You've indicated you're in your 70s, which means you likely had a father or grandfather that was around for World War 2.

Did either of those men voice approval of Hitler's mass deportation of "undesirables" back then or is your fixation on mass deportations a first in your family's history?

All 4 of my grandparents came from Eastern Europe, LEGALLY! Never were on welfare. Learned to speak English. Worked their entire lives. I know it was a different time, but everything they did was done the right way. Please pay attention to the comment: Never on welfare!

Doesn't sound like they're getting anything you could reasonably call welfare.

What do you call free food. Free medical. Free housing for those who want it. Free drugs because they walk into ANY drug store, and steal anything from over the counter. They do this without any fear of arrest. At least 10 chain drug stores have closed in downtown due to uncontrolled theft.

I'm fairly certain they're not getting any of that, at least not from government -- maybe from church groups.

LEGALLY, you say. Interesting. How long did it take them to get immigration visas? As I recall....and I could be wrong....but more than a few "Eastern Europe" immigrants arrived via refugee status.

It's always been far easier for Europeans to immigrate into the United States, particularly before 1964.

I'm assuming because you feel compelled to boast about 'never on welfare' that both sets of grandparents were well off financially?

Trivia: Do you know how long the wait is for a person from Mexico (Non-athlete, non-genius, non-celebrity, non-millionaire) who has no blood relatives to get an immigration visa into the US?
Hint: Double your guess.

I call 'free food' non-existent from Federal SNAP programs in Washington state, and posted the state official link to that policy earlier. If undocumented immigrants are getting 'free food', it is NOT from the state or local government.

Since you know it all, when was the last time you visited downtown Seattle, or the University district, or Pioneer Square, all of these areas populated by homeless and illegals, freely and openly partaking in every sort of drugs, along with the accompanying crime. This is a daily occurrence, because there is no fear of arrest, let alone incarceration. But, you know better, right?

I've been there, albeit not for a while now. But the above is not what you said. Here's what you did say:

In the western part of Washington state, when illegals arrive, they get welfare, food stamps, a free cell phone, free housing, a free bus pass, and almost anything else they could need. Why do you think virtually none of them ever go to work?

And I've really got to give you credit for deftly moving the goalposts. You start with a bunch of utterly false claims that even you have now abandoned, and switched effortlessly to "Oh yes I have seen all sorts of crime and drug abuse in a rough neighborhood in a major city," as if that's what you actually claimed to have seen in the first place. But it isn't. Illegals are not eligible for welfare or food stamps, and there has never been any sort of program for handing out fre phones or bus passes.

Talk about missing the point.

Talk about missing the point.

And what was the point exactly???

See you missed it too......and you call yourself "smart". Poor bobo.
