Pretty sure the folks on the Mayflower didn't do any of that shite.


If Pablo is willing to come here and pick tomatoes for a living, why is that a problem? The economy needs him to perform that function or else he wouldn't be here doing it. What we shouldn't do is allow Pablo to send his kids to school for a free education or show up at the emergency room for free healthcare.

What is Scruffy's opinion of the healthcare crisis that this is causing?

Do you agree or disagree that this is causing one in these border towns?

I haven't paid much attention to that so I can't really comment on it, but a problem arising from the inflow of these individuals would not surprise me.

I've been reading a lot about border patrol agents getting sick and such. Apparently they're not vaccinated and bringing diseases that we have, for the most part, eradicated from the US.


Again, I'm not against immigration. I'm against illegal immigration.

There is already a migrant worker program for that.

You realize that we are driving immigration underground? It's basically impossible to immigrate legally as an hourly wage earner. Do you think people enjoy hiking through the desert?

Lower the bar, expedite the process, and you'll have people lining up to get in legally, and they will let you test them for any ailment you see fit.

Racism? Yeah. That'd be most of the fricks screaming about locking down the SOUTHERN boarder. You know. The one where the brown people live?

Let me know when we start running down and deporting white people or shut down the Canadian boarder with a damn fence.

Immigration is what made this country great. Freedom is the divine spark of creation and innovation.

That's fine.

But that won't happen so Pablo doesn't get to pick tomatoes.

So you think it's about race too? Why does everything have to be about race?

And are they flooding the Canadian border by the thousands?

How much have you read up on this. I'm guessing that you don't live in one of these southern states where they're getting people sick? Have you seen those children in warehouses? You think that is humane? There has to be a better way.

They're shooting at our agents. Forgive me, but I think that our citizens should come first.

Let me know when Canadians start running into this country in the tens of thousands.

The racism angle only works on retards.

I agree…until the idiotic generations of the past started creating the insane welfare state we have now.

Get rid of that and we can talk about opening the borders.

Why don't the big corps that want cheap hourly wages recruit cheap labor across the border like the big corps that recruit foreign white collar workers?

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Then you should've realized that the OP was contradictory to those statements, but if that would've happened, you wouldn't have started this thread to begin with.



Oh, and if my posts make me sound like an a-hole, I just finished watching Adventures of Pluto Nash and I'm a bit testy.

Do we really WANT minimum wage hourly workers coming here in droves?

They just don't get it.

Now I have to go to sleep so that I can get up and go to work to pay taxes to support illegal immigrants and moochers. Good night all.

The legal immigrants of the early 1900's all came through Ellis Island legally you stupid son of a bitch. There was some control over it.

There is a practically infinite number of other countries' undesirables that can come over here to leech off us.
