Many of these people had no intention of normalizing their status; while we were sold the BS that immigrants would “save Social Security”, it has become abundantly clear that many have no interest in contributing towards anything but remittances south of the border. Instead of them subsidizing American retirees, WE (including American retirees) are subsidizing THEM. ObamaCare (which WAS offered to illegals) was funded in part by cuts to Medicare; it couldn’t have been more clear than that.
Well put.
