Absolutely. All federal funds to the states that have these should end immediately.

Guess you're gonna have to school me on Google searches as I can't find the one supporting your "facts".

As I understand it those that cross the border without any papers/ID can not simply be "returned". The country has to agree to taking them back, but without an ID which country do the go back to? It's a problem that not often explained.

I listened to an interview with an immigrant who talked about the message they get in Honduras - bring your child and apply for asylum and you are much more likely to get in and stay while your asylum case is being decided, plus your kid gets a head start on life in a place where there is work. The smuggler charges a lower price for adults with a kid.
That's the message they get.
How much suffering could we stop by correcting the message they receive in their home country? Educate them before they leave of the dangers and the small likelihood that their lives will actually be better. If there really is an interest in alleviating the humanitarian crisis we would be putting resources into preventing them from embarking on a journey fraught with that we describe as "murders, rapes, and assualts", we would be working to stop them from embarking. It's cruel and ultimately a recipe for failure if all we do is put up a barrier and let them suffer the murders, rapes, assualts, and other depredations on the journey north and only then let them figure out that they had been lied to by the trafficers.

Here are just a few samples of facts on the cost of supporting illegals in SoCal. None of these studies talk about the impact these uneducated, poor health, unskilled people put on our schools, police, fire, jails, housing, roads and bridges.

Our life boat is full. 22T in Federal debt., and growing. How many is too many?

Please dont let the facts hurt your feelings.

Please note the Billion dollars cost to taxpayers is 10 years old. I know facts, math, logic and reason can be a stretch for Liberals but do you think, try hard now that maybe this 12 year old study if done today is A) higher cost to taxpayers or B) Lower

Hint. There are more illegals today than 12 years ago and healthcare cost have skyrocketed since 2007.

These studies are old but you get the point. Today its not PC to do these studies and publish results. Fear, hate and racist if you do. But you get the points. Cost are higher today than before as populations have swelled and cost have soared.

If you will take the time to read and look at the math here the numbers are staggering. Now, multiple this buy the 75k per month that we know about crossing our borders illegally, and the many others we dont catch and ask yourself how long can we sustain this invasion?

Hard truths.

We are a great, compassionate people. But we are no good to anyone, including our own families if we kill the goose laying the golden eggs.

We simply cant have an open door and open check book and feed the world. God knows I wish we could but its not feasible.

Please wake up.

You are mistaken, and your tone is a bit harsh.

I was so wrong, this discussion doesn’t belong in PARF at all. PARF is where people relentlessly try to convert the opposition to their point of view citing ‘facts’ while the other side dismisses said facts and it goes on for pages and pages and usually deteriorates to insults. This is nothing like that.

Lol!:)SmileWavy

Amazing you read those and still don't realize exactly why you are wrong.

Could you please point out either why those statistics are wrong, or why they don't support 996AE's position?

The net loss to providing for unskilled, poor health uneducated people is not hard to comprehend.

What is your answer to these facts?

This issue is not that we are not compassionate and dont want to help. But when your lifeboat is full, and it is (22T Fed debt.) tough choices have to be made. How many is too many? I'm still waiting for that LA Liberal Times article you quote.

That's an opinion not supported by any fact presented because there is no fact that supports it. Only US citizens, and conditionally, legal residents are eligible for public assistance. There's a hint in there.

Sure we can. We do it all the time.

Yes, paid for by taxpayers. That's another hint. So is this, there are two sides to a balance sheet.

Me too.

^^^^^ This. Get things under control, if that is even possible. At some point the situation has to change. I have dealt with illegals and it was not good. They took advantage of the U.S. education system for their kids. They took advantage of the medical system when the kids were born and paid for none of it. When they got their 1099 it went in the trash. I did contract work for the same company and I paid my taxes when the time came.
I do not do politics. I do not judge people by the way they vote. I have other priorities but it is time to do something.

I attended a bridal shower yesterday afternoon and discussed embroidery...

See ya in PARF ;)....
