The video is difficult to watch, even for the hardest heart. A dash-cam video published in The Intercept shows a young mother weeping and pleading with a Texas state trooper who has just called the Border Patrol on the father of her 5-month-old daughter.
“No, they are going to take him, sir,” she begs the trooper who pulled her over for a broken taillight, but to no avail. “They are taking everybody.”

Since they opened MMJ up for recreational use Jan 1, and taxed the heck out of it. That is going to be their big income maker. BILLIONS in tax money.
They seem to forget most of what these illegals make goes back to Mexico. They are paid under the table so don’t pay State Income Taxes, just sales taxes, most are on the dole to boot draining the welfare system dry. Along with the effects on the medical system MediCal medicaid program. Schools, crime, any social program.
Boo Hoo, don’t break into other countries!
Today’s Democrat: If not for Mexicans, who will pick our lettuce?
Yesterday’s Democrat: If not for slaves, who will pick our cotton?
Except that we have developed farm machinery which can pick lettuce flawlessly now.
Well, here's why we have laws against illegal immigration: To protect your opportunities.
Most youth live in the fantasy that with the proper piece of paper, you'll have a lovely life. They are excellent at following the program. But guess what? Following the program means you'll have a masters in ethnic studies which is suitable for a cushy job enticing others to sign up for massive debt loads or a barista at Starbucks.
Let's back up 8 summers previously; while you were sitting on your PS/3, an illegal was mowing the lawns in your neighborhood. A few hours each weekend, maybe more during the summer, you could have had the cash flowing in to buy those desired titles and accessories rather than asking Mom (or playing her against Dad whom you see once or twice a month.)
Six summers previously, you could have used those skills you learned mowing lawns and selling yourself to your neighbors for yard work to land a construction job. Sure, might only have been holding signs or pushing a broom, but that's some good money which would have bought a car and paid for the insurance.
Alas, the subcontractor is from Mexico and has no worry about finding enough ‘cousins’ to fill out a work gang, and there's 40 and 50 year olds holding those signs instead of you.
But that's okay, you went to college, and look, they even put your health care and that fantastic computer on your tuition, plus look at that great student housing and easy meal plans that go right on the loan. Just took a signature (and one from both Mom and Dad) and you were on to PAR-TAY! Oh, and a cool degree in ethnic studies.
Meanwhile, the janitorial service the university contracts with is staffed with illegals with an illegal as manager and another as owner. You even attended monthly rallies to demand that they get better wages. ‘course, that could have been your job - not the best job, washing toilets and emptying trash cans, but the illegals are pulling down $50k a year plus benefits as ordained by the university after your protests. The manager's pulling down 100k, and the owner just bought his 12th apartment building with the profits.
Two summers ago, you had your four year degree and even though the tuition for that masters program is really high, it's also top rated in the Huffington Post social conscious ratings, and the academic advisor says that the 75k a year of debt will mean nothing when you land that great job.
You of course get to teach half the classes your professor is supposed to, and grade most of the papers. Man, what idiots this freshmen are, they don't even know not to use gender biased pronouns. Meanwhile, when you pick up the phone to tech services, a guy with a thick accent answers and says that Joe will be right down to change the toner in the laser printer.
Yep, the tech’s got a clean shirt from the contracted company, doesn't say much, but performs his job. He's got to, the smugglers get a quarter of his paycheck, half goes to the understanding landlord from Mexico who says he'll make sure that ICE never knows he's here illegally, and in three years, he'll have made enough to bring his wife here so they can have a baby and live here forever.
The university considers this service to be a bargain; they're only paying $25 an hour for contracted work, far cheaper than the $22 an hour they were paying staff plus taxes plus benefits, and if some chanting students object to the outsourcing, they'll point to the higher wages being paid.
And this summer, in debt enough to pay for a new car and a decent house, with no skills to find a job to put money in your pocket, you'll fill out that barista application and be grateful for your first job at a coffee shop while applications go out to all the big companies sure to hire the top of the class.
Pay’s pretty good, $11.40 an hour plus they'll take 10% of your salary and match it to help pay off your student loan debt. The only part you hate is staying late for the delivery truck, as they never speak English and the last one keep playing all this whiny yelly prayers. Of course you won't say anything, that would be racist. Plus it looks like they pretty much live in that truck too, though you hear that they make some good money, maybe he's supporting his family back home. What a sucker they are, giving away so much of their income, as you're living at home for free with Mom.
This is the pattern that comes from illegal immigration. You, locked out of the most basic steps of the job market and saddled with enough debt that you'll do any face job that the cheap labor express desires just so long as they help service your massive debt. They'll hold your mother and father hostage to that debt as well - you don't have a job? Why, gosh, sure was a nice house your parents had there.
There are no “good” or “safe” neighborhoods in California.
One of the cancers is the unrestricted and encouraged flow of illegal immigrants.
The employers need to be charged and rounded up by ICE. Throw both the illegals and the employers into a cell.
The problem with mechanized fruit picking is it begets “engineered” fruit suitable for that type of harvesting. Usually rack hard and tasteless fruits...
Illegal ID kit- Drive any major thoroughfare and the illegals just walk by pushing the baby carriage.
It appears that every child-bearing female is pregnant and has multiple young Democrats clinging to her skirt.
Free medical care, food, social workers providing advice on everything, and legal services. Welcome to California.
Proof that all sewers lead to California.
Just don’t harsh their buzz man.
There are specific programs for people who want to come here on a temporary, seasonal basis to pick crops. So we can have cheaper farm labor and still crack down on illegal permanent immigration. Two separate issues, though the left doesn’t want people to know that.
That "growth" is more like the "growth" of a balloon when you put more air into it. Those illegals are a net drain on state finances. Without more workers producing, the state tax revenues decrease. So, even though schools get more funds allocated for having more students in the classroom, the source of those funds is shrinking.
Californians tried to avert this situation when they voted for Prop 187. Sadly, the Democrat overlords could not allow this proposition to take effect--they value power above all else, and do not care about the long-term effects on society or the economy as long as they can consolidate and grow their absolute power. So we are now starting to see the outcomes of all of these progressive policies, and it is not pretty.
Worse, when illegals aren't picking for California farmers they settle down off season and live on welfare and food-stamps. So once again the American people are picking up the tab for the effing liberal elite growers. (AND Hollywood types who want cheap grateful nannies and servants( )
This is a rip off system for the American people and Trump's going to put a stop to it.
Why didn’t they take her as well?

Good point. This begs the question, why does California or America’s economy, somehow depend on illegal aliens? How did we get to this point if this is true?
