They are indeed hard workers, but they also work hard to ignore basic laws, and language.
I live in South Florida, I deal with this on a constant basis. I'm a good person, hard working, so what do I get to ignore, can I refuse to get my DL renewed?
Can I cross the border in Canada and demand healthcare because I'm a hard working, good American, will they open there arms and give me a college tuition, or let me hide from law enforcement?
TheDBCooperforum a country in traction make this Mexico
It's a culture shock for us we don't understand a third world element
I agree.
LOL!!!! Reminds me of Donna Summer song,🎵 *_"They work hard for the ignorance, so hard for the ignorance! He works hard for the ignorant for his family to thumb their nose!_*🎵
As if there's no US citizens who are hard workers?
Again...Here for over 17 years and cannot speak English.....They want for us to learn to talk to them
Larissa Martinez...Were you calling me a racist because I am upset that these people come to this country and care not to learn to speak the language???? They learn to work the entitlement programs. they lear the money.
Came across a guy today that owns a co that pours slabs. When I asked for his workers SS # as to be sure that all were legal none had them. When I asked for his tax ID # ; come to find out the Co was not a true LLC and he did not have a SS #.
I now have to check the next bid in line. ...This guy made a lot more work for me and others on this job quoit. And because of my lost time I am racist.
I dropped a dime (now days a quarter) on the Co to ICE and if that makes me a racist I enjoy being one....
Maybe they can take him in and have him help build the wall
BTW Larissa you are NOT Mexican_American...you are a US citizen of Mexican descent. People from Mexico are Mexican_American because Mexico is in the Americas ...there are over 50 countries in the Americans and that each and every citizen of those countries can say that they are Americans
You are right, there are many Hispanics who agree with our president. Including me.
Whether you like it or not. He's OUR PRESIDENT !!!!!!! (That includes you to)
Yup. Smdh
If they want to live here, respect our laws, learn our language, become an American, represent as an American, apply to be citizen. Most of them just want to milk our systems and ignore all the consequences and now crying about it. Is this how you raise your kids?
The teach their children to disrespect the laws. Because you work hard go to school and don't sell drugs doesn't give you a free pass to America. leave the country and get to the back of the line.
Why do you assume that all immigrants sell drugs?
@@fatimamelo3615why wouldn't they? 😂
@@jakemealer9545 why would they?
@@jonathanduran1738 because it clearly benefits them.
@@jakemealer9545 Not every illegal immigrant sells drugs and that's a fact you choose to ignore. I 100% agree they come here legally instead of immigrating illegally and I'm sure you also think that.
Illegal is illegal no matter which way you look at it. I've lived in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico and did it all legally, so I see no reason why they should get away with doing it illegally.
you did it because you had the resources to do it they might not have it
Imagine you got cartels behind your arse who got in cahoots with local corrupt authorities, inadequate source of income, very meagre quality of life. The only way you in that case is the the Illegal Way. You lived legally? Good for you since you got the resources that these migrants don't even have a chance of access for.
I deduce that you've got no say on issues like these because you are clearly not a migrant like those who are piling up behind borders risking being trafficked, abused or killed by Cartels / Arrested by Border Patrol and You are not like any of them lol. I would personally sponsor the citizenship of a migrant definitely, rather talking shit here like you.
@@erikf7560 then they shouldn't do it should they?
@@erikf7560then they should not come in the first place
@@erikf7560then they need to come back when they do, that simple. They are not entitled to live here just because the country they come from is close by!
I don't care how good of people they are nor how hard working they are, they are breaking the law. What is not said is that even though they are hard working, chances are that they are still on welfare, food stamps, and as many other taxpayer supported social services while claiming they don't know where the father is! ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL come back LEGALLY and be welcome.
Gerald Sandoval I'm mean trump didn't pay taxes for some years and thats illegal
Lewis C. There's many Americans who did this as well. If the father and mother aren't married the mother can apply for many benefits for the children and the father can have a job making a lot of money and they're still getting government benefits.
