KIRBSTER269 Thanks for sharing your story some people have it harder than others which stinks. My point of view is that people come to the U.S. for a better life even if it means risking it all. Their homeland may be out of control and the only way is living here illegally. But I think we both agree most of the jobs illegals do citizens wouldn't want.
"This country was built on illegals" is laughably false. It was built on immigration. I don't think that's been refuted, but then again, one side spends all of their time conflating illegal immigrants with legal immigrants, and then calling the other side racist. So, cogent arguments aren't really expected.
DJ_Mondo I'm not against people coming in and better themselves. Take for instant the lady that got deported in Arizona. She comes over here illegally has 2 children here, been here over 20 years never attempts to become a citizen, now she's mad because she's being deported. How many years have we been paying for those kids? and believe me there are 1000's of unheard cases like this. I work with a Latino gal 28 years old, has 5 kids.(my company has one of the best insurances I have ever seen) I ask if she carries the insurance, she said oh no, I have the obamacare. I never have a bill, its all paid for. and cover her kids. Now given her the benefit of the doubt. I said well you are a single parent. She said no, she's married. I said Is your husband on this insurance? No because he doesn't have papers. So Yeah your right, better themselves, while we pay the bill. Oh and by the way she's 28 and her oldest child is 14. do the math. but yeah that helps the economy
