Mexicans are not the big problem. The largest number of illegals are the Chinese, divided between visa overstayers, people who arrive in shipping containers, and people being smuggled over our southern border after having come through Cuba and other leftist places that Mexico has been trying to block.

Cuba is a big facilitator of human trafficking. But of course, Barry doesn’t care.

Rubio had the best answer: there are three separate problems. One is the borders and people who come or are smuggled in illegally. Another is the people we bring in legally, who do not meet our needs but happen to have relatives here. And the third is people who have gotten here illegally (or legally but have overstayed their visas) but have lived here for years, own businesses, etc.

Rubio said these things have to be sorted out, and I think he’s right. Trump may make people feel good by blaming all of our ills on illegal Mexican yard guys or laborers, but that’s not where the problem lies. And his “solution” is unworkable anyway, even if it makes people feel good, and will not solve future problems any more than the Reagan amnesty did.

One good thing Rubio said is that we shouldn’t accept people just because they have family here, but they should be accepted based on what the US needs (laborers? tech people? scientists? or whatever is needed).

We have to develop an immigration policy that works for the US, and then clear up the errors of the past couple of decades. Also...no more Muslims, please. We’d be better off with 100 Mexicans for every Muslim that Barry is bringing in.

“Mexicans are not the big problem. The largest number of illegals are the Chinese, ...”

I’m not hearing ‘press 2 for Mandarin’, or even 3.

Apparently they are at least smart enough to learn English, if what you are saying is true. But having just escaped Mexifornia, the Chinese didn’t ruin that state.

LOL, so if you were a Chinese translator, I assume you would be worried the Mexican illegals were crowding out Chinese illegals.

The idea that we have more Chinese illegals than Mexican illegals is absurd, preposterous and something everyone with a brain knows is false.

Yeah, cause every house I see under construction is swarming with...Chinese.

You can't be series.
