I just wonder why you on the left support and reward people who break into our country and steal our resources? Do you know illegal aliens cost the taxpayers 20Billion dollars annually? Shouldn't that money be spent on Americans?
You are assuming that I support illegals but you're mistaken. What I've said has to do with my disposition toward Mexicans vs Muslims -- with specific reference to the topic waitress who is a citizen, not an illegal alien.
I disapprove of illegal aliens as much as you do. The difference between us is I do not generally dislike Mexicans. And as mentioned, my feelings toward Mexicans probably is affected by my geographical location. If I lived in a border state I might feel differently.
I do feel very differently where Muslim refugees are concerned, mainly because I know the vast majority of them despise us and mean us harm. This is not the case with Mexicans, the vast majority of whom are motivated only to find work and make some money. How can one dislike them for that?
But generally speaking, I do believe our borders should be rigidly secured.
And please don't think of me as being "on the Left." I am politically independent -- neither Left nor Right but somewhere in between. I think for myself.
