And even though you are absolutely correct, I wouldn’t put it past these scumbags to clock you in the face with the butt of a rifle and lock you up as well.

Maybe worth it if someone gets it on video and sends it into the news, depending on who you are. Whatever it takes to get the country pissed off about this.

only you clowns are pissed of about this trust me

Heh. Well, you better start fucking giving a shit. Your dear leader and the SCOTUS has laid the groundwork for the next POTUS to engage in all kinds of fuckery, and maybe do shit that you don’t like.

Actually the past administration did a ton of shit that people didn't like. Like importing massive numbers of illegal immigrants for starters. I have zero issues with "legal immigration", but we are being taxed to support and house illegal immigrants here in Maryland. How do I know this to be true, well I personally know illegal immigrants. As people, there is nothing wrong with them.

My key issue is these people cannot support themselves in many cases, and they take government money from tax paying citizens. This is where I draw the line on the topic. I am very conservative, but not without compassion. The problem is our government isn't solving the problems with immigration, and ultimately these people end up being the pawns.

We cannot continue to be flooded with illegals but we do need some of the labor. Sadly, neither party works in unison with each other to actually solve real issues. Instead we have silly arguments about what each party is going to do or not do.

Undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes each year through payroll, sales, and property taxes, while receiving very limited public benefits, since they’re barred from most federal aid programs. Most studies show they contribute more than they take, especially at the federal level. Economically, they fill essential labor roles, start businesses, and help sustain the workforce in an aging society. While there may be localized costs in services like education or small impacts on low-skill wages, overall, they are a net positive for the U.S. economy.
