[quote=bearishgurl]My point, SK is that many/most? older illegal immigrants initially housed in the US by younger family members were supported by US taxpayers.
It it was known by the family member(s) who brought them over to live with them that they wouldn’t have been eligible for any benefits as an “illegal immigrant” and would not be able to be treated at US hospitals, ask yourself if the older family member would have decided to come to live in the US under those circumstances.
In short, the US laws and lack of immigration enforcement made it easy for illegal immigrants to come over and take advantage of us.[/quote]
Just stop it. You have no f’ing way of knowing what this woman did or didn’t do. And Senator Graham didn’t assume he did either. She’s brown, you assume she must have done something horrible, because you know someone who knows someone who told a story about something. I don’t think sneaking across the border and having children, and raising them to be fine participating members of society is horrible. You apparently do. So you jump to every possible bad conclusion without actually knowing anything. Neither legal nor illegal immigration is ruining this country. Giant corporations that don’t pay a living wage are. Wall Street, that sucks more than a trillion dollars a year out of the economy while providing absolutely nothing, is. Every brown person isn’t stealing your milk money.