Actually. Undocumented immigrants can't apply for any government benefits. The way they could potentially get aid is of they have citizen children. And rhe aid would be exclusive to the child or pregnant mother. And rhe I nly reason they get into such position. Is Becsuse the only work they are able to get. Is the work that a lot of Americans feel as though they're too good for. Its such hypocrisy
They say. send them packing. When these are the people that pick your food, prepare it, build your homes, tend your children, clean you houses, work you factories, tend you're picture perfect gardens. And they're not stealing American jobs. That's not how the economy works. Because the truth is. A citizen will always outcompete an undocumented immigrant. They're just doing the jobs that a lot of Americans are too entitled to take.
First, they can't apply for any subsidiaries.
Second, no one want to do the jobs that undocumented do.
Third and most important, you can't physically understand how hard is to get a Green Card and I am talking as an Italian I can't imagine what a Mexican can experience.
I wouldn't come as an illegal because I live in Europe but put yourself in theit shoes for a moment.
You can't win the DV lottery, you have to get a sponsor to the Visa and no one will sponsor you if you are not a high level skilled person.
Now calculate that they and their family live in a Mafia controlled state where the killing rate is absurd and the poverty rate is even worse.
My brother is an excellent mechanic. Then he went to jail because he broke the law. He lost the right to live at home and didn't see his kids until he got out.. The whole family was affected because of his decision to break the law. However he is an excellent mechanic.
Nala Wyans who give a shit there are alot of good mechanic there American citizens
Can he change my starter without stealing my car
It doesn't matter what field of work one is excellent in, the law is the law.
Why do we hear I've been here for 20years, or ,35 years. So why did they not get their citizenship?
I dont know
I’m sure he has thought about it but it is a long process. Citizenship is not given depending on how long you’ve lived in the US. You can only get it after you’ve been a permanent resident for 5 years: through marriage; your child (when he/she turns 21 and can sponsor you even if you are out of status); BUT you have to have come to the US legally; through the dv lottery (if you are in the US, you have to be legal to apply); through work (you have to be legal for your job to sponsor you and it’s only for jobs in demand and your employer should prove that he has not found an American citizen to do the job he is sponsoring you for).
These are the parents’ options. they might have looked into it but they do not qualify. It’s not that they don’t want to be citizens. They are just limited.
It cost a fortune
For Lawyers 😢
@@JudithTchinda1 Marrying an American does not give you citizenship!
@@stevozrepto5558 Funny how they come up with the money to pay the cartels!!!
Don’t you love how they say that they haven’t done anything wrong. That the haven’t committed any crimes. Well yes they have. They crossed the broader illegally. That’s a crime. They have been criminals since they have been here.
Ice agents will still find you in the united states.
Do you play Roblox
I hate how this guy genralizes all Latin Americans by saying in Spanish “don’t be scared, show you’re faces” like we’re all illegal like him or have the same culture he does.
so I was born and raised in the US, if I jump the border and start living in Mexico, I guess I have the right to live there, and not be deported. I also want voting rights in the Mexican presidential elections.
Joel Martin pretty sure they can't vote in the us presidential elections so you can't do that in Mexico
Yup.
Don't forget your free health care, it's a human right
@@_agua_de_horchata__4350 they can and do vote.
Jo Co no they don’t vote undocumented immigrants can’t vote cuz ik n if they can then how come trump president of illegals can vote huh?
When you came here you knew you were breaking the law and taking a risk . The reason you feel you have rights is because of the lenghth of time you've been here and haven't been busted YET . Yes you have rights as a human being meaning if or when you're caught and jailed to be sent back the jail needs to take care of you like feed you , give you a bed to sleep on , and etc.etc.etc. Other than that you've been gambling as to when you'll be caught . I 'm sorry but you don't have rights if you're here illegally .You might think you should BUT you don't . You might want to have rights BUT you don't .
Look at them eating American food. Sitting on American chairs. Having an American roof over their heads and wanting the American dream? Oh these people really know how to make the blood boil. Get them out!
Your Actions Have Consequences too bad that they probably have more ambition than you and work harder.
Everything was made in China
I wouldn't be proud calling that shit American food
Americans have dreams to...
“Ambition than you and work harder”, like gaining benefits from tax payers and not paying taxes?
