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.

They all get on welfare the minute they cross the border. They don’t get legally married so that the wife can keep collecting. They have many children because we pay for it. The “husband” works of sells drugs or both.
Everything they get is subsidized including rent and mortgage. They get free college. They put some of our money away in savings and then use it to build nice new houses in Mexico. They then go back and live rich there because they really hate it here and want to go back home to live. Two people I know are doing this right now-building a cheap, nice new house in Mexico.
We are all being used. They think if we are stupid enough to provide this for them, they will take advantage of it.

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

Many current unskilled or low skilled jobs are filled by minorities now. If employers see people willing to compete for jobs at even lower wages we are back to the late 1800s when the newly arrived Irish had fistfights with Germans and Italians at major cities' warehouses and docks.

Maybe new arrivals can learn to code. Or design malware protection software that recognizes and stops unwanted redirects. Or, welfare for a few years.

Don’t know why they’d need coyotes when you can cross over most anywhere by yourself. McAllen, where the article originated, is a major crossing. Bring a copy of your neighbor’s cousin’s hairdresser’s dogwalker’s birth certificate and your in, no problemo. They’ve been doing that forever. Or hop over a single strand of barbed wire, turn yourself in to the BP and they’ll let you in free of charge if you pinky swear to show up for your hearing.

The most classy way of crossing over is to hitch a ride on a Mexican army vehicle and they’ll drive you across the Donna bridge into TX.

Don’t give me this kind of story......the noble illegals

Right now!...Right now they are seeding our towns with diseased people who are spreading it to us!
They already have freedoms that have been robbed from us!
They can come and go .......they can take beds in hospitals a d get free medical care.....they will get free benefits......
While our kids are masked in school they are free to enter restaurants and hotels unmasked while diseased!

I’m sick of it!

My sister-in-law, about fifteen years ago, heard several Texas Hispanics with new born babies, bragging loudly in English, how they were “Taking back Texas, one baby at a time!”

In Maine the majority of Somalians have remained on welfare after years of getting dropped here by the Catholic Charites criminal organization.

No, I don’t think it. I said the joke would be on the Dems if that ever came to pass. Talk about a plan backfiring.

The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.

The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

[[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]]

‘Some’ as in hardly any! Nearly 75% of illegals here are on Government handouts, others come here and commit crimes over and over, many that come here have stolen id’s, stolen social security numbers, and cause massive financial losses to those who’s identities they stole.

Illegals do NOT contribute to our economic well being as a nation, that is a flat out lie. They cost our country try nearly $1 trillion dollars a year when all the costs of their illegal activities are added up, both direct costs and Indirect. In some prisons I. The US, nearly 70% of the inmates are illegals, at a cost of $145 per day per inmate on average, others costing much much more because they have diseases which are very expensive to treat.

Liberal rags go out and find a few folks who,actually do want to work, but the fact is 3/4 of illegals will not work, and will get handouts fro government some to the tune e of $45,000 per year as they soak our country for all It’s worth. The ,iberal rags also overlook the fact that the illegals that do ‘want to work don’t give a crap about all Foreigners who are trying to come here Legally, through the process set up for Foreigners to come here to become true legal citizens.

The illegals breaking our laws thumb their noses at our laws because they don’t want to wait the amount of time it takes to come here legally. They creel they are special and shouldn’t be required to obey the laws of the land they wish to enter

Re: "I know that a lot of immigrants that I've talked to are more patriotic and love America than some natives."

That must explain why 70%-75% of new immigrant citizens vote for the Democratic Party?

By the way, Asian Indians, who are the best educated and most affluent immigrant group in the USA, voted 80% to REELECT Barack Obama. 77% voted for Hillary Clinton 2016. I do not have numbers for 2020.

Bottom Line...

Thanks to 35 years of massive LEGAL immigration, the GOP cannot win the White House without unique candidates like Donald Trump, and the GOP will need to be very lucky to get a tiny majority in the House or in the Senate.

See my post above. 3/4 of them come here just to screw our country out of our money

They mean in addition to welfare, using their other identities.

There’s a huge difference between immigrants and illegals.

I am all for immigrants, when they do it legally.

The illegal invaders need to be deported ASAP and apply for legal entry like millions before them have done.
