How Illegal Immigrants Say They Plan to Support Themselves in America
The Daily Signal ^ | August 13, 2021 | Kaylee Greenlee, the Daily Caller

McALLEN, Texas—In interviews last weekend, some illegal immigrants said they plan on working when they settle in the interior of the United States. Others said they want to study here first so they can support their families.

A migrant from Honduras told The Daily Caller News Foundation that he worked dishwashing and other restaurant jobs in Guatemala before crossing through Mexico and eventually entering the U.S. unlawfully near La Joya, Texas. He and another Honduran man said last Saturday night that they plan to study so they can better support themselves and their families once they’re settled in the U.S.

“You need to suffer for it. You need to sweat for it,” a man from Ecuador said shortly after illegally entering the U.S. near Hidalgo Point of Entry in southern Texas late Saturday night. “You need to start from zero to show that the situation costs.”

A Honduran, Javier, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that he plans to “work now with the help of God and give the best to my baby and wife.” He said he worked carpentry jobs in Guatemala and Mexico to fund his trip north to the U.S.

“I know how to do everything,” a woman from El Salvador said, adding that she expects to have more opportunities now that she’s in the U.S., wanting to seek asylum through the legal process while working to support herself.

Hopeful news, but still illegal and still potentially taking jobs away from legal immigrants and Americans.

I know that a lot of immigrants that I’ve talked to are more patriotic and love America than some natives. But you’re right ,illegal is illegal.

The big joke on the Dems is going to be if these people start voting for the more conservative candidates who are not Dems 20 or 30 years from now.

their very first act in the US was a criminal act, breaking and entering. I’m sure most of them will end up on the welfare rolls in one form or another, others will be selling drugs on street corners.

They will drive down wages of legitimate workers because they will not be paying into the system and will be working under the table. If they get ill they will go to emergency rooms and not pay. If/when they become citizens they will be very likely to vote and those votes will go overwhelmingly to Democrat candidates. Class is dismissed.

Washing dishes or studying is of everything. Not one has said they’d be a nuclear scientist. They want to work at the bottom and perhaps own a restaurant someday. Sounds doable. I wonder how many of the 58 percent of the white community wash dishes at a restaurant.