Yeah but you will take benefits from the country either paying for your food or your rent or your health care or welfare... So give us a break and saying that you contributed to the country when all you do basically is take... This is the reason why most you got to go
These sort of videos appeal to our emotions and pull on our heartstrings for sure, but the fact remains the law has been set to give equality to all and if they cheat the system that would create imbalance and inequality that would undermine the system. What am I talking about? They certainly don't pay income taxes, yet enjoy what benefits income taxes bring about, such as free education for their children. How is it fair that they don't have to give up 1/3 of their incomes every year like everyone else? That would make the accumulation of wealth so much easier. And many of them send that money back to Mexico further undermining the economic system.
Eugene. L hypocrite
Eugene. L You don't know much, do you? As in these are U.S. tax payers and pay for social security along with medicare but rarely claim the benefits they paid for. If they become citizens they are only able to claim benefits paid in from that day forward. Some of their wages go back into our economy because they spend here in order to live. Some send anything they don't spend to family members in their home country. Many are migrant farm workers who expose themselves to dangerous chemicals in every kind of weather. You can thank them for being a lot of what goes into putting food on your table.
Why don’t they talk about the EBT benefits they receive for the kids or the free education and tax evasion not to mention driving without a license
Who's heartstrings? Not mine!
@@leealexander3507 dream on, piggie. The USA isnt dependant on a bunch of migrant tomato pickers.
Cheaters, liars, lawbreakers, they're a perfect reflection of the place they come from, where laws are not enforced and most citizens ignore them completely. They don't deserve respect, they will be worthy of respect when they show regard for laws and admit their lawbreaking, cheating, lying ways.
Well. They shouldn’t be in the country to begin with. They broke the law by entering the country illegally and is demanding rights/respect.
They have to go back
I came here legally
@@irmabrown8257me too it was easy
Don't break the law by crossing illegally. Sorry.
I was just arrested for driving drunk, but I think they will drop the charges because I am a nice guy. I also have kids at home so if they follow through that just means they hate children.....oh and they're racist.
They mostly come at night because this stupid example is relevant to something about people's entire lives
Are you comparing your crime with theirs? You could have hurt another person driving drunk, they were not hurting anybody by being here.
@@lorestrahan2207they are hurting every American
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States - at the federal, state, and local levels - was at least $150.7 billion.
FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal aliens - just under $32 billion - from the gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion.
In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion. In just 5 years, the cost to Americans has increased by nearly $35 billion.
Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens).
Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.
Evidence shows that tax payments by illegal aliens cover only around a sixth of the costs they create at all levels in this country.
A large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.
Many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.
The problem with illegal immigration is that they are taking jobs away from Americans. Even Americans living in the states need to feed their kids too. They too need to make a living.
AJ+ is trying to say that we should feel sorry for these people but it doesn't make sense. My mom arrived here from the Philippines legally. Why can't they do the same? Why do other people from other countries have to go through the long and tedious process of getting a visa while they don't? That's not fair.
Mexicans are lucky that America is right next to them. They're able to get away with being undocumented for far too long whereas people from other countries have to work hard for their documents.
Very True. My former Sister in Law waited 6 or 7 years for Her Visa. She came over here LEGALLY from El Salvador.
Butterfly_Crescent92 Go to school Muslims are doctors and people still hate on them. They came here legally !!!
No American wants to work in the fields picking fruits and vegetables, and if one does the wage has to be high. That then will lead to more expensive food all across the U.S.
Andrew Salazar those types of jobs are already being automated. We don’t need illegals to do those jobs
Yes, they do take jobs: those that able-bodied black,white,brown Won't work "because of issues keepin us back" excuses..and even if there weren't illegals they still won't..very sad...
Boo-hoo!!! You knew the risks when you snuck over here!!! You wanna do the right thing? Stand in line with the people trying to do the right thing by becoming citizens. Key word... CITIZEN!!!
U need money to do that. And obviously they don't have it. Immigration is biased.
@@driftking4 they seem to be pretty proud of themselves for being lawbreakers. It's cost money to cross the border illegally. They could have spent that money on an immigration lawyer, so excuses are out the window.
