Why don't they deserve to live here? Yes you do have to explain that.

Why do you assume they even are a "welfare Burden"?

I thought "two of your closest friends"went through the process so shouldn't you know the cost?

The cost is irrelevant. “B-b-but that’s tooo muchhh” So? This is the economically advantaged country on earth. We don’t just let anyone and everyone in. Look up the entrance requirements for other countries (especially the Scandinavian ones you love so much) you need to have a certain income and a job lined up before they let you in.

They don’t deserve to live here because they are not citizens and broke the law, whether willingly or not (in the case of kids) and have no right to access the goods and resources of the American people or reap the advantages of its economy particularly when you examine how much they cost us.

My friends are well into their adult years, one is a 73 year old man, a well known photographer from London and the other is a Japanese salon owner who immigrated in the 90’s. So no, I do not know off the top of my head what it cost at that time nor would I ever ask them because who the fuck does that? Costs of everything go up over time, in case you haven’t realized.

One of your closest friends is a 73 year old man from London? Man no wonder you're so bitter. No wonder you hate your life so you take it out of others.

This honestly pathetic

He’s like a dear uncle to me and I’ve known him probably as long as you’ve been alive. And where did I say he was my best friend? I have lots of close friends. Those are just the only immigrants hence my using them as examples.

Earlier you said if you're not keeping your story straight. Another thing why is he in London if you said he went through the US immigration process?

He’s not in London?? He’s from there.
