This is why we need a big, beautiful WALL.
Last night, Joy Reid– who happens to be the self-appointed spokeswoman for illegal immigrants of America– vigorously defended illegals from John Kelly’s “offensive” remark on laziness.
“There are 690,000 official DACA registrants and the president sent over what amounts to be two-and-a-half times that number, to 1.8 million,” Kelly said. “The difference between 690 [thousand] and 1.8 million were the people that some would say were too afraid to sign up, others would say were too lazy to get off their asses, but they didn’t sign up.”
White House chief of staff John Kelly suggests that some of those eligible for DACA “were too afraid” or “too lazy to get off their asses” to sign up for the program https://t.co/HVbMMIoRcd

Cue Joy.
Dear John Kelly: undocumented immigrants are anything but lazy. They work hard every day with no promise of citizenship or a return on their taxes when they get old. If they were afraid to sign up for DACA, perhaps it’s bc many feared that one day someone like you would run DHS.

You know what? Joy’s right. Many of these illegal immigrants are anything but lazy. They’re persistent. Take, for instance, this dude. He’s been deported 44 times in the last 15 years.
He is the world’s most persistent illegal immigrant: One Mexican managed to get deported 44 times in 15 years — which means he also managed to sneak back across the border at least that many times.
The runner-up was ousted 40 times from 2001 to 2015. No. 3, 4 and 5 on the list were deported 35, 34 and 31 times, respectively, according to data provided to The Washington Times by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Stop and consider how much money we’ve wasted deporting that guy. We’re talking a whopping 44 times, you guys. That takes serious dedication. So Joy’s right about him. He’s anything but lazy. He’s not the only illegal who’s been deported more than once, either. What about Jose Ines Garcia-Zarate, the illegal who murdered Kate Steinle? He was previously deported five times. Heck, the illegal immigrant who recently killed Colts player Edwin Jackson and another man was previously deported too. It took serious effort to come back here ILLEGALLY. He’s definitely not lazy either. Heck, he even ran from the cops after he killed those two men. #NotLazy.
So I guess liberals are right. Illegal immigrants aren’t all lazy. Some of them are very dedicated and very persistent.
I suppose you could say we need a wall, because illegals are too determined and hard-working.
Look at me, agreeing with Joy. 😉
