This. One can disagree with illegal immigration (I do) but they aren’t coming here to be welfare queens even though that seems like the easy thing to attack. I’ve never seen a lazy couch potato illegal Latino. It disingenuous to try and paint that as the driving force for the migration. It’s about jobs and safety, and once they get here they bust their arse out there in the heat doing shite I’d rather not do. I’m fine with the measures to fix the problems, but let’s be realistic about who it is we’re talking about.

No offense Dave, but you need to get out of Monroe more often. Go to Miami, Chicago, or most of Cali or south Texas. First gen illegals are FAR more likely to be on social programs than average Americans. Illegal immigrants cost the US approx 125 billion a year, thats net of "taxes" they pay.
