The truth is right where I live, where apparently, illegals are not

I truly feel sorry for these people but think all illegals should be
removed from the US. I too wish the politicians woud get this through
their thick heads.
In spite of the fact that they might be productive, they are a drag on
the economy.
To educate a student in the public school system here in Delaware
costs $15,000 and the schools are full of anchor kids. The state did
a study a couple of years ago and promptly buried it when they found
it was costing the average citizen of Delaware about $100 apiece to
support the people that should not be here.
