I think this person correctly assessed where his bread is buttered.

There's your difference

I'm married to a legal immigrant. She believes America is very generous with quotas and allowances for LEGAL immigration. She feels illegals are criminals, stealing from America, stealing her tax money, destroying society, and are being allowed in to purposely create political division.

If they did a poll of LEGAL mexican immigrants, I bet 90% would favor Trump.

There are really good folks from Mexico and it’s descendants here. Even Trump said so, lots of times. I was born and raised with Hispanics/Latinos who’ve been here for generations. Folks from all over the southern hemisphere. But they were all here legal and are as American as me. Most are good people not looking for trouble or want to become a burden. Most Americans agree, we have to do this, we have to secure our borders and with new limits on the numbers and exactly who we’re bringing in legally across the board. Lots of policy changes.

That’s it right there. And they contribute nothing back and are bankrupting us as a nation on many fronts overwhelming our welfare and healthcare resources while spitting out babies and driving our population up exponentionally faster causing housing issues and possibly a shortage of food in the future. And to top it off many join the hostile activist organizations funded by Soros and La Raza and spit in our faces thinking they are falsely entitled to “everything” being emboldened by a lawless president who’s playing for the other team that only wants them for their vote and locust like ability to use up our resources and Cloward-Piven us into failure. No more. We need to build that damn wall and deport the illegals so Americans who pay taxes have jobs.

I have in-laws who are Filipinos. One of them was an illegal for 5 years.

The difference was that she made steps eventually to become an American citizen from illegal alien status. Now how is this possible?

Simple. She made sure she paid her taxes via ITIN so when she eventually saw an immigration attorney, she was showing she was not a burden to the system and the REAL reason why she had to do all of this is that she was TIRED of hiding in plain sight. In addition, she HAD to do it is because if something happened to her relatives in the Philippines, she cannot say “i cannot come back because I have no US passport”.

Did you notice the big round of applause she got from the other people there?

At one point near the end a number of them clapped when she made her point.

If we compare this to shopping:

Legal shoppers pay for their goods.
Illegal shoppers (shoplifters) steal goods.

Stealing goods causes prices to go up for legal shoppers to help cover the loss due to theft.

Anti-Trump Pollster’s ‘Legs Are Shaking’ After Learning This About Trump And His Supporters

After re-evaluating his position, Luntz suggested the Republican Party should do the same.

B. Christopher Agee August 26, 2015 at 4:40pm

Already under heat for reportedly stacking a post-debate focus group with individuals critical of the GOP presidential front-runner, Fox News pollster Frank Luntz was recently forced to admit that his predictions for Donald Trump’s candidacy have been wrong.

Focus group participants largely trashed Trump’s debate performance, contrasting the gains he saw in subsequent national polls. Based on the anti-Trump rhetoric expressed by his hand-picked group, Luntz felt comfortable declaring Trump’s debate performance the “destruction” of his White House bid.

There you go. As if American Hispanics want endless lawless violent open borders. That’s what the wealthy ruling class GOP, their greedy big biz associates who are banking rolling their campaigns, and Democrats want.

Profits and power regardless of consequences describes them perfectly.

This is exactly what America has gotten from them for decades.

If it took me ten years to do what some other guy accomplishes in a few days, it would anger me too.
