The majority of illegal immigrants are Christians coming from countries with higher religiosity than the US.
It seems, then, they have not learned the Ten Commandments, such as "Thou shalt not steal."

They are Christians breaking a commandment is a bit of a long way from they are going to outlaw Christianity.

They came into my neighborhood and took over. Stealing, lying, threatening, trespassing. Torture and killing my cats. They ruined their own country and will do the same to yours. They are like a plague. You'll see.

I'm not calling anybody racist "for questioning" anything. I'm calling people racist for claiming that immigration "ruins schools", "restricts freedoms", "endangers children", and -especially- "marginalizes culture".

On the subject of marginalizing cultures, what culture is being marginalized? The culture of somebody who'd post that? I want his culture marginalized. I want it diluted. I want it relegated to the appendix of a dusty history book. It adds nothing.

If I have a choice between letting my daughter grow up next to and experience the culture of a white guy who'd post that vs the culture of a family that walked here from El Salvador to escape the cartels or even just to find work, my choice is we're learning Spanish. Heck, I'd even buy a truck to loan to the white guy so he'd have an easier time moving far enough away that he won't pollute my kid with his useless garbage culture.

“The culture of somebody who’d post that”, you haven’t actually explained what’s wrong with it.

If the majority of people would do the following in their own countries, they could stay there in peace and safety:

2 Chronicles 7:14-15 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.

I have Mexican-origin relatives who are legal citizens. They supported themselves when they got here. They did not expect any hand-outs.

2 Thessalonians 3:7-8 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us; we were not idle when we were with you, 8 and we did not eat anyone’s bread without paying for it; but with toil and labor we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you.

2 Thessalonians 3:9-11 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: Anyone unwilling to work should not eat. 11 For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

They went remote for one day. One day.

What ruins schools more? Using them as a temporary weather shelter (as is done all throughout tornado alley) or calling in a bomb threat?

I notice your propaganda only complained about one of those.

From my experience, the people who want hand outs or feel entitled are the Americans who were born here. Immigrants, legal or otherwise, understand the value of hard work. There's a reason American employers have sought them over the entire history of our country.

The bomb threat in this case only came after the school was already ruined for that day.

The illegal ones were preferred because they could be paid under minimum wage.
