Illegal is a Crime??

Add that to the concrete plants.

LAGLEN: Yay! You made it! Welcome to the zoo! Think, also, of the fact that most black workers are in favor of the Arizona bill because their livelihoods have been most heavily hit by the rotten economy. Yes, unlawful employment of illegals hurts everyone--most of all, the illegals themselves! If they would do as legal immigrants do, i.e., learn English, take the steps to do it right, they'd earn far more! So we all get cheated, & the economy is harmed, because of such scurvy employers!

GERTY: I don't doubt that a multitude of such categories exist. I personally know of carpenters, pipe & sewage workers, maintenance workers, cleaners, restaurant employees, & so on. As one who used to work as an industrial site cleaner, I've worked alongside countless such people. I can tell you, I'd rather scrub out toilets & run a wet vacuum machine again any day rather than live in Mexico, beautiful though it is. Too corrupt for my blood!

With national unemployment at close to 10% there will be people who WILL take those jobs if offered. Those statistics do not even count the unemployed who have given up, or the unemployed who are not eligible for unemployment. By the way, welcome to MyLot. I am not trying to pick a fight, but I know so many people who are hurting who would take those jobs, and are never offered. Yes, sometimes they do some of the less than glamorous jobs, but if they are going to stay, they need to try to become legal residents. Another user in another discussion also pointed out that we also have a population of illegal immigrants from other than Hispanic countries and they do not all take menial jobs.

I do not dispute that more Americans would be willing to do those jobs in this very bad economy. I just think that if they are here and working hard that illegal immigrants should not be sent back to their country. The only reason I this is because I have worked(I was a sous chef) with some Illegal Mexicans & they are the some of the hardest works you will ever see.

SPORTS: I didn't mean to say I disagreed with you in regards to the "hard-working" men & women who come here illegally. I know plenty of people like that, from working with them, but that's not the point. That said, you need to understand that the U.S. made the laws re immigrants as they're written for good reasons. It's not because we're mean racist, selfish & greedy, either. If I were you, I'd look into how & why the laws were made, & why legal immigration is the only good way to come here.

Indeed they do! It could take months to post a tenth of it! Well, let's just keep on fighting back. It does no good to cry about it, or even cry "Foul!" Who'd print it? Still, there are actually thousands of decent media outlets, but so much disinformation about them is done by the Alinskyites to demonize them (or worse, ignore them & say nothing to alert people to their existence), that the majority of the public is either brainwashed into thinking the honest media do a biased or poor job, or are crooked, or else they're simply unaware such honest sources exist! The few such sources who've grown too huge to ignore, such as Fox news--largest cable news network in the world--the Left constantly go out of their way to marginalize, lie about, & smear in vile ways. Yet Fox & the rest who dare to report all Conservative, Liberal, & neutral news available, so the public hears all sides & gets the complete, uncensored news, are the ones who do what used to be the norm for all news outlets! That's changing, though. It may not be that the majority of folks can remain ignorant for much longer, as every day, lately, the Left-controlled media are growing more arrogant. They think we've been persuaded or rendered ineffective, thus they feel free now to drop the masks, make it increasingly obvious that they're biased, & therefore untrustworthy. People know it, & they are looking for honest sources. It's only a matter of time before their search will be rewarded! Maggiepie "Uhh...um...ah--oh! Um, my dog ate my birth certificate!" ~ B.0.

yeah pretty much...

BLUE: Uh...it's the same law that was already on the books--for the Feds--but those guys were refusing to do the job they were elected to do. So what's your beef? ???

Yes. Because doing nothing at all about a problem is the true American way.

Yes, these sorts of silly headlines/statements in general--when they're obvious attempts to excuse inanity (as that one was)--annoy me to no end. It is funny, but it's pretty dark humor. Do you have any theories as to why such people don't even try to come in legally? Why put oneself at such risk doing it the hard way, only to be forced to hide when one's arrived, & take such low pay, too? I'm completely flummoxed as to why this is!

..........What?? Please try again to make me understand what you're talking about. God is our enemy?? He's going to kill us when we're successful? Successful at what? What do you mean?!? I'm sorry, but none of this is making any sense to me!
