If that were true I'd be fine but they make minimum wage and need government
assistance which guess who pays for?
Not sure what Trump has to do with this discussion other then to bring liberals
together screaming at the moon and crying their eyes out. His opinion doesn't
matter to me.

If they cost me a penny I don't want them here, if they pay their way without
government assistance and they don't work illegally I'm fine with them. Its
really that simple.
I want our budget balanced before we take on more problems and they are not all
plus and no minus.
If we stop spending on the military we wont be safe - not looking to debate
that with you just pointing out that I disagree.
