Illegals should be sent back to thier own countries.The states are broke and a lot of the reason is because even if they work and pay taxes the cost to Americans far outwieghts what they pay into the system.If the US government wants them here then they should foot the bill and reinburst the states for thier care.I also believe the Federal government should not get our tax money to waste like they do.Yes they have revenue sharing with the States but then they have the power to dictate how the money is spent and what laws we have to pass to suit thier agenda not ours.this is not the way our Republic was set up by our founding fathers,it is now like a dictatorship with the federal government in control of the states.They broke the law and are they above the law ? the drugs and gangs are taking over our cities and innocent americans are being killed every day fron gang wars and addiction,the boarders need to be closed Now!