@@angelabolin1730 it cost much more money to become a citizen legally. It cost 10s of thousands of dollars. Definitely not even in the same ballpark.

I don't understand. If they've lost their documents, can't they get new ones?
3506Dodge but then they don't have documents and BAM deported and torn away from you family
You loose them your out.just like loosing your passport.you loose it your stuck.
They all "LOSE" their documents right before they cross the border ILLEGALLY.
If they blatantly enter another country they will not show respect because they want to leach on the tax payers dollars and crowd the emergency rooms at hospital etc. Etc. All for free???No ways should the hardworking people support such a system. Why do you think they run away from the country they were living in? For a better life style?, which every kid without food in the world would want and deserve!
They feel so ENTITLED!!
Anto Anto That’s the best word for these illegals. The old lady says Trump changed the laws. No, he’s enforcing them. You have no rights here. Be ready to pack.

Why are you blaming them, there're doing that there allowed to do. They need to stop calling them illegal but making them legal at the same time this makes no since
@@francineharris9473 They are ILLEGAL!!!
"The law is the law" I keep reading that everywhere but I am not sure these people give a deep thought into what laws are and what is the purpose of them... Laws also prohibited alcohol consumption and for women to vote, but I don't see those laws having a place in the U.S. anymore... in other countries right now, laws allow presidents to stay in power indefinitely, or gays to be incarcerated... Laws and policies in a democracy are suppose to give order to a society based on its reality, aiming to maximise social benefit. A law that is tearing American families and communities apart by deporting people that have been living and working in U.S. soil for over 20 years is a law that needs to be revised... "They shouldn't have come in the first place" some will say, well... they did, that is the reality, and they have been part of U.S. society for decades now. Any good policy maker knows that the first step to making successful policies is to know where are you standing and work from there. Solutions are not black and white, they are nuanced and complex, specially for this kind of issues...
Prohibition and suffrage laws were wrong because they limited the personal and political freedoms of American citizens. This family and other illegal immigrants are not citizens and have broken our laws by crossing the border. There is a difference.
Pity, you're response was pathetic and weak.
But am I wrong?
I wouldn't say you are wrong but I think your missed my point. The comparison I was making was more about how laws change and evolve and less about how these laws relate to immigration laws.
That being said, saying that the laws were wrong because they limited personal freedoms is a restrictive way of framing it... Going back to one of my points, I would say that prohibition and suffrage laws were eventually considered to be wrong because they didn't reflect the reality of the situation at the time and were not maximising social benefit for American citizens... The question we need to ask is if it makes sense to deport millions of people that are integrated into American society, families and economy. Is doing this really helping American citizens?.
I am keeping this quite short because I don't want to write an essay here, but I am not even mentioning a lot of considerations or intended and unintended consequences of treating the issue in such "black and white" manner. It is all about cost/benefit and trying to achieve win-win situations.
MARTIN - The only part of what you've said that is worth anything is your acknowledgment that THE LAWS WERE CHANGED about prohibition, suffrage and many other issues. NO (FEDERAL) LAWS HAVE CHANGED regarding entrance into and the ability to work in the United States. The idea that because people have lived here for years they have: 1) integrated - is FALSE; did you notice both parents spoke in Spanish? Did you notice both parents think THEY have a right to change the law because they are not one of the OTHER types of criminals? Did you notice their goal is not for their children to BE American but to HAVE the American dream! If they had truly integrated they would have returned to their countries and entered legally out of respect; 2) benefited the U.S. - is FALSE; just because they work multiple jobs doesn't make them special; there are MANY Americans who do the same and actually have less opportunity now because of all the jobs earmarked for Hispanics through the "bilingual" requirement alone. Further, behaving in a divisive manner doesn't benefit ANY society; 3) economic pillars - is FALSE; they are not economic pillars to the U.S. but to the countries they come from and can send remittance to.
If Trump will return his focus to jobs creation and heavier deportation of illegals, we'll quickly see whether the U.S. can survive without the likes of Jorge and Imelda!
They should refuse to live in fear........back in Mexico.
