Reply #7: Can't cut off social services.. [View All]

We can't cut off social services. What are we going to do, watch children die in the streets?

If you remove the incentive for these people being here in the first place, then they won't come. That's one solution. Another solution, what I envision, is that we welcome Mexican immigrants with open arms, providing there is opportunity for them here, which I believe there is.

I couldn't imagine the desparation they feel. I am so blessed, I have a well paying career, I drive a new car, I am insured, I am middle class. Sure, life can be challenging at times, but I couldn't imagine things being so bad that I'm forced to kiss my family goodbye and sneak across into a foreign country just so I can earn enough to feed my family.
