To deny a person's right to come work & live freely in the United States is Un-American. Every person should have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Could you honestly look into the face of a child who wants to be an American and say no?
Yes. Without losing a moment's sleep.
Do you know how many people in the Philippines and India would love to come to the U.S.? The problem is that they can't just walk over the border.
Why do Hispanics from Mexico and Central America receive that benefit?
We have a legal immigration procedure. If you want to immigrate, use it.
Note that if I just walked across the border into Mexico and started working, they would throw me in jail.
Apparently it's a one-way street from Mexico to the U.S.
Also, its not in the interest of many politicians to legalize illegals or prevent illegals because many,
the majority, do pay taxes. A huge of amount of money from illegals is supporting the failing social security system.
As for those failing hospitals & schools in California, it is a general problem which is actually desperately held up by tax paying illegals without access to most benefits. The problem with California is that it is a very socialist state without a balanced budget or understanding of how to pay for all its programs.
You clearly do not understand the economics on the border states from illegal immigration.
