Promises of free.... free educate, free college, free food stamps, free health care, and unlimited ability to send funds “home” - removing $Billions from the US Economy...
Near non-existent deportation
And the list goes on... Illegals who come here can get a job that pays in less than 1 week, more than most would make in a month in their home country. Add to it the no-cost health care (no cost to them...), and all the other social programs being thrown at them, and one can hardly blame illegals for coming this way.
But illegal is illegal - and our own corrupt system is not an excuse for this behavior. We have developed our own permanent under-class of leeches that SHOULD be doing the jobs the illegals do. But we pay them to sit at home on their butts watching their 200 channels of Big-screen, HD-cable TV, smoking their blunts, and drinking their booze (and more).
And even more frustrating - we cut benefits to those who have voluntarily put their lives, bodies, and families on the line to protect this nation serving in the military - we put them on never-ending wait lists for health care, and we take their guns away from them... all so these illegals and other public leeches can have their free ride.
We truly are living in a nation turned upside down.
Not to mention lowering medicare benefits to senior Americans who worked all their lives at low-paying jobs. This includes millions of women who worked in offices for less pay than men, often half the amount.
