How our money is spent

[imagine2frolic]

Not wanting illegals here, and hating them are 2 different things. Immigrants are welcome. We are all immigrants, we can't go back 400 years, and undo that. We can focus on the current problem, and stop it. I don't blame people for wanting to come into my home. Just use the front door, and ask permission. It cost money, and time. I know my wife is a LEGAL IMMIGRANT. Operatives words being ILLEGAL, and LEGAL........i2f

I'll second that I2F. I also had a wife that was an immigrant from Canada and know how the system works.

I don't debate the economics of illegal aliens. Economics has nothing to do with "illegal" and trespassing and stealing into the US.

Don't let people with agendas confuse you all, illegal aliens need to be deported simply because they are trespassers--at best. And we need to clarify the Constitution about who is an American Citizen. Any child born in America, to parents who have illegally entered America, should not be a citizen by birth. They should be an illegal alien. You don't reward people for trespassing and lying. Ever.

The economics and the jobs that are filled? Are something else to sort out, in their own context, in a discussion held in English among US citizens.

When I cross a border, I do so legally. Or else I expect to deal with the consequences.

I don't have strong opinions on illegal aliens, the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. However, I will say this, I cannot imagine just walking across the border into Mexico and then getting upset that the people of Mexico want to toss me out and deport me back to my own country. I mean, c'mon, you know ? You ARE in someone else's country illegally, don't act like you suddenly have some claim on the place and its resources just because they haven't thrown you out yet, and don't get upset when they threaten to. It's absurd some of the non-sense that passes for reason. And yeah, if I was in Mexico, or Canada, or Switzerland, or where ever illegally and my whole family was there with me, yeah, I'd be upset that they broke my family up if they just deported me, but is that their fault ? I mean really. Illegal aliens are actually BREAKING THE LAW.