I agree don't hide show ice who you are and learn the language
Yes, show I’ve who they are do they can get sent back to Mexico and take thier kids with them
Don't bother learning, they need deportation
If I rob a bank and I bring my kids with me because I cant afford a babysitter then I should be able to keep the money and not be punished. Because I was poor and seeking financial asylum.
As human being you have right, but not citizenship right. Your citizenship right is where you born.
That's why they keep popping out baby after baby so they can get an increase on that check, right.
The only check they get is the check they earned, with their sweat and blood, I myself don't anybody else that would be willing to do those jobs,,,,Would You?
@@mariamorales-sb7vw I agree with you!
Iam sure after this video was uploaded ICE came looking for them.Make America great again.Since Trump became president all the Mexicans left my town and I haven't seen any of them around..THANK YOU DONALD TRUMP!!!!
Racist
These folks & their sad stories are their problems. They want to silently come & over throw our country, when they should have stayed home & overthrown their government. Then on top of the problems at the Border, we have agents that are not honest & are on the take from who knows. It seems the Latinos community has no morals or integrity. They don't want to come to America & be Americans, they just want to take from America & make their little Latino World in America. When they get here, the get signed up for every freebie know to man, because the DemonRATS want their votes. The DemonRATS are aiding & abetting criminals (if you cross the line illegally, you are a criminal) & this must stop.
17 yrs and NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH?
I understand wanting a better life and I understand trying to do anything to make your family have everything they need and have a happy life. But I say if you are the role model for them then you should not show them that it is ok to break the law to get everything for them and he broke the law by coming illegaly and I am sure that he really doesn't pay taxes because without a social security card you can't work legally. So I am sure that is another crime they don't know he is committing and not pitching in his part like American citizens do
Yes and they are telling their kids to remain silent If stoped that it is their right. You are illegal you have no rights. Why can't they get that. Come in legally. You have brought this on yourself. 17 yrs? come on you weren't trying very hard. Don't have kids until you are legal.I had neighbors who had kids so they could become citizens. The husband kept geting deported but managed to come back several times . so do it right the 1st time.
Unless your Native American ( the real AMERICANS) you came from somewhere else.....
It is that third world mentality that gets me.
It's hilarious to see all of the people arguing for others to have the right to break the law! As soon as someone breaks into their home, they call the police! 🤣😂🤣
I guess they like living like this. 17 years living like this. WHY DIDN'T YOU ALL FIX YOUR PAPERS HAVING THREE JOBS AND NOT ONE TIME OR BREATH OF LIFE AND SAID HAY FAMILY LETS GO HIRE AN ATTORNEY TO GET OUR CITIZEN SHIP. DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?!. BY KNOWING THIS AND SPEAK FLUENT. ENGLISHY YOUR CITIZEN SHIP WAS GRANTED TO THIS FAMILY.
go home to Mexico then apply to come to my home America legally.
Dont you think that if it was that simple everyone would do it?

@@hailees8464 These people cut the line because they aren't able to wait years to win an immigration lottery when they are suffering.

julio iglesias sure they do. when someone else is paying their food bill. food stamps prob $300-$400a month. im disabled and cant get help with food. i eat ramen noodles and pop tarts while they eat steak.
One thing is obvious they are lawbreakers and pretty proud of themselves.
17 years and it's never occurred to you to work towards becoming legal and learning English ....probably good hard working people . When Americans break the law we go to jail ! We are separated from our loved ones also . Why does these people think they are privileged when it comes to breaking the law ??
We will respect you with a going away party. With plenty of ice
You have rights in your country.
Thanks for the information so I can report you to ICE. Dear Mr. President please help the US citizen .
The President should not deport decent, hard-working, law-abiding families.
I get your point but by being here they break the law every day, so you contradicted yourself there.
They are NOT law-abiding. They are ILLEGAL and criminals. Every day they are here they're breaking the law.
only the illegal ones should get their asses deported
Our laws and system has been exploited long enough
If theyve been living there for so many years the first thing should be securing your citizenship especially if youve been there 5 years or more
Literally, none of their arguments to stay undocumented make sense. And the govt is doing nothing to incentivize them to get out of that status
Ok...answer me this....
