I real life:
Jose Illegal has several fake ID’s and collects government handouts for each of these fake identities.
Joe Legal contributes every week to support his church and pays for his children to receive religious instruction.
Jose Illegal contributes nothing to his church but his family asks for handouts because they are poor.
Jose Illegal has many relatives who are criminals. They steal things that they give or sell cheaply to Joe Illegal.
Joe Illegal takes his children to the emergency room every time they are sick and pays for nothing. If Joe Legal’s children get sick he has to wait 3 to 4 hours to get them to see a doctor even though he pays for treatment.
Joe Illegal’s children get affirmative action admission to college and are catered to and given free tuition, free books, etc.
Joe Legals kids are refused admission to elite colleges and he must pay full, tuition fees etc for his children.
Don’t forget that Jose may live with two or three other families in the same house, all getting government assistance.
I think you have hit on the common thread between illegals and "progressives" and the difference to patriotic Americans.
An American patriot sees this as our country which we are proud to support.
illegals and "progressives" see this as an evil country and strive to take from it as much as it is foolishly willing to give to them.
