You do know that legal immigrants send money to families too, right? Heck, I send money to my nieces and nephews on a regular basis too.
That was you causing all that economic disaster. I'll bet you're even bilingual!

As the person who made the statement that crime and poverty comes from illegals.

Is it offensive to say it if it is the truth ?.Is it wrong for the residents of a country to decide who and what is beneficial for their lives ?.Mexico does it. mexico has some draconian laws dealing with Illegals.

How do residents do this? Don't governments make those laws? Or are you going to go and personally build that wall? Or maybe you're one of those who like to say to anyone who isn't white "if you don't like it here you can leave" or "let me pack your bag for you".

So Latinos are the real problem?
Yes. On this or a different thread on the same topic, one person used the word "Mexicans" which at least is an honest admission of what they really mean when they say "illegals" and "immigrants." But there's no such thing as white privilege. Right.

Something tells me you are concentrating on peripheral issues.

I don't really see why Trump is making such a big deal about immigration right now. According to Pew research between 2005-2010 1.4 million illegal immigrants returned to Mexico. 90% of them voluntarily. Over the past 5 years illegal immigrants within the U.S. has remained stable at 11.3 million.

The Great Wall of America would be kind of like TSA. Both are expensive. Both are justified by, "we need it for security." Both are cheaper and simpler than doing real security. And both are all about racial profiling.

And the unemployment rate has been reduced to 5.3%

Is anyone up for even more adventures in the government's cooking of the books??

Do you have a job? Seems like that is all that matters.

The unemployment rate has not declined because of the illegals leaving.

Do have any idea that there is a massive employment structure in America which pays workers cash off the books and under the table?

They can't even put an accurate figure on it, but one thing is for sure and that it also makes the unemployment rate inaccurate. More people work than is recorded.

Just as a real straight question, do you honestly and seriously believe that every politician on "your side" is 100% honest and above board, and every politician on "the other side" is 100% corrupt and dishonest?
