Anyone who thinks illegals should be allowed to stay, supported by our taxes for food, housing, medical and legal expenses, is very mistaken.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who gets in line and goes through the legal process is welcomed after being vetted. Criminals are not welcome. Why would they be? Many innocent people have been killed by violent criminals sheltered in \u201csanctuary cities.\u201d Many killed by illegal drugs. Many children trafficked.<\/p>\n<p>Our land has been overrun and innocent people have been victims. Misguided people think those who break our laws have a right to legal process. They \u201cprotest\u201d for \u201crights\u201d of those who break our laws. They carry Mexican and Palestinian flags.<\/p>\n<p>If you hate America, and love those countries, why are you still here? Rights in the U.S. constitution are for Americans. No country has rights given to illegals or welcomes criminals! Why should we?<\/p>\n<p>Many truly sick people are protesting against Jewish people who came here legally and have rights as American citizens. America is a melting pot of wonderful people who came here legally for a better life, were welcomed and have worked hard to become Americans.<\/p>\n<p>No illegal criminal has rights to stay. It is a crime. If they also harm Americans, they should be in prison. Those who were sent to El Salvador&#8217;s prison deserve to be there. We voted for President Donald Trump overwhelmingly.
