They take jobs that could be done by citizens if our citizens would get off their dead asses and do them. But we will have to stop sending welfare checks to our citizens for that to happen.

They clog our emergency rooms for minor maladies that should be seen at a clinic or family doctor.

They have anchor babies that are now citizens.

They drink and drive and do not have car insurance and do not follow many of our laws and customs.

That being said. I do not have a problem with 98% of the illegals that come here. They are looking for a better life and many find it. It is the ones that do not want to assimilate or want to make the US into Mexico. I think we should secure our borders first and then find a path to legal residence for the ones that are here and want to stay here. Including letting them get a drivers license so they will follow our laws. That one example of where I disagree with most of the people in my party.

I think it's because it establishes the idea that laws don't matter and that spreads. They also bring drugs up with the same pipelines which of course requires Americans to buy them or it wouldn't happen-- back to the lawlessness.

The demographics of the country is changing and that could cause troble down the road especially if the illegals do not assimilate.

They behave pretty much the same way as legal residents do, most law abiding except for being undocumented, others flouting every law on the books.
