  4. No money, they say they are poor,
    I see healthy people,
    I see nice shoes and clothing,
    I see nice haircuts,
    I see body tattoos and piercings,
    If someone can afford this they can stay in their own country,

  11. Exploitation of AMERICAN human rights, FROM CENTRAL AMERICA, SO. AMERICA, MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA AND CHINA. YOU DON'T SEE OR HEAR AMONG NEWS OF IRISH, ENGLISH, SCANDINAVIAN, ITALIAN, SPANISH OR WAVES OF GERMANS AMONG THE CROWDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. JUST LIKE THE MAN SPEAKING IN SPANISH IT'S PRESSURE FOR AMERICAN AND MEXICAN ELECTEROL PRESIDENTIAL VOTES. PURE EXPLOITATION FROM CENTRAL AMERICA. AND THEY CARRY A CROSS OR THE MEXICAN FLAG TO DISCREDIT MEXICO AS THEY EXPLOIT MEXICAN POLITICAL ELECTORAL VOTES. FOR THE MEDIA AND WORLD TO JUDGE IT'S ALL MEXICANS. AGAIN PURE EXPLOITATION.
