What if welfare payments were not given to illegal aliens.
What if illegal aliens had to pay for their own medical care.
What if housing was not provided for illegal aliens.
What if drivers licenses and identity cards were not available to illegal aliens.
What if jobs were not given to illegal aliens.
What if the laws now on the books concerning entering the United States illegally were actually enforced.
What if each member of Congress who is in favor of allowing illegal immigration were required to take several illegal aliens into their own homes.
Probably wouldn't need that wall. Or it would be up by now.
I have another for your list....What if eVerify was mandated to be used by every single employer?
ReplyDeletehobo...Excellent suggestion. That would surely put a crimp in the hiring practices of many companies.
DeleteTo anyone who doesn't think illegal immigration is a detriment to our country; I'll be glad to send "before and after" pictures of my town, which has been reduced to a microcosm of a certain 3rd World country by illegal immigrants, and over-the-rainbow Liberal politicians.
ReplyDeleteTo those who haven't yet been affected by this influx, take it from me; it IS an invasion, and making believe it isn't won't stop its march to your neighborhood. Stop it now, or pay the price later...
Pete...I believe you when you describe your town. The same thing is happening here as well. Diseases that we haven't seen for decades are now popping up. Neighborhoods that once were decent places to live are now trashed. Minneapolis has become a hotbed for ISIS recruitment. The crime rate is rising. And our clueless politicians keep welcoming the influx of illegals with open arms, with the blessings of a good share of the population. I think it may already be too late.
DeleteWhat if all of those benefits were provided to our veterans instead...

Something needs to change, SJ...Right now those who break the law and enter our borders illegally are being treated better than those citizens who did their duty and served our country well. That is just wrong.
DeleteAmen & Amen.
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Nursejoan...and for the comment.
DeleteThe local/Cdn national news is just now starting to report the same border running here. Personally I think it's been happening a while but was not reported.
DeleteSJ...(I assume this comment is from SJ) I think you are right about it happening but not being reported. I have read that there has been an increase in Canadian border running due to the fact that Trump is working to deport many more than have been deported in the past and he wants to build the wall. The reports I read said that the illegals are afraid of Trump and what he will do, so they continue on to Canada where the penalties are not so harsh. Some of the articles I read were from a couple of years ago and focused on the harsh weather conditions being a factor the illegals hadn't counted on. The newer articles were about their fear of what would happen to them under the Trump administration.
DeleteGorges...I just don't understand why we reward those who are breaking the law the minute they step across the border. Makes no sense at all.
ReplyDeleteVicki, I believe that a fair number of people in power (both parties) are in the business of purposefully creating chaos in our country. The ultimate goal is to burn the system down. The politicians and government agencies are infected with corruption. They want to create a helpless and needy society dependent upon the government. The more dependent the people, the more government control takes over. People will do just about anything when they are desperate and starving. I think we are nearing the point of no return...CW from Iowa
ReplyDeleteCW...I think you are spot on. Just look at the lengths the opposition is going to in order to try to get rid of Trump and regain power. The lies and corruption is astounding and like nothing I have ever seen. So much more is being done to hurt us than to help us. Personally, I want the government out of my life as much as is possible. But sadly there are generations younger than me who want nothing more than to be taken care of. And the college age kids scare me with their microaggressions and safe spaces and free speech zones. The hate and discontent between the races is worse than in the 60's. Add the illegals to the mix and you are absolutely right - we are nearing the point of no return if we haven't reached it already. God help us.
ReplyDeleteI know a Mexican who is a citizen, has been here for forty years, has driver's license, ss card, owns property and two trailers on it. He sees me a senior citizen as rich since I get a government check. He wanted me to show him how to since he does not want to work anymore. I told him he had 7 more years before he could draw ss check. And, that he would have to be disabled to get another check. He said, and I believe him, that he wants to develop his acreage and get paid by government. He does not want to work for other people. He speaks English rather well, however, he does not understand our culture or the rules. There is this myth that we just give money away. I really wish I could work at a job!
ReplyDeleteLinda...I think there are a number of people who see Social Security as a gift and don't understand that those of us who collect SS at retirement have worked and paid into the system our whole lives. I suppose it must be difficult for those of other cultures to understand how things work. Nothing is really free. Somewhere, sometime, somebody always pays.
DeleteIt would sure help balance the budget deficit. It would make it easier to take care of our own people, who have earned some help. It would make it harder for people like Moslems, who's beliefs and lifestyles are utterly incompatible with our own, to come here and infect our society.
ReplyDeleteAll of that would be a good thing, Harry. Sadly, I don't see any of it happening because the left needs to keep adding to their voter base. Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world where the laws were enforced, where the truth was was the norm and where politicians actually gave a rodent's behind about the people they serve. Don't expect to see that in my lifetime.
