[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump has his base riled up over illegal immigration.

I do think people should come into America legally, but I also can understand the desperation of people who simply want a better life for themselves and their families, just like America’s early settlers. I cannot imagine living in a place where the future holds nothing but poverty and the possibility of being murdered, which is what some of the immigrants from south of the border face in their home countries. I think we should help these people find a way for themselves here in America, show them how they can legally become a citizen without punishing them and separating families.

With that said, I’d like to know how illegal immigrants have personally impacted your life, whether good or bad. I live in the south and as far as I know, have not personally been affected by the illegal immigrants who I’m sure probably live here.

I hear all this hate against this group of people, they have been persecuted endlessly by Trump’s base, but aside from a sensational murder case or two, I don’t see what all the hype is about. Illegal immigrants seem to live a fairly underground life. They find a way to take care of themselves. [b]And they must be doing so responsibly for the most part since they are supposedly a large group (millions) but you honestly never hear much about anything bad they’ve done once they’re in America. They actually seem to be law abiding inhabitants for the most part.[/b]

What has an illegal immigrant, regardless of where they’re from, done to impact your life?[/quote]

One of the illegal immigrants killed my best friend's daughter, who was a best friend of my kid. Impacted my friend and my kid for the rest of their life. My friend's daughter, senior in HS, was driving with her friend, stopped at the red light, and illegal immigrant from Mexico, who was drunk, failed to stop on the red light, hit them from the back at the high speed, both girls died at the scene.

I worked at the state government agency for several years, and load of illegal immigrants who we required to serve, doubled my workload. without any additional pay.

The fact that a lot of immigrants from my country overstayed their legitimately issued visa had an impact on my parents who wanted to visit me and was denied tourist visa. My parents been in US several times, always returned in time, never had intent to stay in US (they still live in their country). They were denied visa multiple times.

What you posted in your last paragraph is absolutely false and contradictory to the facts.

I don't hate them, as I don't hate any person. But the impact of their presence in this country is huge.
