You can't have a welfare state unless you have closed borders.Deerdude said:
Close and personal story. My store managers husband was born in Fredericksburg to illegal parents. He graduated HS there, they married and had kids.
A few years later he gets a letter to self deport and the family does. They could not make ends meet in Mexico so wife and kids returned to states and he remained in Mx. started working there and made double digits dollars weekly.
After a short while he decided to join his family in states and crossed. Was caught and forcibly deported. This happened twice, all while trying to navigate the legalization process.
He stayed in Mx and has since been working on legalization but now he is serving basically a sentence for the two illegal entries and deportations. I think is some like 5 years for each count. He has served those and is now ready for legalization, but is stuck in waiting mode. Because of Bidens catastrophes and backlogs at the border.
I don't agree with birthright but also feel that if we financing their education that there should be a pathway for legalization.
You only get one bleeding heart cause to finance on the backs of the productive American worker.
Pick one.
