That was such a poorly written article, no wonder “Staff writer” took credit for it.

Maria, like so many others, risked her life and snuck into the United States with little more than hope. She said, “We want to work, achieve goals, take our children out and help other people. I think we’re doing something right.”

I don't care about their hopes and dreams. They can screw off. I didn't feel like this ten years ago. But a trickle turned into a flood. Illegal immigrants are no longer interesting or cute. They need to be kept out. The USA is not their country but this awful woman acts as if it is. I despise that attitude of entitlement to just come here and live here. The crappy place she was born in has laws and so do we. Unfortunately we have lots of really awful, some evil, leaders who don't enforce our immigration laws

If I was in Mexico, I'd do the same as these people. Chances are you'll get away with it.

That's about the stupidest remark I can see and it is posted all the time. When you say you would do the same you are justifying illegals from Mexico crashing our border

A much better way of looking at is to say-
It is their job to get in here
It is our job to keep them out

I don’t want to read yr other posts. I will never say to anyone that I would sneak into America if I were a Mexican. I want no level of understanding about their plight or how poor they are. All I know is I want to keep out them and all other illegal aliens

My sympathy and understanding for Mexican went out the window ten years ago when this became not immigration but an invasion of indigenous & semi-indigenous Mexicans who are driven north by their cynical Spanish masters

As long as we're handing our freebies, people will come for them. Why is that difficult for you to understand? Oh, I forgot, you didn't read my posts.

If you don't want to read my posts and then you want to argue with me, you are being disingenuous. If you decide to comment on what I said and not take something out of context, I might decide to respond. Otherwise, what's the point of talking to someone who doesn't know what I said?

We had welfare programs expanded since the Great Society of LBJ. We had lots of welfare freebies in the 70’s, 80s but not this huge invasion from Mexico and points South. So build a wall, be strict with employers, welfare “freebies” aren’t the only factor

what a breath of fresh air that article was. After hearing about Seattle wanting to make Thanksgiving a day of mourning.

Well Thursday we will eat... whether we have a mournful meal of a celebratory meal will depend on your politics.

Strange.

It sounds like a good idea to me. I really don’t understand any of it. It is, like you said, insane.

Do you know specifics about what the employees of your family members are experiencing? I’m just curious. The person I am acquainted with has spent over $45K and has been here for 9 years now. Her job is on shaky ground (through no fault of her own). If the job ends, she’ll be sent back. She said she can’t continue to afford to try if that happens—she’ll just have to stay in South Africa.

I HAVE noticed that the news media has dropped the illegal part of “illegal immigrant” and is calling them migrants or immigrants

WHICH THEY ARE NOT!

She’s in the U.S., for nine years, but has spent thousands of dollars and it could all be for naught if her job ends—which is a distinct possibility. She said she would have to return to SA, wait one year, then reapply. If she gets sent back though, she said she will no longer try—she can’t afford to do so any more.
