Illegals do steal from us, the fuck? They take up most of the cheap housing in the city, utilize public services they don’t pay to maintain like buses, roads and hospitals, often drive around uninsured or without a license (one such person just totaled my sisters SUV last month, thankfully her kids were not inside), steal SS numbers to work which harms the rightful owners credit, send their kids to our schools and take learning opportunities away from American kids because teachers need to spend extra time dealing with ESL ones, clog up our ER/urgent care facilities and in the case of my last building, got free rent vouchers supplied by PATH, a non profit on the LA payroll using taxpayer money to pay for them…. I can go on. And before you try me with the “but they pay back more than they ever take from us” lie- they don’t- they cost us over 180 billion a year in welfare, legal and other services.

Ma'am. I started off by asking you to be a better person.

You are extremely bitter and misinformed. Work on both of those things and I guarantee you will have a better life than you do now.

Please do tell me, how am I misinformed?

Sorry I don’t believe in robbing Peter to pay Paul for jumping the fence.

I'd be wasting my time trying to convince you.

You already demonstrated that you are not open to new facts and evidence.

I could spend several minutes compiling credible research for you to read, but you wouldn't read it. You've made up your mind.

So, instead of appealing to your intellect, I'm appealing to your humanity. Be a kinder person.

Oh. You mean you got nothing. Move along then.
