I wish it were true that a contingency of illegal immigrants would have a work ethic and be against socialism… but the data contradicts that. People have said “they come here to do jobs Americans won’t do”, etc… The data actually shows they are huge recipients of social welfare handouts. I can’t remember the actual percentage, but it’s high, like in the 80s I believe. So actually they come here for handouts, not work (the ones that aren’t even worse criminals).
They might still come for work, but it's a rare person who will reject free money. There are plenty of hardworking farm hands where I live, who are immigrants.
Our government, particularly the federal government, is the entity at fault. I don’t blame the people illegally crossing our borders, but like drugs and alcohol once people get hooked on the government handouts, it becomes very hard to break free. The same can be said for a whole variety of federal government programs where the government has usurped power and wealth rightly belonging to the states and the people and used it to wield undue influence and control. Sadly too few recognize they have been suckered in.
Do I ‘blame’ those who cross our borders illegally? I think that’s the wrong term. I hold them accountable for breaking our laws. I hold our oath-breaking elected officials accountable for breaking their oaths of office.
The free money can’t last forever, and people in the habit of getting a free ride will suddenly get kicked off the bus. I wonder what kind of reaction the psy-op planners expect.
I hope so, and not that you should be suspicious of your neighbors, but “illegal immigrant” doesn’t mean none know how to fit in. Since the Mexican-American War, the southern border has been leaky both directions. Many illegals still sneak in, behave and lay low, take hard-labor jobs under the table, and happily earn minimum wage. Some work here for 4-6 months and go back to Mexico to live like kings the rest of the year. Rinse, repeat. Border states have functioned fairly well that way. The problems have always been cash leaving the US, fewer entry-level jobs, and too many American kids who don’t know the value of starting at the bottom and working hard with dirty fingernails.

the Mexican families near by are all hard working in gardening, having their own business so I think all of them are legally.

In Canada: we followed the same strategy as our Uncle Sam.
Since 2015 & Turdeau's tenure, this country has gone to hell in a handbasket.
And it was a QUICK demise. Didn't even take "a generation" for it to become unrecognizable...
