Those people are coming here fleeing life threatening conditions.
Most are coming here for free stuff, because they know we’ll pay their way.
Really?
I lived on the border for 30+ years. Have you?
Those I know wanted better schooling and a better future for their children.
. . . all states overrun with illegals.
How do you tell the illegals from the legals?
By the color of their skin?
Actually by the "color" of their phony IDs 🤣🤣
That’s a whole other issue, SS cards and Drivers license can be had on the cheap. The DMV in a town I lived in was selling them, hubby and wife team, they got busted doing it.

Look, I've also lived and worked with immigrants all my life. My grandparents had a chicken farm, back in days, and they mostly hired "them". Also, I've worked in the hotel/catering industry for decades. Those businesses also used to hire "them" a lot. In my experience they're, in general, the hardest working, kindest hearted, most community oriented and law-abiding people know.
And, stop complain about "them". If you have a problem with all the "free stuff" they're getting draining the public coffers, blame the people in charge of those coffers.
Anyway, you can't fool me, you're just a softy, who already knows this. That's why you've rented to "them".

These are honest statements.
I just want to point out -- it does not mean we support illegal border crossings.

It’s hard for me to reconcile how you can co-sign the illegal invaders knowing that the cities are now giving them taxpayer money which was once used to help poor and minority citizens.
What do you tell those poor black families in Chicago who aren’t being helped anymore because the money is going to illegals instead?

Stating what is.
Is not indorsing anything.

I wish some people would stop acting like the people who want more secure borders are racists that don't want anybody coming into the country. Or that we have no empathy for those desperate and in real need of better opportunities.
Fact is with open borders there are more and easier opportunities for the riff raff to come in. Sad that I feel I need to be clear and explain what I mean by riff raff. #ty people. Nothing to do with their skin color or anything like that.
I always like to ask if these people leave their doors unlocked at night. Or their cars when parked out in town.
I wonder how they feel about squatters too.

I don't.
Any more than I tell the poor white folk.
Do you have statistics on your claim?

"For them to be sympathetic to their needs, saying it's a humanitarian issue crisis when Black people have had a humanitarian crisis for housing, employment and everything else," community organizer Jessica Jackson said. "How do we get pushed to the back?"
Those demonstrating Wednesday said the city has over-extended itself and should be putting the tens of millions of dollars earmarked for migrants into Chicago's most vulnerable neighborhoods.
"The South Side has been under-resourced, under-funded for years, for decades," Jackson said. "We have schools that need to be reopened." abc7chicago.com...
Tons of articles just like this one.
So, what do you tell those citizens?