You have no intention of leaving the US....and you've had all these years to gain citizenship status....so you dont have these worries...so tell me why you failed to do the right thing...
I cannot feel sorry for you when you are doing nothing to be legally here...hard work and a clean record is not enough...sorry
You think it is easy to enter the states? Only the wealthy can enter.
U cannot enter a country illegally n work illegaly live in this country illegally nsay u have rights ,u Know Damm well that u had broken the law when enter illegally or to any by chance everybody , EVERY nation including ur COUNTRY if u enter illegaly u subject urself u become law breaker consider urself to be deported anytime it don't matter how long u live here if u not trying to legalize urself to any Country in the world u are subject to be deported if caught!! U live here work n earned but don't pay taxes so what gives u that right to claim u have rights,u seem arrogant, Every citizens that live here pay taxes to contribute ur part ,u don't! So u have no right Gorda!!!
They are hard workers and not on government assistance. There should be a pathway to citizenship. Perhaps fining them: barring them from welfare benefits for 10 years; and doing community service. But, in these circumstances where they have been here many years working and no criminal record, there should be a pathway to citizenship. But from now on, the immigration laws must be enforced and a wall should be built.
"i broke the law to get here but i demand to have rights" yeah! Try that in most countries!
proud of breaking the law of the land while no one should be above the law?
THE AMERICAN DREAM BELONGS TO US, NOT THIEVES USING OUR COUNTRY AND REAPING OUR BENEFITS!!!
The Americans have rights to. And you people invading our country don’t things that is wrong to the United States laws. We have laws I hate to say just like you have laws where you live.
If you don’t have citizenship or some other form of permission you shouldn’t be here!
How do they get these homes and are illeigal when citizens can't get homes and driving.
Go Donald Trump. Chuck em out. This is just arrogance. Nothing else. They drive expensive vehicles and live a good life & are illegal immigrants!!
17 years is just ridiculous. Why don't they work save their money and build something back home....Honestly this belies belief.
How did he get a license, and the jobs...wile Americans live in tents and can find work cuz its taken from this....what a country
Been here long enough ... get out
What is with the dramatic sad music to try and make us have sympathy for these criminals? It didn't work. I hate them. Go back.
You need to fear, you are not a U S A CITIZEN
U get a visiting visa n decided to stay that in itself is a crime
then why have you not tryed to get your papers why.
I’m sure they have thought about it but it is a long process. The way they came in the country doesn’t help them either. Unfortunately, Citizenship is not given depending on how long you’ve lived in the US. You can only get it after you’ve been a permanent resident for 5 years: through marriage; your child (when he/she turns 21 and can sponsor you even if you are out of status); BUT you have to have come to the US legally; through the dv lottery (if you are in the US, you have to be legal to apply); through work (you have to be legal for your job to sponsor you and it’s only for jobs in demand and your employer should prove that he has not found an American citizen to do the job he is sponsoring you for).
These are the parents’ options. they might have looked into it but they do not qualify. It’s not that they don’t want to be citizens. They are just limited.
How can you get a good education (at taxpaye expense). What else ha e you stolen in the last 17 years
You broke the law. Your children will follow your example. You are here illegally. Who's social security are they working under? How did he get a driver's license, without being detected.
You can be an angel on earth but in the U.S you are living and working illegally!!!
Jeremiah 5:19 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's.
Why would anyone who entered a country illegally need to worry about deportation. Does he realize that if I entered Mexico illegally they would deport me too. If I entered any country illegally why would I feel entitled to citizenship? Oh that's right if a homeless American entered Mexico illegally then Mexico would say it's ok. Right?
Listen, you guys gonna be OK I’m 1000% sure in the United States nobody put a gun behind this guys back
Thank You President Trump
Thank you ICE! Thank you for doing your job now that you are allowed to do it.
she said i have the right to remain silent,thats an american rule,you are illegal you have no rights here.
How do they drive? How do you get a license as an illegal immigrant?
The degrees they get should be for our children and their children. Americans first.
