Things I wonder about....
Many people think it's perfectly ok to use physical force to prevent prospective immigrants (i.e., people who were born on the other sides of lines politicians have drawn on maps) from entering the country because they pay few taxes, might send their kids to public schools, visit subsidized hospitals, go on welfare, speak poor English, or commit crimes.
I wonder why we can't use physical force to deport natives (i.e., people who were born on this side of the lines politicians have drawn on maps) who actually do pay little in taxes, send their kids to public schools, visit subsidized hospitals, go on welfare, can't speak English well, and do commit crimes.
