She doesn't even know where we have troops on land, in the air or at sea and those absent an intellectual vein in their brain will vote for her to be able to release nuclear weapons to destroy all mankind?

SPC Michael Duricko, Ph.D - kind of a strange remark, Christmas time we had a a young Army helo pilot seriously wounded in a drone attack in Iraq. He is in WR I believe but recovery is a long way away. I did know him, his father and G Father who was a ww2 navy vet. Best wishes for a full recovery

Sgt Jim Belanus I have nothing but total respect and admiration for ALL of our military sisters and brothers regardless of rank, MOS, branch of service, active , retired or separated, but being a combat Army helicopter Crew Chief and Door Gunner, the situation you described hits home. God bless him and grant him strength to endure his infirmities as many of us have no choice but to prevail. You are all in my prayers because your compassion for people is built into your entire post.

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney - The illegals are persistent, yes. But if we stop trying, we lose our country. So, what's your answer? We cannot afford to pay for all these millions of illegals.

More recently, a study looked at census data over a 150-year period; since 1870, incarceration rates of immigrants are actually slightly lower than U.S.-born people and that gap widens in recent years with immigrants 60 percent less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born citizens.

An NIJ-funded study examining data from the Texas Department of Public Safety estimated the rate at which undocumented immigrants are arrested for committing crimes. The study found that undocumented immigrants are arrested at less than half the rate of native-born U.S. citizens for violent and drug crimes and a quarter the rate of native-born citizens for property crimes.[1]

Over one-third of all federal prisoners are illegal aliens, and they cost us over $50K per year to keep in prison. The estimated costs of illegal immigration are in the billions annually, and there are systemic costs we simply cannot sustain. We cannot provide health care, food, housing and education to all the impoverished of the Earth, which is what you're sort of suggesting. Who pays for what you want to do? I cannot. Most Americans are not in economic shape to bear the expenses of another family on top of their own, and they should not have to do so. You've already mentioned that your family is not wealthy, and neither is mine. So, who pays for all this generosity? If these folks want a better life, they need to build it in their own countries, not try to get it via welfare hand-out's from America.
