[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, if you desperately want to help her then take her in and take care of her yourself.  [/quote]

I don’t have the space or resources to provide 24/7 care[/quote]

OP, and I say this gently -- neither does America.[/quote]

BINGO. We don’t have enough to even look after American citizens who fought for our country! Or those elderly folks who worked hard, always obeyed our laws and paid US income taxes their whole lives here. The idea of us supporting someone who came here illegally a decade ago and now want expensive nursing home care makes me furious.[/quote]

I can understand the argument that the US should perhaps take care of the US citizens first, but you lose all credibility and sympathy when you insenuate that undocumented immigrants don’t work hard or obeyed our laws. Other than overstaying her visa or even crossing the border illegally, undocumented immigrants take jobs that no one else wants to take. Pay into the system that will never give anything back to them. Are scared of their own shadow in fear of being deported. Do you ever ask yourself why anyone would want to live like this if things at home are just hunky dory? Or do you think they would be starving or dead if they stayed? I refuse to look down on anyone who was simply trying to survive because both you and I would do the same damn thing if we had to. So get off your Fox News box and try to look at everyone as human beings.[/quote]

The person you’re responding to implied illegal immigrants didn’t always obey the law and didn’t pay taxes. That’s the truth, it’s not a Fox News falsehood. You’re whole response is just unnecessary.[/quote]

It is a thousand percent Fox News propaganda. Illegal immigrants are the current boogyman responsible for everything that’s wrong with the country currently but in a lot of the ways they are the backbone of this economy and break the law less on average that the citizens. You just want to get informed. It’s easier to blame them for your problems. [/quote]

The amount of money they steal/ exploit with using our human resource safety nets and especially English 2nd language in our declining schools is completely documented.
They take waaay more than they contribute. Fact.[/quote]

Care to support that fact with a source it came from?[/quote]
