Maybe if I visited the places you mentioned I would have a different outlook. Mybe if you visited some of the places I mentioned earlier you might have a different outlook. The US Government is the enabler in all of this. Anytime you offer food, clothing, medicine and education free to anyone that shows up you are going to create a socialist environment. But not everyone shows up for those entitlements. Most would rather be productive, proud and take care of their families. It sounds like you have a bad situation over there. Houstons economy differs from yours quite a bit. There is a lot of throw away income here by a large portion of the population wich in turn does provide jobs that many will not do. IMHO if an illegal is here working, paying bills and being productive and not involved with crime I have no problem with that. The criminals are another story, we deport them and they keep coming back. But I also see just as many criminals or more that were born right here living on Uncle Sams teat. Direct your anger where it needs to go, toward the enablers.
Here's what you said in the same post: "IMHO if an illegal is here working, paying bills and being productive and not involved with crime I have no problem with that."
I'm sorry, but people like you who are soft on illegal aliens, are the enablers because you condone, thereby encouraging, the illegal aliens. You are just as much a part of the problem as the federal government.
The simple fact that the person is here illegally, means he's currently involved in several crimes.
