@BrandNewMan First point: Many of those people are not "illegals" They are homeless and damaged Americans. Many Veterans of military service the system already failed.
Second Point. No matter where they came from, they are still human beings, desperate enough to leave their country to look for a safe life for themselves and their families.
I try to be a humanitarian. So I will work on forgiving you for your completely self centred lack of compassion. I know where you got the idea it was OK to express opinions like that..😷
