[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like why do you all care so much? What affect will it have on your daily life? Is it the thought that somewhere in America a family without the proper paperwork and time in bureaucratic limbo might be having a happier and higher quality of life? Does that keep you awake at night? That someone might be getting something for free? Why doesn’t it bother you that rich Americans get unearned benefits at your expense? Your economic unease is due to money grubbing top .01% of Americans, not Hispanics fleeing countries torn apart by America’s insatiable appetite for illegal narcotics.[/quote]

Why? Because the GOP propaganda machine pumps out misinformation about unauthorized immigrants 24x7 - misinformation that fuels the fear and anger of their gullible conservative base. Conveniently distracting them from their rape of the middle & working classes.

Wow.  Just wow.  I guess the statistic of 11 million illegal aliens in this country is a “made-up GOP statistic?”  I guess the murder of Kate Steinle, Ronald deSilva, Drew Rosenberg, and countless others is just “misinformation?”  I guess the numerous images of illegal aliens scaling our walls are simply “propaganda?"
Why do we care so much?  For one, we have laws.  Laws that are being ignored by the illegal aliens entering this country.  Laws being ignored by the Democrats welcoming them in.  And, laws being ignored by the Democratic politicians giving them sanctuary.  
I care because our fiscal resources are limited.  Every illegal alien who enters our country diverts resources from citizens who live here - in schools, in hospitals, and yes, in federal funding (these illegal alien children are eligible for free lunches AND a free education - almost always at a cost higher than that of citizens).  
I care because some of these entering illegally are coming to do harm to our citizens.  Some are gang members who have actually murdered and raped others.  Some are drug runners who flood our country with illegal drugs.  
So, yeah, I care.  Illegal immigration lowers the quality of life for many here.  
The question is why do you NOT care?  Why do you NOT care about our laws and the well-being and safety of our citizens?  What other laws do you believe are “optional?” [/quote]

11M people here without papers IS a made-up statistic the GOP uses frequently.  Nobody knows the real number.   For every Kate Steinle out there, [b]there are many more illegal aliens who are victims of crime, not the perpetrators.[/b] They are targeted by immigrants and US citizens because they are illegal and won’t report.  Sanctuary city policies allow these people to work with police to prevent and solve crime.  These workers are filling jobs that allow the country to grow.  Without them the economic growth would come to a screeching halt.

its too bad you have a severely misinformed opinion on the subject.  This is what happens when a “news” network becomes state propaganda. I urge you to research the issue from sources outside your news bubble.  The issue is far more complex than your post indicates. [/quote]

Yeah - that 11M number is probably low.  It is not a made up stat by the GOP.  It was used repeatedly by the Obama admin, and that is one reason I am betting that number is quite a bit higher. 
And, the bolded is yet another argument for stronger enforcement of our borders.  But, you can’t see that. 
What, exactly, is “misinformed” about my post?  What are the inaccuracies?  
There is nothing inherently “complex” about enforcing our borders.  [/quote]
