This is my question??? Why would your parents leave you in the country with relatives and come to America alone. If we secure the border with fence & force and we stop allowing these illegal parents the right to live here and collect benefits via the American taxpayer perhaps their children would not have to endure being trafficked by rapist,drug dealing low life’s. STOP the process of allowing illegals the ability to send money back to their country’s while ABUSING Americans & their own flesh & blood!!!
Last time I checked you are patrolled and swear an oath to the AMERICAN citizens!!!! Doing vigils and protest that shows alliances otherwise needs to assure you of being replaced. We give enough of our hard earned money to illegals let alone someone who is in political office to abuse AMERICAN rights!!!!
