We need to allocate more $$ to our homeless citizens before funding illegals.

Or we could help both and stop having endless wars. We are the wealthiest nation on earth, but the wealthy keep getting richer and don't pay their fair share.

In sheer dollars, maybe. Not as a percentage of income which is all that matters here.

Also, no human is illegal.

Have you ever even met an immigrant without a visa? Do you know most of these people work for less than minimum wage and avoid anything that would put them under the eye of the public in fear of deportation. You literally cannot get state/federal unemployment/welfare without a social security number. Please educate yourself before blaming the disenfranchised for capitalist failure.

I think you’ve got it backwards. Illegals fund us to the tune of $5 billion a year. They pay for social security benefits they’ll never receive. Our economy would crumble on so many levels without the undocumented workers.

I’m assuming it’s being downvoted because it’s negative and unhelpful, as opposed to pro-trump misunderstandings
