        Why don't they seek #asylum in Mexico or other Latin country? The US hasn't taken care of American homeless & Vets. Why should we accept more that will need #taxpayer assistance?! @FAIRImmigration #HonduranCaravan #Honduras #immigration

        Seeking asylum in America, but carrying the flag of the country that they claim to fear? It's an invasion by a foreign country. Treat them as such

        Refugees welcome. This is not an invasion. The individuals are unarmed. They cannot legally immigrate until they get here. Let them in. This is how America started and what we are about.

        And who should cover the cost associated with mass #immigration ?? In CA it cost #taxpayers billions of tax dollars! That money takes away from those that are citizens. #HondurasCaravan

        The majority of these people are more than willing to work and support themselves. We need to stop denying them the opportunity.

        Not all. Many apply for low paying jobs while still having more kids. With a single income #Taxpayers are stuck supporting them through welfare programs. This is very common in CA and the #Liberal gov here does nothing to monitor or limit those that exploit the system.

        That is ridiculous. They work whatever jobs they can get and if they are undocumented they cannot receive welfare. Stop believing the right wing, fearmongering lies. Everyone just wants to be safe and care for their family.

        It depends on what state they're in. Here in CA as soon as they have a US born kids they can apply for benefits. If U don't believe me look it up. Here they can get drivers license, medical, food stamps, free lunches & reduced or free tuition all covered by taxpayers. 🙄

        If they’re working, which 90+% of them do, they are taxpayers as well.

        90% I'd like to see the data on that. There are many who are free loaders & opportunist. Although finding a unbiased news/information source these days is a challenge...

        I know they will make it to the US border to seek asylum but as we have already experienced and continue to see are separated children from their loved ones....even today. More kids and parents jailed in cages...doesn't seem like the America that I love & respect.
