“Why would a country that doesn’t have enough funds to cover its most basic responsibilities take on the obligation for health care and education for those who came here illegally?”
Because it maintains the flow of dollars to a crappy educational system;
Because it maintains an ever increasing flow of new members to unions;
Because it justifies a massive beauracracy to stay afloat (welfare, WIC, social services, etc.). Got to keep all of those worthless gubmint employees on the payroll;
Because it is a breeding ground for new generations of the ignorant, dependent, welfare class of Democratic voters;
Because it is bad for America, and fundamentally transforms the greatest, most prosperous, independent, innovative and dynamic society in the history of human civilization into another failed, third world state.
Because it makes it much easier to control the masses and enslave a majority of humanity into a peasant class and thus it is much easier for the upper most echelon of the elitists to control us for the greater good of humanity. /s
Because....Oh well, I think you get my point, yes?
