$60M Per Week Being Spent to Shelter Illegal Immigrant Minors

The USG has been and still is an asshole.

Nicaragua

See also: United States occupation of Nicaragua and Iran–Contra affair
In 1912, during the Banana Wars period, the U.S. occupied Nicaragua as a means of protecting American business interests and protecting the rights that Nicaragua granted to the United States to construct a canal there.[47] The intervention, utilizing the U.S. Marine Corps, was sparked by a rebellion that opposed the United States. After quelling the rebellion, the U.S. continued occupying Nicaragua until 1933, when President Herbert Hoover officially ended the occupation.[48]

After the Sandinista Revolution that overthrew pro-American dictator[49] Anastasio Somoza Debayle, Nicaragua fought the Contra guerrillas supported by the United States.

Your USG, especially right-wing assholes, likes to **** over people and their countries.

Panama

See also: United States invasion of Panama
In 1903, the US aided the secession of Panama from the Republic of Colombia. The secession was engineered by a Panamanian faction backed by the Panama Canal Company, a French–US corporation whose aim was the construction of a waterway across the Isthmus of Panama thus connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1903, the US signed the Hay-Herrán Treaty with Colombia, granting the United States use of the Isthmus of Panama in exchange for financial compensation[50][51] amidst the Thousand Days' War. The Panama Canal was already under construction, and the Panama Canal Zone was carved out and placed under United States sovereignty. The US did not transfer the zone back to Panama until 2000.

Panamanian dictator Omar Torrijos' unexpected death in a plane crash has been attributed to US agents in collaboration with Manuel Noriega.[52][53] According to John Perkins's book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man the motive behind it was Torrijo's negotiations with Japanese businessmen to expand the Panama Canal excluding American firms.[54][unreliable source?] Torrijos was also a supporter of the anti-Somoza FSLN rebel group in Nicaragua which stained his relationship with Reagan.[55] Torrijos was succeeded by more pro-American dictator Manuel Noriega, who sided with the US interests during Torrijos government.[56][57]

However, increasing tensions between Noriega and the US government also led to the United States invasion of Panama, which ended in Noriega's overthrowing.
 
Argentina

In Argentina, military forces overthrew the democratically elected President Isabel Perón in the 1976 Argentine coup d'état, starting the military dictatorship of General Jorge Rafael Videla, known as the National Reorganization Process, resulting in around 30,000 forced disappearances. Both the coup and the following authoritarian regime was eagerly endorsed and supported by the United States government[citation needed] with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger paying several official visits to Argentina during the dictatorship.[5][6] Among the many human rights violations committed during the period were extrajudicial arrests, mass executions, torture, rape, disappearances of political prisoners and dissenters,[7] and illegal relocations of children born from pregnant women (both pregnant before their imprisonment or made pregnant by the continuous rape).[5][7] According to Spanish judge Baltazar Garzón, Kissinger was a witness to these crimes.[8]


So.... what did we do to Mexico to deserve their invasion for many moons?

Oh shit(we have a thinker)

Paraguay

See also: 1954 Paraguayan coup d'etat, El Stronato, and 1989 Paraguayan coup d'état
Conservative Colorado Party in Paraguay ruled the country for 65 consecutive years, including the American-supported[58][59][60][61] brutal dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner that lasted 35 years, from 1954 to 1989. But later the US supported a coup by the "traditionalist faction" of Colorado against Stroesser. Paraguay is one of the poorest countries of South America. This dominant-party authoritarian system was temporarily broken in the 2008 Paraguayan general election, when practically the entire opposition united in the Patriotic Alliance for Change and managed to elect former Bishop Fernando Lugo of the Christian Democratic Party as President of Paraguay. Lugo's government was praised for its social reforms including investments in low-income housing,[62] the introduction of free treatment in public hospitals,[63][64] the introduction of cash transfers for Paraguay's most impoverished citizens[65] and indigenous rights.[66]
 
You mean like the Mexican I married?(I'm white)

(sigh)
You just seem to be attacking what I say, without understanding that I'm mostly agreeing with you.

I suppose because I'm not ideologically pure enough for you, so let me just ask you straight out, what the hell do you want us to do about our broken immigration system?

PS you're just coming off as a jerk at best.

Uruguay

See also: 1973 Uruguayan coup d'état and Civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay
After 150 years of traditional democratic governments in Uruguay, a civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay backed by the United States[69][70][71] started after the military-led 1973 Uruguayan coup d'état that suppressed the Constitution of Uruguay of 1967, empowering President Juan María Bordaberry as dictator. Trade union leaders and political opponents were arrested, killed or exiled, and human rights violations were abundant.[72] Democracy was restored in the 1984 Uruguayan general election.[73]
 
There are more taxes than just state/federal income tax.

At least these people are working and trying to pull their weight in the social boat.

Like several families with multiple kids living under 1 house paying 1 rent payment )(superposed property tax) being educated in our schools?

Your sniveling post failed to account for the reasons why people have been fleeing Latin American countries the USG has been ****ing over for centuries.

Venezuela (part 1)
See also: 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt § US role and alleged involvement, and Foreign involvement in the Venezuelan presidential crisis
In April 2002, president Hugo Chávez was briefly ousted from power in the 2002 Venezuelan coup d'état attempt. Members of the Bush administration held meetings with opposition leaders for months before the coup attempt, but explicitly informed them they would not support a coup.[74] The OAS and all of Venezuela's neighbours denounced the coup attempt, but the United States didn't condemn the coup until after it had been thwarted.[75] The US did warn the Venezuelan government of the potential coup, but their warnings were ultimately ignored.[76]

Chávez died in office in 2013, and was succeeded by Nicolás Maduro. Maduro's presidency has coincided with a decline in Venezuela's socioeconomic status, with crime, inflation, poverty and hunger increasing. Analysts and critics have attributed Venezuela's decline to both Chávez and Maduro's economic policies,[77][78][79] while Maduro has blamed speculation and economic warfare waged by his political opponents.[80][81][82]
 
Name one Latin American country the USG hasn't ****ed over.

Having you ever gave it some thought to why NOT all these countries that this happened to their people aren't flocking to the states(Hint)?

Take your time
 
Like several families with multiple kids living under 1 house paying 1 rent payment )(superposed property tax) being educated in our schools?
So you not only hate immigrants, you hate the poor too, is there anyone you don't hate, because you probably treat your "Mexican" wife as if she were your property,

Anyway, the only thing you got right is they are "our" schools, not your schools, so my tax money goes to fund the poor families that have to live three to a house, and your tax money goes to dropping bombs on brown people, feel better?

The USG stole Mexican territory because it wanted to expand and expand slavery. Mexico abolished slavery decades prior to the US.

One might think that a refugee from California might know that California was stolen from Mexico.
