    Not if they are here illegally. If they are here illegally and have been charged with a crime, they are being deported and The Big Beautiful Wall, that Mexico will pay for, will prevent from simply re-entering via the human smuggling rape lanes that the Left, pathetically, wants to keep open.

    Obama opens fraud-ridden benefits programs to illegal immigrants

    Trump is slamming them closed!

    The Earned Income Tax Credit, or EITC, and the Additional Child Tax Credit, or ACTC.

    Those two programs are already among the most corrupt and fraud-ridden in the entire federal government. The EITC is plagued by fraud and the ACTC is even worse and SNAP certainly has its issues too!

    A family with a tax bill of $1,000 might receive an EITC "refund" of $5,000, meaning the family doesn't write a check to the government but rather receives a check from the government. The ACTC works similarly for low-income workers with children.

    The IRS paid out $63 billion in EITC benefits in 2013, of that, $15 billion, was given improperly to people not qualified to receive it.

    http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...rograms-to-illegal-immigrants/article/2557286

    Today Trump is fixing SNAP, tomorrow EITC and ACTC!

    Illegal aliens cost US taxpayers $100 BILLION dollars per year.

    Just did, for the 3rd time.

    You are wrong. As I outlined with proof, earlier:

    False: Both Bill Clinton and Obama called for the deportation of illegal aliens from our society. Both did it publicly and Obama actually deported more illegal aliens than any other previous President.

    Bill Clinton: "That’s why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens”

    You can watch the full video and read more here: http://dailycaller.com/2016/09/04/b...egal-immigration-is-the-same-as-trumps-video/

    Barack Obama: According to governmental data, the Obama administration has deported more people than any other president's administration in history. In fact, they have deported more than the sum of all the presidents of the 20th century.

    You can read more here: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obamas-deportation-policy-numbers/story?id=41715661

    Result: We have determined Natty Bumpo's comments to be Fake News (x3), Again. lol

    "Mass deportation" is a comprehensive, inclusive act - banishing all persons of a targeted group without discriminating based upon individual circumstances.

    No US president has ever done that.

    No president has ever called for the indiscriminate deportation of all individuals based soley upon their immigration status as in, "There are an estimated 11-12 people residing in the US who do not have proper documentation. We must pursue, apprehend, arrest, and banish them all."

    After the presidents you cite, many millions were still here. Only a percentage were deported, and for specific reasons. There was never an attempted mass deportation of the 11-12 million folks. Most, by far, remained here.

    It's still mass deportation. Deportation done on a scale we had not previously seen. You moving the goal posts all over the board doesn't change that fact. Your point in null and void so try something else.

    Maybe you are angry over deportations of illegals? Maybe you are angry that Trump is doing what other Presidents have vowed to do?

    Nope, anything less than 20 million in a month is just a minor deportation.

    You define it differently, which is your right since, as far as I can tell, there is no precise definition of "mass deportation."

    The 20% or so of estimated illegal aliens who were deported during Obama's tenure is a very sizable portion but, I don't regard that percentage as constituting "mass deportation."

    Semantics.

    Sure Mexicans come here because here is where the jobs are.

    And Willy Sutton robbed banks because that is where the money is.

    You have an affection for Mexico and Mexicans that I and many others don't share.

    You care what happens to Mexicans. I don't. I just don't care. I care about my fellow Americans. And you think I am a horrible person because of that.

    Oh, well. You can't please everyone.

    What is indiscriminate about basing deportation on immigration status? Sounds like an excellent criterion.

    I have read a few investigative reports linked in posts within this OP. Go find them and read them.

    Including now, Natty. Trump never called for summary mass deportation. I think many have tried to tell you that but you are so convinced and wound up about it.

    It would require an amendment to the constitution, which requires 3/4ths of the states.

    Yes, a preference by which you can ignore the suffering of an entire group is indeed horrible. We could say deplorable.

    THAT is the feeling of most who claim they're concerned about immigration. They are not. They are concerned about MEXICANS being here. That makes the preoccupation racist and nothing better than that. And ANYTHING is better than that.

    I notice nobody goes on about Irish culture and what's wrong with Ireland, but oh no the Mexicans are terrible, their culture is useless, the country stinks... lol!!!

    And what do they say about YOU? But unlike you, they're justified! The U$A has abused Mexico for generations, and what have they done to the U$A? Done your dirty work for cheap.

    The U$A is in blatant contravention of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. California is Occupied Northern Mexico. I realize you care nothing for treaties, law, morality... it's all about who has the guns, right?

    This does not bode well for y'all.

    Well they can still find work off the books in my area more than a few child care workers are working only for cash and I can't speak about other kinds of workers but one woman is taking care of about eight children in her apartment for cash and she must be earning $200 a day (she charges $25/day plus either the parents can provide lunch or she will for an added $5/day) mostly because there is a need and she works for far less than other options. And the middle aged Church going woman is largely trustworthy and likeable. This kind of work doesn't use a SSN and they won't use banks so its hard to go after for the authorities. And if your a working parent $25 to take care of your child is a bargain going to a licensed place would be far more expensive.

    The human rights disaster which would ensue if the deportation of 10 million people were attempted would be in fact comical... as the world laughs at all the hysterical paranoid xenophobic Yanks having yet another fit of intolerance.

    Trail of Tears wasn't bad enough. Sand Creek, Wounded Knee. 3 million Vietnamese murdered for bad U$A policy. All the deathsquads and dictators the U$A has backed.

    But that's ok, right, as long as you've got lots of consumer products available...

    A people who doesn't care that their goods are being produced in abusive sweatshop conditions is a soul-dead amoral people.

    Well, that's important that this child-care worker be apprehended! What a scandal! Civilization is imperiled!

    What kind of person would be preoccupied with this woman and want her busted? Oh and she's making a decent living, well, we can't have that! We can't stand it unless Mexicans are poor and desperate... that makes y'all feel superior. That feeling is an illusion, however, believe me.
