Well, it obviously can't be true because we've been told over and over and over on this board that illegals don't get benefits.

Am I the only person that realizes that we can post crime reports about every freaking ethnic, economic, political, religious, gender, sexual preference, and every other freaking group in the world?
Yet, we have certain posters on here that are so hung up on race and categorizing people that they feel the need to highlight only one group's claims.
Ignorance and hate.

They WERE here illegally, or they ARE here illegally?
Regardless, we get told all the time illegals (of ANY race) don't get benefits from the gov't. THAT is the story.
You, or someone, called this a needle in a haystack? No. Illegals get benefits beyond belief.
The media doesn't report it. And further, we have citizens - LEGAL citizens - that defraud the gov't. for benefits they aren't 'entitled' to.
But, back to you: Knowingly helping an illegal family could be a crime. Not saying you're guilty of it.
I know you posted that for the 'look at me and how I help the poor and illegals" aspect.
I'm sure, if you invited them to your house - or one of your 3 or 4 houses, you were confident they were okay from a personal standpoint.
But, if they are here illegally, did you help them by telling them how to become legal?

But, I'm super happy you are aiding and abetting illegals. Known illegals, according to you. And, as you stated, you knew the student was here illegally, yet did nothing. Didn't report them, or anything. I think your story took a turn you didn't foresee when you posted it.

Vers I’m glad you invited them over for dinner.
Good to know people actually still treat people like people. We have far too many who end up using the term illegal as if they’re subhuman and not worthy of some sort of compassion.

Thanks bro.
I think I told you the story before about the girl. She was really, really smart. Very respectful. But, she missed a ton of school. I used to get on her case about missing school and she tearfully told me about her situation.
I met w/her parents who were both employed in service type jobs. Dad was a landscaper and mom cleaned houses. They worked long hours and didn't ask for a dime. They were very respectful and appreciative for me being one of their daughter's teachers.
They are very good people. They work hard. I know they are here illegally, but they don't break other laws. They want to become citizens, but the damn laws are freaking crazy. All I know is that they are not the criminals that arch, Diam, and the OP say they are.

If my dinner guest has jay walked or sped over the speed limit, I begin to forcibly remove them from the table and don't even give them a doggy bag.

Maybe you and swish oughta get a room? You do realize the OP wasn't talking about your dinner guests don't you?
The point of the OP was that this illegal was getting benefits fraudulently.
Nobody said they weren't people, but they're not supposed to be here.
I agree that the red tape to become a citizen is ridiculous.
I also don't think those on the left are actually interested in solving this issue. Just another political football that they keep kicking to get votes.
In the SOTU Trump laid out a reasonable deal for a path to genuine citizenship for the dreamers so long as there was real border security enacted, and what do the dems do?
Walk away. From a reasonable deal, I think the 12 years to become a citizen is a bit long (2-3 times too long), but other than that...

And, I think the thread got steered in the wrong direction.
Remember, we've been told on here over and over that illegals, red brown yellow black or white (there's a song behind that) don't get benefits. We've been told, on here, that they don't collect any benefits.
All they do is come here illegally so that they can benefit their family.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............now we see something other than what some want us to see.
Hey, chs, have your dinner guests been legal citizens?
Or does that not matter to you?
Sincere question, cause if you say it doesn't matter if they are illegal, I know a few people that would gladly move into your house, and eat your food, and sponge off your IRA/401K. And you wouldn't care, right? Doesn't matter that they would be in your house illegally, right?

something seems off to me about this discussion.
can any of you provide a link showing any of us claiming that illegals don't receive benefits?
im dead ass right now. this is my first time ever hearing this claim from conservatives, that liberals stated that they don't receive benefits.

My white dinner guests do this anyway and I ask them why they do so. They say they're American and it is their right. As a result, I have lost my land and my family. When I mention this to them and their children, they say it doesn't matter and that they owe me nothing.

They do receive benefits, one of which is public school. The cleveland area spends roughly $15k per student, 6.5% of those are non-English speaking. I don't have numbers on how many are illegal, and the numbers I presented are from 2012. The author of the article did not include those numbers.
At 15k per student, 1000 illegal kids is costing $15 million. Thats a lot of tax money going to people not paying into the system. It has already been determined by many courts around the country that they are going to educate these kids no matter their status.

