Immigrants are problem

What the illegal invaders do in the work force mostly benefits them and their employers. The rest of us are paying many billions of dollars in taxes to cover the damages they have done.

Government and private land is being destroyed. Along with becoming an open trash heap, fences, vegetation and animal life and property in general are being destroyed.

They take jobs our teenagers used to do, putting them out of work.

They have also taken jobs that our lower-qualified people used to do.

They have overtaxed the capacity of our medical, school and insurance systems the infrastructure in general.

Some of them are sending up to $70 billion into Mexico. No wonder the Mexican government is supporting this invasion.

I can understand why they are leaving Mexico and their respective nations - they are treated like dirt in their own countries. They are treated better here, even as illegal invaders.

The problem is in their country. They should clean up their countries and not trash ours.

The 14th Amendment was established to protect the children of slaves, not just any one who pops across our borders to have babies.

If we can get the illegal invaders out, the majority of our gang problems will disappear.
