Do you want people to answer your question or not, OP? Is this supposed to be a game of gotcha, or do you actually want answers?

Never. Not once. Many positive experiences with immigrants as teachers, caregivers for my children and aging parents, really lovely people. I pray for all of them during these terrible times.

How many have you taken to live with you in your house, personally?

I took one. I married her.

Well there's one! Only 10+ million illegal aliens to go.

Are you bringing in any of those 10+ million into your house to support, personally?

Who do you think I am, Donald Trump? Admittedly, he married twice as many immigrants as I have and employs hundreds more than I could even dream of doing.

My 90 year old uncle had a live-in caregiver from a South American country. She was a gift from God. Really, really special and caring. She took him places he wanted to go but could not because he was infirm -- to the theater, to the symphony, to restaurants, to parties, to a wedding! She was as wonderful as could be, and she was with him until he died. We could never have cared for him if we had not found her. He wanted to stay in his home, and because of her, he did. I could not be more grateful to her. I don't know where she is now. I don't even know if she was documented. It doesn't matter. She was essential to our family. Why does MAGA want to deport such amazing, needed people?

Strongly in favor of immigration and have had mostly positive experiences, but have had two significant negatives:

1. Car accident caused by immigrants driving very recklessly (passing on the shoulder at speed). No ID, no insurance, reeking of weed.

2. Fully 25% of my kid’s 1st grade class spoke virtually no English. Teacher flatly told us that 80% of her time was occupied by trying to get them up to speed, so she had no time for other kids’ needs.

Many, many more positives than negatives with immigrants, but think we should be honest about the need to dramatically overhaul the system. Unfortunately and as usual, Trump doing it in the very worst way possible.

In the first example, how did you know they were immigrants?

Didn’t speak any English whatsoever. Had to communicate in Spanish.

Note that I have no idea whether they were here legally or not and am not commenting on that. Question was about immigrants generally.

Are those kids US citizens? Speaking Spanish is not illegal

Didn’t mention Spanish—you jumped to conclusions.

As it happens, this was an area with large numbers of temporary immigrant workers. Possible that some of the kids were citizens but not likely given the short duration of the parents’ residency.

DP...the person who included that poster is pushing the false narrative that you're more likely to be murdered by an immigrant than by a US citizen, instead of answering OP's question.

Since you asked...An illegal immigrant ran a stop sign while I was running in a crosswalk, ran me over, and when he was finally caught, he falsified his information to the police before subsequently being released. We later learned that he murdered another man in the grocery store a few days later and that he had already been arrested and served jail time for previous crimes. My children came quite near to losing their mother that day. So yes. I have personally been hurt by an ILLEGAL immigrant.

Ask the Epstein victims. Maxell was on an H-1B. Ask the 911 victims.

You would need ten times as many posters to list all people killed by Americans. We can deport violent illegal criminals. What do we do about violent American men?

+1

In 2024 alone, some 700+ people were murdered by American mass shooters, mostly males.

I have never heard of putting children who don’t speak the language into a regular classroom. Schools have ESL classes.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Pretty much everyone wants violent immigrants deported.
