This is what our country has always been about. But do you know what your tax dollars really go to

We'd like to keep our tax dollars and use them as we see fit. Do you pay federal and state taxes? Of course, local property and sales tax is another ball of wax.

Answer - Because Trump is a horrible horrible horrible person with little interest and zero empathy for anyone other than himself.

But you have no control where your taxes go.

What, it's about blowing our money and resources on people who aren't citizens?

No, I think not.

If these were American kids there wouldn't even be this thread.

Let's help them first.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the expression "Charity starts at home". If what you want to happen does happen, that money needs to be used to help suffering Americans first and foremost. Period.

Somehow I doubt that you, as a mother, would ignore your own suffering children in favor of non-family members.

^^^^This post is spot on I ran out of rep or I would have repped you.

I, too, was once a staunch democrat and had family members who were lifelong democrats. When democrats decided to put illegals ahead of the millions of underemployed and unemployed suffering American citizens, they lost me. These days, neither party is looking out for us but there once was a time when dems could be counted on to do so.

And, President Trump has picked up on this. I just wish the Democrats would pick up on things and realize what people want instead of calling their own constituents racist for wanting a Fair Deal.

Where is this nonsense coming from. I’m sorry but many Americans are lazy and don’t want certain jobs. Without them we will have a job shortage. There are many jobs working on farms. What American wants it. Stop listening to Trumps lies

Which jobs? By importing millions of brown people who can easily be taken advantage of, working-class Americans get a raw deal. Do you realize that wages are depressed when there is a gluttony of labor? Or do you not? I suspect you do not understand the basics of supply and demand.
