I will vote this election for candidates who prioritize citizens over illegal aliens, those who oppose sanctuary cities, amnesty and taxpayer funded in state college tuition discounts for illegals. That means NO Democrats.

When will Democrats figure out that when you reward illegal immigration with jobs, amnesty, drivers licenses, discounts for college tuition, scholarships encourages MORE illegal entry.Just debating this in congress is costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars..... thank the parents.

People fleeing persecution? or people fleeing for freebies? they sure don't stay in Mexico when they reach "safety" or ask for political asylum in Mexico. Why? because Mexico will give them nothing. So they make the long journey to our border, our giving liberals and our tax dollars.

Just a few examples of the more outrageous costs associated with illegal immigration, we will pass this burden on to our children as has been passed on to us
*The cost of educating illegal aliens children is staggering. From K-12 it costs taxpayers $122,000 for EACH illegal alien student. This does not include the billions spent on bilingual education for illegal aliens.
*30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.Does not include local jails and State Prisons. At $21,000 per year expense per inmate in Federal Prison U do the math.
*$3Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens, I repeat 3 MILLION a DAY to process Illegals in the Criminal justice system.
*$2.2Billion dollars a year is spent on is spent on food assistance programs such as SNAP (food stamps) WIC, & free school lunches.
*Taxpayer funded in state tuition college discounts for illegal aliens cost taxpayers over a billion dollars annually.

I wonder why no protests for American citizens victimized by illegal aliens?

It's funny how if the Merc publishes an article about brown people these days, the comments section here turns into OregonLive.com right wing word salad.

GTFO with that shit, get back to your echo chamber at OLive where you can be xenophobic racists in without stinking up a reputable publication.
