I second that. And I would just like to add one thought (Not in contrast to yours, but something I thought of by your statement, so I decided to share it with you). I don’t care if the illegals pay taxes or not, they deserve none of the benefits of citizenship. If people don’t come in by the front door, by invitation, they’re still intruders.
Whether or not the do get forced to pay taxes during their occupation, that doesn’t stop people from going to the E.R. for a headache, etc. The mentality that goes with being a true American, isn’t just a matter of paying taxes. And paying taxes (especially forcibly taken, at that), isn’t patriotic. I’m sick of illegals robbing Americans of benefits in ways true Americans would never use them. There are lots of people with dignity, that even if because of desperation might apply for say food stamps, that would use the bare minimum to get by, and after all other options, exhausted. Then there’s the people (while born in the U.S., aren’t really “American” in the sense of what America was founded upon) who will fill their carts with taxpayer funded steak and lobster.
It’s time we ended the Socialist “ahnd out’ state and people have to rely on charity if they can’t provide for themselves. If there is to be law and order, people can’t simply think that whatever they decide they want is theirs, nether by a “flash mobbery” nor government brokered robbery.
Absolutely!! Just like the occupant in the White House, they so are not Americans, born here or not.
My parents who came here LEGALLY in the 1950s, after waiting years and years to be admitted, and only needing to come because FDR sold them up the river, were and continue to be greater Americans than all of those riff-raff you mentioned. And they’ve never taken a dime from the social programs (well, aside from the SS that they paid into all of their lives), much less demanded “benefits” and “entitlements.”
It’s just sickening.
