It’s also should be our choice who and why we let immigrants in or just guest or temporary workers for whatever length of time we decide.

Being against illegal entry and immigration into our country does not make one against immigration like many constantly imply. We can set any immigration policy or temporary or seasonal worker program we want that benefits the country, but it has to be enforced at the borders and within the country. The people entering must respect those laws as well.

I hear this milquoast argument all the time.

Its about 1000% more likely that they and their families are taking far more out of the system than they will ever put in...

Uhhh


Yall are pretty naive if yall think the whole immigration thing isn’t demographic replacement at its core


There’s a certain group that thinks it’s a good thing to dilute out the group that has successfully waged revolutions and built strong countries on every continent with a group that will elect a banana company to run their government

Ice got one of my brothers workers at a traffic stop. Guy from Honduras who has been here 15 years, owns property, and never committed a crime (besides entering illegally). Hopefully he is allowed to stay

They are freeloaders. They’re working tax free and they’re working for less wages than Americans and legal immigrants can afford.

Get. Them. OUT.

They are not rounding up illegal alien construction workers unless they have committed crimes other than being in the country illegally. Period. One, we couldn't afford to, and two, the economy would go to shite real quick.

It's a slap in the face of the millions we have that went through the legal system to get here and the ones that are on the waiting list.
Also, they had the chance to self deport with a free plane ticket and didn't take it.

Working for cash and signing up for everything the government gives away is pretty much a freeloader

This is the only way to keep illegal aliens, including criminal illegal aliens, out of the United States. Neither party wants to do it. Neither party does it. Trump won't do it.

There is this crazy concept of legal immigration. It’s been around for a long time. They legally enter for these jobs and leave when the season/work is done.

I guess letting in 30 million illegals without any background checks is another way to do it.
