Interesting...the legal immigrants I know would not believe that they were the 'privileged few'. Many of them had to work very hard to get here but still went through the proper channels.
Reba mentions some items, but there is A LOT you don't see. Lets start with not having a drivers license. Many of these unlicensed drivers are driving on the roads with you...not a clue on how to drive safely. Many do not understand the concept of having auto insurance...which begs the question of what happens to YOU when you and your family are going through a green light and an unlicensed driver goes through the red light and hits you and your family....and has no insurance? Are you really OK with that?
Then the police show up...the person speaks no English (funny that they know what handcuffs mean and the word 'Immigration'). OK, so now we are dealing with an undocumented person...no license, no nothing. If he tells me is name is Jose Edwardo Rodriguez, how do I know that is really him? Do you think he will give me his correct name. And how do we know he isn't a deported felon (he has committed serious crime in the US and was deported...and came back into the country again)...because the name 'Jose Edwardo Rodriguez' comes up the same for 20 different people. Is this guy him or not?
This happens every single day where I live and my platoon handles at least 1 call every single day just while I'm working. Again, this is just an example. Oh, and don't get me started on what those tattoos on many of them mean...and yes, many illegals in my area are showing 'colors' of various gangs. When you are bored, read up on what MS-13 (among many others) are doing in the Washington DC Metro area.
Please point me to a statistic that crimes by illegal immigrants are 'rare'
Should we get started on Health Care costs? Here, you walk into a Maryland hospital, they HAVE to treat you no matter who you are (if they know who you are)....free health care while being an illegal alien...not a bad deal if you ask me.