Then why are you bringing up your dinner guests in a discussion about fraudulent benefits? I also know you are neither left or right, and have to give it to you for your objectivity in most cases.

You're not here for a discussion. You'd rather focus on a word "illegal" than actually discuss what undocumented migrants go through.
Get your silly Hannity talking points outta here.
Can I call you illegal as you most likely never follow the speed limit?

Ted, my beef wasn't w/you.
I brought it up because we have certain posters on here who constantly post negative posts about illegals, as if they are the only people guilty of wrongdoings. I thought I clearly stated that crimes are committed by all groups.
Look, my man..............I ain't trying to change your mind. I am just expressing my viewpoints that I have been exposed to many illegals over the years as a teacher and I have found the great majority of them to be quality people.

I know, but every time someone brings up something like this even in the Kate Steinle thread it always devolves into a 'you're a racist with no compassion'-'no I'm not, I just want my country protected' thread. And this one is no different, and you played your typical part in it.

I wonder if Clem’s had any illegals over for dinner? ...  .... No. All my friends are American citizens. Most who are my age to 20 years younger are 2nd gen already. Like: born here Americans. I teach their kids. They come to my concerts. Their kids are into scouting and video games. Their High School orchestra director (and music director of the Youth Philharmonic) is named Wasim Hawary. They work in all walks of life, pay taxes and vote. And they buy homes and become neighbors and hang out with white folk and us brown ones, too. It's really kinda cool, Diam. But we're good at it because we've had 100 years of experience at it. Nothing improves a person more than practice. Google us, and you'll see: there has been a strong Middle East connection to this part of America since the early 1900's. People in other places who don't have this history have a hard time understanding how we do it. Or why we do it. I don't have an answer for that. All I know is that it's been like this forever and it's just daily life. We all just get along, for the most part. It's not utopia. It's still a big-ish city, with all the crap that goes with that. But Arabs, Lebanese, Syrians, Egyptians, [insert country of origin here] just aren't a problem. What's even crazier: no matter what country they came from, they get along here... even if their countries were mortal enemies back home. Guess why? Diam, the answer's gonna shock you. They get along here in NW Ohio/ SE Michigan because they all came to America to get away from that environment. To have something better for their kids. To be something better. They get along with themselves and all of us because we've all agreed to, I guess. With a history of 3-4 generations of citizenship, they've proven to be exactly the kinds of immigrants we should be welcoming. For us, this is what 'being an American' is about. That whole Middle East thing is almost never a reason that people make our local news. _________________________ You know- you caught me in a mellow, inquisitive mood tonight, so I'll take the opportunity to try to figure something out. That is, if you'll go along. This 'dinner thing' of yours has been playing out over many many months. You've been like a dog with a bone about it... but I've never understood why. Of all the things you and I have gone back & forth about... what is it about this one that seems to have you stuck in a groove? You toss this thing out like it's supposed to be some deep cut, but all it really does is prove that I have friends. So what is your point? I need you to explain this, because you are one... unusual individual. thanks in advance. your pal, clem

All people who are here illegally are criminals because they are breaking US law. Period. To stay here illegally they have become liars and cheats also. That's not my opinion. It's fact. It's a lifestyle choice that I find repugnant.
I don't care about dreamers because we have our own citizens who are starving and poorly educated. Let's take care of our own citizens before nurturing lawbreakers.
You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people. Hate is a tool of the stupid to deal with what they can't understand.

You can call me an illegal!
I always drive five miles over the speed limit. How does that make you feel that I break the law all the time. I break this law all the time because I wish to get places faster.
You consider yourself a follower of Christ, yet you show yourself as a selfish individual. You, along with many other, basically say “why should I care about what undocumented migrants go through? People similar to me have more problems, and those born into privledge mean more to me. I will ignore what the Social Justice Gospel of Christ talks about.”
And before I get any ridiculous counterpoints of “why not let someone take your house if you’re so high and mighty?” None of you understand the life I lead.
