One thing no one mentions is the the amount of people that are on snap and Medicaid has doubled over the past 20 years.

Increasing as the number of immigrants has increased as well.




We went from around 40 million on Medicaid in 2004 to now having 80 million on Medicaid.

No those are the ones driving around drunk without insurance or living 8 deep in some rental house or using someone else’s social security number.

Pick your own damn strawberries.


You think you have some moral high ground here.


Even if only 5% of them commit some crime worthy enough to be deported according to you, congrats, you just raised the level of crime in the country.

Hopefully your grandkids aren't victims to that 5% extra like plenty of others have been.

Ah yes, only illegals can show up and pass drug screens


Eh. Most of the lower level laborers doing grunt work have substance issues in this country.

Don’t down play finding good hard legal workers. It’s a lot harder than you’re admitting. The illegal Mexicans have been carrying us for a long time.

It’s going to take time to re-motivate the labor workers in this country . But hey, it has to start somewhere. It’s not gonna be easy.

Or the truck drivers who don’t speak or read English, ever since Obama changed the rules.

If we tested higher level workers more, we'd find a lot of them like substances too

i'm not a strawberry farmer. and i dont think for a second i have any moral high ground any more than you have. i am just saying the actual solution is complicated and the solution of "round up the metal stud framers" is just red meat for the people who can't or won't understand that

you’re getting downvoted but you are absolutely right. The scare tactic was “illegals are committing violent crimes” and now the talking point has changed to “they are criminals just because they are here illegally”

not that surprising just par for the course. This is all bread and circuses



You fricking moron. This was at the 2024 rnc
