Replaced by illegal immigrants who don’t show up in your stats.

And yet the illegals children are paid for by us fools. They are irresponsible and what they have here is so much better than the s-holes they came from.
Before they supplemented our working class; now they supplement our welfare class...and American taxpayers are footing the bill. American taxpayers have just adopted millions of Mexican children, and they don’t even know it.
