[quote=SK in CV][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.[/quote]Re: the bolded portion of your post, I have no idea WTF you’re talking about. I’m not jumping to ANY conclusions. I’ve lived, breathed and worked in the situation I’m describing here for 30+ years.
I agree with the italicized portions of your post.
Consider that on the very few occasions on this board that I have suggested to a prospective buyer-poster a beautiful, large SFR listing for $200K to 600K LESS than what the same listing would cost in the Piggs’ seemingly “most popular” areas of the county (but located in South County SD and usually situated on a much bigger lot), the response is always, “You couldn’t pay me to live down there for any reason,” or similar.
SK, you’re a SD native. Put your thinking cap on and tell us why you think this is so?
And, btw, all “Hispanics” are not “brown.” Only a portion of them are … as are a portion of “Caucasian” people.
