We have poor people coming here. Those governments are only too happy to see them leave. The poor are a drain on the economics of a society

Use prison labor, vagrants, welfare recipients, unemployed and maybe work visas (bracero program) to replace the illegal aliens.
We would still need a wall. Not all these so-called "migrants" are coming here to work. Many are coming to do harm such as drug mules, child traffickers and those who come from countries that are hostile to the US.

This is exactly what's happening. These countries laugh at us daily as their country is getting rid of unwanted trash and we accept them with open arms. Try flying these illegals into Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Quebec, ect and see how Canada would respond. You know, being the accepting and inclusive people we all know leftists are.....

One thing I find funny about this whole controversy of the government sending buses of illegals to various states to live is that many people dont seem to realize that this is what was always happening.

Their countries are the ones encouraging them to come! They cannot feed, clothe, or house a segment of their people nor provide the job or educational opportunities that would lift them out of poverty. It's much easier to just lose them as citizens, which would lessen competition for work and resources.

It is ok with me, I dont mind illegals. Legal status according to a government isnt a criteria that I use to judge people, I dont care what the government says.

I think it is funny how things happen during republican and democrat administrations and when their party is in power they pretend it isnt happening. Trump was busing the illegals around and so is Biden.

^^^^This is, well...

You have no problems with criminals because that's what illegal aliens are. The minute they overstay a visa or sneak across the border, they become lawbreakers. In order to work here they use either fake SSNs or engage in ID theft. Sometimes that fake SSN belongs to living person who, like the ID theft victim, gets put into a world of hurt. Either that or they get paid under the table which makes them tax evaders.

How many illegal aliens have you moved into your home and are feeding, clothing, paying for their medical care and immigration lawyers?

The government doesnt get to tell me what I do or dont have a problem with. I dont care if people break laws that shouldnt even be laws.

Isnt it funny how you base your opinions on legality and so you are just simply ok with something as long as the government is ok with it? So today, they are illegal and evil and tomorrow a law could be passed and makes them legal and so its all ok. My opinions arent filtered through the government.

There shouldn't even be laws? You want no laws and total anarchy?

Your attempt at deflection was lame. So, you don't put your money where your mouth is. As for me, I don't need to support legal immigrants. BTW, illegal immigration is a slap in the face to legal immigrants. I have respect for legal immigrants as they obeyed the laws and patiently awaited their turn to come here.

The rest of your post isn't even worth addressing. Buh-bye.
