there are probably around 500,000 of the criminal illegal aliens in the Houston area alone, most likely it's closer to 700,000, of which over 20% at least are affiliated with gangsters and drug cartels, theft rings, sex slave trade operators, etc. And of course any idiot who thinks we need to bankrupt social services for Americans n order to make these criminals stay should just go the INS website and find out all about how you can sponsor an immigrant yourselves, if you're so concerned n stuff about the plights of criminals who are literally stealing the food and shelter from Americans in poverty. Wonder why they never put up or shut up? There is more than enough Social Justice Warriors and the gimps who love them to sponsor every single one of the criminals; no need for the Feds or state to worry about them at all.
You want liberals to sponsor illegals? That would be a federal felony. The answer to illegals is to deny then jobs and all govt benefits including use of our schools.
U.S. laws allows U.S. citizens to sponsor immigrants; all they have to do is assume legal and financial responsibility for them for a number of years until they're granted citizenship, bypassing the usual wait in line via the normal channels.
My point is those that whine and cry over their plight are just hypocrites, as they can sponsor them if they so chose to. Don't worry, the frauds wouldn't be caught dead putting their money where their mouths are.
