wdmso, you didn’t answer my question. Can we take in every single person who wants to come here, or are there limits?

The question you ask only exist in your mind and other like minded anti immigration

We already had controls along our border long before Trump

Not sure where you get the idea the there aren't limits oh! wait I know because I don't cheer at 800 people being detained by Mexico and praise Trump for stemming the invasion, I think we should allow any one in...

Funny that's the same thinking the right uses with Iran , your a terrorists sympathizer if you disagree with Trump

dodged again.

yes we have excellent controls when we detain thousands of
illegals every month.

i’m not anti immigration, i love immigration. Immigrants who
come here willing to work for a better life, make for some
of the best citizens around. But i’m for legal immigration. I don’t think we should flippantly decide
which laws were going to
enforce and which we will ignore. both sides guilty of that.

Yes we have great controls
at the border. A few years ago, a kid running for congress wanted to show how open the border is. he was on the mexican side, he rented an elephant and a
mariachi band. he crossed the border riding on top of the elephant, surrounded by a mariachi band playing loudly. He made it across while riding an elephant surrounded by a band. Tell us more about the controls we have in place?

Not sure how having controls is a dodge of your imaginary question

Good luck on your wish for zero illegal immigration it never going to happen

But your willingness to spend 11 billion just to build on Trump's border wall to stem this invasion where Trump suggest it cost American 200 billion a year


Yet. Undocumented immigrants are incredible contributors to our economy and are not eligible for public benefits that people think they come here for,"


Did you get that. Part not eligible for public benefits. Yet they are paying taxes that state and local governments take in $11.74 billion

Dont get upset that your sky is falling immigration mantra isn't supported with evidence

Just like you suggested Australian fire have nothing to do with climate change but arson

Not being eligible does not mean that they don't get benefits. Many states do provide benefits, regardless of federal policies. California and New York are prime examples.

He has a hard time distinguishing between immigrants and ILLEGAL immigrants. They like to lump them all together.

that’s the liberal tactic here, lump
them all together. not sure why it’s bigoted to support legal
immigration but oppose illegal immigration. but they all say it is.
