For myself, I don't hate anyone. I do, however, disagree with the fact that our leaders allow them to stay. Seemingly they encourage it. Legality has everything to do with it. It is illegal to go into any country w/out going through the proper channels. The fact that business takes advantage of having people in high places to keep them in country, so that their families can get benefits that they don't deserve. I've spent the better part of my adult life paying in to our Social Security system, and I have to fight tooth and nail, over the course of almost two years now, to get benefits that some of these illegals are getting almost as a matter of course. There is a flaw in that, and it is really apparent. How are they more entitled to benefits that I've paid for than I am?
You asked earlier what would happen if they all left tomorrow; my odds of getting my claim approved would increase locally from 1 in 30,000 to more like 1 in 20,000. The situation is really that bad. I live almost dead center of the United States, in Wichita, Kansas, and every grocery store in this city of 300,000+ have all of their signs in English, and Spanish. Why?
As to food on their tables, hey, what about my table? If not for my mom, I'd be sitting at the Public Library having this discussion, as I wouldn't have a home, let alone a table to put food on. I feel the same way about this as I feel about charities that are locally based, but more concerned about feeding children in Africa, than the kids in their own back yard. Why? Take care of our own first, and then start worrying about the rest of the world. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you pretend to take care of somebody else?