It's your fault you shouldn't bring your kids without coming here they go. What makes you think you have a right to be here
Why is he driving a car without a driver licences....bad enough he came here illegal,then when he gets stopped by cops, they all gonna get deported......this is what gets americans mad.....bc we as tax payers have to foot the bill .....for illegal entry
We all have stories of be hard working and trying to get ahead in life, I am a retired grandmother who started working at 16, but had to go back to work to make ends meet, so does my story give me a right to break laws and get a free pass? If United States citizens go to another country and break their law they will lock us up faster then you can say coming into the USA with out papers is illegal!! We did not bring you here by force, it was a decision illegals made knowing if the got caught you will be sent back. So now it I time to pay the price for breaking the law!
Hope these guys pay their taxes. it is so unfair for law abiding, tax paying citizens
How come no one does a documentry about how much public assistance these people receive
At the start of 2023, the net cost of illegal immigration for the United States - at the federal, state, and local levels - was at least $150.7 billion.
FAIR arrived at this number by subtracting the tax revenue paid by illegal aliens - just under $32 billion - from the gross negative economic impact of illegal immigration, $182 billion.
In 2017, the estimated net cost of illegal migration was approximately $116 billion. In just 5 years, the cost to Americans has increased by nearly $35 billion.
Illegal immigration costs each American taxpayer $1,156 per year ($957 after factoring in taxes paid by illegal aliens).
Each illegal alien or U.S.-born child of illegal aliens costs the U.S. $8,776 annually.
Evidence shows that tax payments by illegal aliens cover only around a sixth of the costs they create at all levels in this country.
A large percentage of illegal aliens who work in the underground economy frequently avoid paying any income tax at all.
Many illegal aliens actually receive a net cash profit through refundable tax credit programs.
They will be gone soon enough. Thank god for Trump
Trump has said what kind of people he wants coming here. These are not those kind of people. Sad.
That irritates me. More than 10 yrs here in the US and can't speak English. That only goes to show you don't want to assimilate to the American culture and language.
"As human beings we deserve respect."
Why?? You don't respect us or our laws. GFY.
If you believe that documents provided by a government, language, race, or geography makes someone an american and gives you as a human being GOD GIVEN RIGHTS which are INALIENABLE you are gravely mistaken.
Did you respect our law? What respect are you talking about? What rights are you talking about?
It's heart breaking my parent's came here to the .U.S.like ..this it was hard for them at first not knowing the language but with time they got legalized It was back then when Ronald Reagan was president they got there Permision to work ..and Permanente Residence & then Citizenship I was the one that had to push them & to learn english not perfection there fore it's not there first language but learned
They shouldn't be afraid they are not going to JAIL OR PRISON!! THEY ARE JUST GOING HOME!! THE SOONER THE BETTER!! THEY CAN FIX THEIR OWN COUNTRY!! BY COMPLAINING TO THEIR CORRUPT POLITICIANS!!
You are teaching your children that breaking the laws of our country is good and that the are entitled to American freedoms as criminals. Why is it so difficult for you to comply with our laws and become true citizens of the USA?
whatever,,,,,,what they did was illegal to begin with .....I have no sympathy for them
You been here 17 years why aren’t you legal? If we went to your country I would be in jail I just can’t make myself comfortable there. UNEXCEPTIONABLE
Wants to live the American dream and doesn't even speak English!
Tell that shit to your own president!
It is hard to have sympathy as a non-american person who lived and studied in the US for 5 years, speak English with no accent, truly immersed in the American culture(listening to country music ect.), extremly loyal to the American flag and American Ideals. I could not stay and I left, I would always want to come back but I love the USA too much to disrespect the laws to do so illegally.
Not everyone can learn to speak another language easily everyone isn’t you it is easier for a child who speak Spanish to learn English but harder for adults to learn a new language especially if your living mainly and working a round people who speak the same language as you most of those undocumented people only work for Latinos that are legal under the table so it’s hard for them to learn English js
Face the fact it don't matter you still here in the US illegal 💯
So because they are nice people,we should forget about the laws and not to respect them,right?
So the Law doesn't apply to nice people.
