I wouldn't say states are fighting over who gets them, but if they are such a drain, why are cities with large populations of illegals, such as New York, San Francisco and LA, declaring sanctuary status?
No they aren't! Even factoring the taxes that they do pay they still cost us over $100 billion a year. Those who are working for cash aren't paying into SS anyway.

I have said for a LONG time, Democrats are misreading the electorate on this one.

Has he managed to get the Mexican government to pay for that wall he promised?

The same 1/2 that always was. But the question referred to those with prior removal orders. It’s a mixed bag. I’d say most have no clue to what that even means. But we know all trumpettes are at 100%. Btw the kids are going to hate this generation.

If Trump releases those immigrant hostages to their country of origin he d win by a landslide in 2020.

Sadly he could never organize such a humanitarian rescue.

He s so preoccupied with avoiding an international trial for crimes against humanity he cant see straight.

Per the bolded --- How can anyone believe that nonsense?

It's incredibly naive to think that illegals don't collect welfare. Plenty who have engaged in ID theft then go and apply for welfare. Plus, once illegals drop an anchor baby, said anchor baby is eligible for welfare programs such as EBT, WIC and Section 8 housing. When that happens, the whole family benefits.

They can't collect SS? If you believe that, then I have some oceanfront property in AZ to sell to you. Once again, those who commit ID theft have indeed filed to collect SS and the true owner of that SS number suffers greatly due to that. Try reading about the h*ll ID theft victims get put through. Did you know that someone right now could be using your SSN but not with your name attached to it? When that happens, the SSA won't tell you. You only find out when the IRS comes after you for not filing a tax return on a job you never worked. Even more despicable, there is a loophole in the law that says you can use someone else's SSN as long as you don't use your name with it.

What meager rent illegals pay living in flophouses with 15 or more people doesn't even make a dent in the cost of educating their kids. To give you an example, where I live, a house has to be assessed at $1 million to cover the education of one child.

Illegals like to use the ER as their personal doctor. Who do you think pays for that? Certainly not the illegals!

Educate yourself! Once you do, you will realize just how ridiculous it is to say that illegals are "a net plus".

Here---I'll give you a good starting point:

Democrats have been denying a crisis at the border for the past 2 years. Totally out of step with what Americans care about/.

That’s some genuine liberal gibberish right there. Not an accurate thing about it but genuine.

There also doesn't have to be a war for one to be politically persecuted. Snowden can tell you about that.
22 million illegals released documents about the abuse of intelligence agencies in their home countries? Show us.

I don't think you understood what I said but these kinds of worthless replies are pretty common.

We have no internal war but yet we politically prosecute people.
