But, they will say you are thinking wrong. They have the right to come in....but if 6,000 Marines from Camp Pendelton want to go to MEX for the weekend...that is bad.

MCPO Roger Collins - So, a poor man with a family is supposed to go back to his homeland and fight well armed and well financed criminal gangs when even the police can do nothing?
He does not look like Rambo.

MSG Stan Hutchison So, he can go to a sanctuary city, where a similar situation exists. If their concern is as you note, they wouldn’t have travelled all the way to the USA. They have openly stated we are the destination for economic reasons, not a valid refugee/asylum reason for admittance. Fight for your country just like we did to have a country like ours. We legally admit about one million legal immigrants a year and illegals drop 3-400,000 babies a year. We should not feel obligated to accept those that are trying to force their way into our country, regardless of age.

MCPO Roger Collins - 1. Your numbers are questionable.
2. I do not believe Honduras today is anything like our colonies were in 1776.

MSG Stan Hutchison And another brilliant statement. As are so many in the past.

National Picture
In 2014, one in five births (791,000) in the United States was to an immigrant mother (legal or illegal). Our best estimate is that legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births, and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000).
The 297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants is larger than the total number of births in any state other than California and Texas. It is also larger than the total number of births in 16 states plus the District of Columbia, combined.
The estimated 28,000 births to illegal immigrants in just the Los Angeles metro area is larger than the total number of births in 14 states and the District of Columbia.
Among the native-born, a large share of new mothers (42 percent) are either uninsured or on Medicaid. The rate is even higher among new mothers who are legal immigrants (47 percent) and higher still for new mothers who are in the United States illegally (67 percent). Almost all of these births are likely paid for by taxpayers.
Of all births likely paid for by taxpayers, about one in four (429,000) was to an immigrant (legal or illegal). Illegal immigrants account for 11 percent (198,000) of all publicly funded births, and legal immigrants are another 13 percent (231,000).
We estimate that the cost to taxpayers for births to immigrants (legal and illegal) is roughly $5.3 billion — $2.4 billion of which is for illegal immigrants.
Although immigration adds enormously to the number of births, it raises the nation’s overall birth rate by only 4 percent, partly because immigrant fertility is not that much higher than that of natives.
