one a couple more disturbing points (I’m sure there are many more-)

in some counties, illegals make up over 65% of the prison population and at an estimated $145 per day per inmate, this amounts to a ton of money spent on housing them in prison- (many seniors and disabled get only $15 a day or so)

Many illegals and legal immigrants soak our government getting every ‘free’ benefit they can and it amounts to a whopping $45,000 per year or more- Many legal seniors and disabled only get minimum which is around $8,000 per year

And an estimated 65+% of immigrants are on welfare- so the lie that we need illegals because they ‘do the work noone else will, is just that, a lie- the majority of them end up on welfare- and keep having babies to get more welfare money-

Oh, I see it daily! Townhouses on my block are Sec8.All filled with Hispanics and all with great cars, Not a junker in a parking lot. SUV's, Hummers even! How do they get new cars while on government aid??
All with bunches of kids, all with Mexican music blaring.Most, I would assume, illegal.
Oh, how I hope for ICE raids, soon.

Ask any “Progressive” and he/she/it will tell you illegal aliens are a net profit to us.

I get why the Dems want them here — more votes that they can bribe with free stuff. But the Chamber of Commerce / GOP argument that the illegals supply free cheap labor seems like a bust. Why the Hell does the GOP want them here again?

[[How do they get new cars while on government aid??]]

They very7 likely charge to the max- and don’t bother paying them off- boansk are afraid to say no because it wouldn’t be politically proper- just like obama and ilk forced banks to lend to KNOWN HIGH RISK people (most likely a lot of minorities as well as white folks)

plus, as in my previous post- many immigrants on welfare get every last ‘freebie’ they can from government and get around $45,000 per year (Note, that’s not all money- some are services which they don’t have to pay for)

I am beyond pissed off about this!

If, indeed, the courts have ruled that US citizens have to support illegal aliens, the USA is doomed!

There should be ONLY ONE law that applies: if a person is in the USA illegally, NO BENEFITS!

I’ll support ANY law that causes illegal aliens to self-deport!

I’ll support ANY law that causes illegal aliens to be forcibly removed!

They get paid cash and it’s cheap, so yes it’s free undocumented money on top of everything else...

Illegals are costing this country between $400 BILLION DOLLARS and $600 BILLION DOLLARS per year

A couple of years' of that, and we could build a wall Sir Edmund Hillary couldn't scale. And build it along the Canuckistan border as well.

You're probably right about the charging. Multiple identities/identification helps with that-as does constant moving with no address change. I'm still getting mail for people who moved out YEARS ago. Rarely have I seen any tow truck repos around. Then too, how many cars are driven over the border never to be seen again?
Cultural invasion. Makes me so mad to even LOOK at them!

With no path to citizenship, no birthright citizenship and no freebies, would they still come? We all know the answer.

Hello.....

We knew that.

Is this just really occurring to people now?

Cut the freebies and the illegal immigration will dry up on its own.

President Trump,

We need that EO on birthright citizenship ASAP.

He may be waiting for Justice Ginsburg to vacate her seat so he can appoint an Originalist as it will end up before the SCOTUS.
