They also don't get ticketed if they are caught speeding.
And the big kicker, they get fake social security cards, and then get a refund.

They shouldn't be able to get medical care that they don't pay for...but neither should anybody else, in my opinion.
As for public schools...only property owners pay for that through property tax. So I'm already paying for lots of "legal" U.S. citizens kids to go to school anyway.
And yes...they DO get a ticket if they get pulled over for speeding. I don't know where you are getting that idea, but I guarantee you that the fucking asshole cops everywhere I've ever lived ain't gonna let nobody go.
I don't know how many "illegal" Mexicans get "fake" social security cards and get a "refund".
Last I heard there are like 17 million of them that the U.S. govt. THINKS live in the U.S.
Maybe a tiny percentage of them get social security cards that are "fake"? I bet a lot more "legal" U.S. citizens scam fake social security cards...
I do know this for a fact...I grew up in Florida. My family was one of the biggest citrus harvesters in the world during the 1970's and 1980's.
If it weren't for "illegal" Mexicans working those groves...your orange juice would be so expensive you couldn't drink it.
Then I moved to Miami and saw the same thing with the bean crop down in Homestead.
Yeah...shut off the border. And then watch our food prices rise astronomically.
The poor people in this country who can barely afford to eat now will suffer even more.
Mexican immigrants have freely walked across that border and done the hard labor that most folks do NOT want to do since the very beginning of the United States (and of course they freely walked across BEFORE the U.S. existed as well)
This is the U.S. govt. using nationalistic pride and subtle racism to further THEIR agenda. (failed war on drugs and a further erosion of our freedom).
We are already isolated. We are a country that REFUSES to be multi-lingual. Go to any other country...the citizens speak several languages and have since birth.
When I travel to Europe, the Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica, South America....I feel like the stupidest person there.
Everyone else is speaking English, German, Dutch, French, etc.
It's embarrassing that I can't.
So let's further isolate ourselves. Let's drive food prices up!
And for God's sake let's keep the "War On Drugs" in full swing to use as an excuse to shut ourselves off from our neighbors, search citizens on airplanes (war on terror my ass), and keep that multi-billion dollar prison industry stocked with "customers".
