Almost everyone ITT are for and voted for deporting illegals until the very moment it effects them personally or financially then suddenly they are against it

This kind of thinking is exactly how we got here with a bloated budget and gigantic debt problem because even the people and politicians who are spending conscious are for cutting spending until the very moment it might effect them or somebody they know or jobs inside their own district then suddenly they are against it

This is the most moronic thought process ever..immigrants don't contribute to the debt, they. Are a net positive to our economy

Naw, the contractors did not lower the prices because of the illegals. They just made more profit. Same with the rest in construction

They come with a cost to sectors like health, insurance, and welfare. It might be a net gain but those systems suffer. I say that with an asylee sleeping next to me who was given insurance and ebt after crossing

Apparently ICE rolled in on a residential construction site 2 days ago around Gonzales and cuffed 5 illegals and took them away to never been seen again.


I mean, I’m sure they’ll be seen again. Just maybe not in this country.

It'll settle out, but it will probably suck for the consumer.


The contractors and insurance companies did this years ago. You act like buying a roof is some minor expense. You essentially have to have a legit horrible storm, commit insurance fraud or you're out 30k over a job a bunch of illegals did in 2 days while their fat boss harasses people in his jacked up f250 with extreme bright green branding.

Illegal immigrants are not a net positive to out economy.

Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

Are you for or against enforcing the immigration laws and locking down the border?

Most guys in this type of work have a rap sheet and are less reliable. FYI.


My BiL ran a Sherwin Williams store for a while.

He made a statement to me:

“Most of my customers and people building your homes, painting, framing, and fences did not choose this life. It chose them.”

Based on my 25 years of being a contractor I will say if you have a white painter that is not doing drugs or an alcoholic then you don't have a painter that can paint worth a shite.

They are all addicts.

Hate to break it to you, but the majority of them work "legally" with a social that they stole from someone.


They don't have to do that anymore. Biden made it really easy for them to get an ITIN

They take jobs whitey doesn’t want, work hard, and use fake SS numbers causing them to fund a retirement system that will not pay them retirement benefits.
