And yet you persist in missing the point. Just look at what you said ... "we spend a lot of money.... the billions doled out...." And again we should mention the employers who hire illegals.
For God's sake, man -- think about what you're saying!
Do you really think they'd be coming over in such numbers if Americans weren't offering them money and valuable free stuff?
The illegals are making simple economic decisions. So are Americans. But we're the ones holding the money: it's our own fault.
If you want to deal with illegal immigration, the way to do it is on the demand side, not the supply side.
If you go back and read my posts, I never said employers weren’t to blame. You, otoh, seem to want to blame everyone in this country for their presence.
That is what Obama does so well. Blame everyone else.
I said its’ wrong to hire illegals and then explained the effects of their coming here.
I also said we should control the border.
Where did I lose you? Oh yeah, back when you started defending them and blaming us.
That’s the biggest copout of them all.
