Illegals are like liberals.
They move away from a place where they aren’t content because of the politics, taxes, employment, schools, lawlessness, quality of life, etc., etc., etc. Take your pick.
They move to a place where they have an opportunity for a better life, where they do not have to deal with the issues that caused them to move in the first place.
But as soon as they take up residence in their new home they immediately start working to change it into a copy of the hell hole or pig sty they just escaped from.
Liberals move to the south from the north to escape the oppressive politics and taxes and immediately begin to complain about the lack of government handouts and services. Then they start to push for more taxes to fund subsidized mass transit, an orchestra, more taxpayer paid services, etc.
Illegals move to the USA and instead of learning what makes America different and successful, adjusting to their new conditions and working to assimilate, they immediately begin to recreate the lawless, failed cultures they left behind.
A lesson they both need to learn is that it isn’t the location that makes a city or a country fail - it is the people who live there.
