We just don't have the political will to seal our borders.

How much money is spent on supporting illegal aliens once they are in
the USA? Why are we supporting illegal aliens? We should put them of the
first bus back to the Canadian or Mexican border.

Try to imagine what it would take and what it would be like to round
up 12m people and deport them. It would be extremely expensive and
difficult. Police kicking down doors every day and night all across
the country. TV images of poor Latinos and their children being
dragged, crying, from their mobile homes and forced onto buses. Long
lines of buses at the Mexican border. And what about the millions who
came from Guatemala and El Salvador? Do we fly them back to their
countries of origin? What if the Guatemalan and Salvadoran governments
won't let the planes land? There would be so many negative
consequences, you could write a book about them.

We can't afford to do this, either financially or politically. And
there simply aren't 12m Americans who are willing to do the dirty jobs
that the illegal aliens do.

This is not a simple matter of what one does to oneself. Drug addicts
impose costs on society. They commit crimes to get money for drugs.
They can't hold jobs. They go on welfare. They get sick and require
medical care they can't pay for. They have children that they can't
properly care for and those children grow up to be screw-ups who
impose further costs on society.

"LOL" is a very weak rhetorical device.
