I expect success on border security, relative to what a Harris administration would have done.

the whole border security thing is an effing joke
the idea that immigrants are causing lots of problems in the U.S. - right - they're eating cats and dogs - sure they are - be real careful - one might try to steal your dog and eat it -

who do you think is cleaning toilets dude ________________?

something close to 100% of U.S. citizens don't wanna do that kinna work and similar very dirty work and don't want their kids to do it either

What % of these illegals here are paying federal income tax? What % of these illegals here will pay for their medical care when I send them a bill? What % of these illegals require far more government services than corresponding legally here people? What % are being housed on our dime? Educated on our dime? Fed on our dime?

If we need workers to clean toilets, then let’s allow enough workers in LEGALLY to clean those toilets. Making an excuse for people who commit the CRIME of cutting the line and entering ILLEGALLY can never be the answer.

Too bad the Democrats can’t understand that simple concept.

So give them work permits to we can tax their earnings. Simple. I thought you would like illegals. I mean, you don't have to pay them a minimum wage or give them family leave. Sounds like your kind of worker...

You miss the main point. They start as criminals. There are those who have applied through the proper channels to work here. The illegals just said, f… them. Why should I care if there is someone in a queue ahead of me? That’s how they start their American journey. Start as a criminal, finish as a criminal.
I like LEGAL immigrants. I have been involved in hiring literally hundreds of them over the course of my career.

I’m all for the work permits you mention. Just not for those here ILLEGALLY.

The driver who habitually speeds through town is also a criminal. Guess who poses a greater danger?

As are most of all the people in the world. Either have laws or don’t. Who said criminals don’t work hard and want a better life for their children?

They are illegals
Not criminals
There is a difference if you can set your hate aside
If I run a stop sign
It's an illegal activity
But
It's not criminal activity

I don't believe any of the anti-immigrant stuff from Soopoo and people like him

I think they believe everything Trump says

and their real fear is that one of these immigrants will steal their beloved dog and eat it

that's what this is really all about_______________________(-:/

I would like to see a survey of illegal immigrants and find out if they were getting news that the border was wide open from rightwing news coming from the US.

That's what Fox and other riightwing news has been blasting out every day for 4 years.

Why wouldn't the border be overflowing. It was an advertisement. "Come here" "It's wide open" "You' will be let go" "Governors will give you further transportation across the US"

It's like the guy on Craigslist who has his address advertised as "Everything must go" And people came and took everything. Except he didn't know anything about it.
