LETTER: Deny illegal aliens free stuff

Why do illegals from Mexico cross the border? The answer is simple; they want a better life for themselves that their country is unable to give them. For their pregnant wives, they get free prenatal care and birthing; for the family, free medical services and social services; and for their children, free schooling.

For all this you would think they would be grateful. Have you witnessed their gratefulness at the Trump rallies? They protest our political system by flying their Mexican flags and in some instances burning ours. Considering everything our country is doing for them and everything their country didn’t do, they should be flying the American flag and burning the Mexican flag.

What would happen to an American burning the Mexican flag? What would happen to an American burning the Mexican flag in the middle of Mexico City? He would either be beaten or put in jail. Of course, we wouldn’t do that, but what we could do is escort them to the border so they could enjoy the benefits of Mexico.

I’ve often said we don’t need to build a wall. All we have to do, since they shouldn’t be in our country, is deny them all the free services we are giving them now at the expense of the American people.
