Are you writing the headlines these days?

[Gaffer]

Even before I retired 12 years ago, I can remember actually seeing illegals’ baby mamas pushing their baby buggies to the local UMC food pantry....a secretary I knew volunteered there quite a bit and she’d mentioned the significant portion of them being ‘illegals’ who spoke no English.

I’m wondering now if the ‘increase’ in demand is actually the seniors they’re mentioning so much as opposed to our new Biden-citizens.

All that need be done is to build a wall, enforce the border, and expel every last illegal.

Many illegals suck up welfare.

Many illegal take jobs that would be filled by Americans on welfare.

Housing would become cheaper, as would insurance and so many things.

The budget would balance.
