Whole bunch of articles all the time in the Texas newspapers about the plights of individual illegals.

Long one today about a 5-year-old who was separated from his illegal father.

Yes, heartbreaking that the little ones -- who can't understand -- have to suffer.

However, I have no clue why these people don't head to Costa Rica, Panama, or South America instead of here.

That is a good suggestion. Those places are beautiful too. I guess for some reason people think US is where the life is at. US has its perks, but other countries do too plus the scenery.

I have it on good authority that, in asylum hearings, the USCIS officers do not ask, "If we grant you asylum and let you stay, what do you have to offer the U.S.?"  That would be chief among what I, and perhaps many others of us, would want to know.

Absolutely. I would also want to know the same.

I don't believe you

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

My guess would be because none of those countries allow millions to walk across the border, and don't have politicians that are willing to sell out their own country in hopes of getting  votes. Thank You democrats

Oh great. More people crammed into our already overpopulated prisons. 

There's a way to fix that. Get rid of mandatory minimums and release all the people guilty of petty crimes that shouldn't be there in the first place. Then we will have plenty of room for real criminals.

Yes and stop putting life sentence on non violent crimes and drug charges.

Yes, that and also the mythical belief that all US Americans have a "tree in the backyard that rains money".
