesn't care about his supporters.
He knows how stupid his supporters are. That's it in a nutshell. Farmers who are putting their family farms up for auction because of his lame-brained tariffs will be lining up to vote for him next year without a second thought.
When your supporters are idiots you can do pretty much whatever you want and you won't lose them. Trump knows this. And unfortunately, he is right about it. We see evidence of it right here every day.

Exactly. The never-ending influx of poor and under-educated immigrants is a societal and environmental disaster. For example, California is about to get a good taste of that which they didn't expect.
The prior Repulican Governor of Florida also purposely avoided requiring E-Verify for Florida. He said that it puts Florida businesses at a disadvantage. Now he's a US Senator. Republican politicians love illegals because they provide cheap labor for businesses. If they wanted to do something about illegals they would enact mandatory E-Verify. They don't. The don't even mention it. Not even Trump. It's much more effective than a wall and much cheaper and faster to implement.
I can't speak for Florida but Trump has had e-verify in his last two budgets and just like in the past it was probably the Democrats that voted it down. If you think it's only Republican business owners that hire illegal aliens then you are not dealing in reality. The Democrats also have other ulterior motives for wanting them here.
Not all illegals are coming here to work, thus the wall. Certainly criminals, terrorists and those seeking birthright citizenship and benefits for their kids aren't looking for jobs. The wall is needed along with e-verify and changing birthright citizenship.

"Probably the Democrats"? Probably that is not correct. Since when is the farm lobby Democrats? Who were the "leaders of the House" in early 2018? Probably, if employers had to used e-verify, they wouldn't keep turning up illegal workers at Trump properties.
"...Farm groups strongly opposed the defeated employee verification system. Those groups represent huge swaths of the Central Valley districts of House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, and Rep. Jeff Denham, R-California, who have been leading immigration efforts in the House..."
...The agricultural industry lobbied hard against the inclusion of e-verify, saying it is already struggling with a worker shortage and the proposal would exacerbate the problem. Farm groups have only signaled widespread support for an agricultural worker visa that allowed current undocumented workers to apply without having to return to their home countries...."
