They do not belong in this country at all, but no one has the balls to deport the bastards.
I’ve said it MANY times: put a $1000 bounty on EVERY Illegal found by U.S. Citizens (they collect the reward), and ship the criminal invaders back where they came from...we’d STILL be Billions ahead on handout expenditures, education expenditures, etc.
I, too, was looking for the missing word, ILLEGAL. Frankly, I will be just as happy if they don’t apply for any aid paid for by my tax dollars, and decide it will be a better idea to go home to the countries of their citizenship.
That’s one of the problems with being a criminal.
