U.S. Doctors See Increase in Anxiety Among Immigrant Children Correlated to President-Elect Donald Trump

This is a pretty sad occurrence; especially among children and families that have suffered through bloodshed and violence, just to get to safety. Hopefully Trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail is just that: rhetoric. Also, the anti-immigrant jargon that is spewed, has little factual backing. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes, but don't receive welfare benefits. http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/20/news/economy/immigration-myths/

    • I sure love you the people here on Offtopic. All you can say is this: "To hell with Illegal immigrants." But you fail to understand the situation they are placed in. Most of you are probably: -Born in America -Never been to harsh areas of Mexico and Latin America -Don't have a family of your own -Absolute pussies (Yea, you read that right) Now, put yourself in the situation of these immigrants. They live in Mexico, where they can't make any money, and their families have nothing. They live in poverty, despite both parents working their asses off. Their children can't get a secondary education, and they are doomed to repeat their parents. They don't have the money or time to come to America legally. So they come illegally. What do they do when they get here? They work jobs that most of you pussies are unwilling to work, and because they are illegal, they get paid below minimum wage. They get paid significantly more than in Mexico, and they are able to do more for their families. Don't even spew the bullshit of "they take jobs from unemployed Americans." That is just wrong. They take jobs that pussy Americans won't. And here's the best part, they get paid less, so your produce is cheaper. Ain't that fantastic!

      • They only need to be worried if they are illegal.

      • Why are immigrant children worried? The plan is to get rid of illegal immigrants with criminal records

          [quote] Undocumented immigrants pay taxes[/quote] Not even close to accurate. I have seen this 1st hand. They work jobs "under the table" (no taxed income). If they do work a real job, they must use a false SS# and then always have Max Deductions on their W2 (funny how they all have 10 children and pay almost nothing in tax from their check.) Then they ship that money back home to their home country. While getting all the benefits of living here. And since they don't/can't file taxes, there is no Obamacare penalty either.

        • Actually this is all the product of fear mongering by the media. Unless you are an illegal immigrant with a criminal record, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. But the media took this and twisted it into "BREAKING: Trump Declares War On Mexico!" If those kids are afraid, it's because they or their parents bought into propaganda. Not because of Trump's rhetoric.

        • A friend of mine is a principal at a K-6 school with a huge majority of Hispanic students. The mood there, ever since the election, has been on high alert and the students are afraid that their parents will be taken away. It's a very high stress environment now. This is the America we live in now.

          • This is coming from the same source that argued that women who voted for Trump were sexist against women and were misogynistic...

            • “The rule of law is the greatest equalizing, unifying force we have in our culture. And when you play political games with it, you may benefit today, tomorrow you will beg to have the law enforced, so just be careful what you do with it today" What law do you choose to listen to? Fact is they broke the law.

              • You idiots believe that you should be in fear because you believed the mainstream media. Bunch if uneducated idiots. The fact that you can't understand that trump wants the illegal criminals out is just mind blowing. Nobody every thought trump was racist or whatever you want to call him before hillarys bullshit campaign made it up. -blam!-ing sheep.

              • And the thing that resonates most with me is Trump saying "it's just words." Well, words have an effect on people, bud. Crazy, I know.

                • One big problem here, the article said "in undocumented immigrants." The forums aren't going to feel sympathy for anyone who is an undocumented immigrant.

                  • As long as they're here legally who cares. But if you're illegal, better pack your bags cause the Trump Police are on their way.
