Part of me feels sorry for them from the sh**hole country they come from.
Most want to come and find meaningful employment and help their family out.
A lot of them that do work end up sending money back to their family that still lives in from wherever they are from. They might have elderly relatives that can't make the trip like they do.
Problem lies with our country that doesn't want to fix the massive problem immigration is having on the border and I understand that it is no easy fix and the criminal element that is also making it into the country.

Do you realize what this does to rent prices? Do you realize that rent is the biggest driver of inflation due to the necessary pressure it puts on wages?

Go ask Canada how that’s working for them.

Are they immigrants or illegals? The 2 are very, very different.

Did you post something bad about Texas or Greg Abbott? If so he probably sent you them as a present.

I want people that are going to come here to at least have enough respect for this country and our culture to at least learn the fricking language.

Yeah. Cut out significant government support and you'd be surprised at the numbers who would respond by working.

Right. It’s not like people who live in South Louisiana have very audible and easy accents to understand lol. No one from outside this area comes here, pulls up to a boudin shack, or gas station in the ghetto, leaves, and says, “I clearly understood those American English language accents.”

Same, those dudes could cook. If they were grilling when I got home they'd always hand me a beer and some food.



I worked on a commercial construction project about 9 years ago and at lunch time the Hispanic crews would gather in the parking lot and cook lunch. The "Americans" (black and white) on the job were eating bologna and sardines out of a can. And talking about the Hispanic folks like they were in the parking lot buggering children. I watched this about a week and, not being skeered nor hateful, sauntered over to the pop up tent they were eating under and asked "whats for lunch?". They could not have been more gracious...I nearly exploded from eating so much. Good eating too...basically grilled chicken, some beans and tortillas but beat the shite out of a can of possum brand mustard sardines. I ate with them most days for about 3 months. I'd bring cut up round steak the day before, one of them would take it home and do something to it and the next day we'd eat like royalty. The "Americans" on the job were certain I would be knifed or kidnapped or worse but the only danger I faced was to my waist...those guys knew how to eat. We even got together a few times after work to eat and drink beer. I am still pretty good friends with 2 of those guys. I do not know if any of them were legal or not, all I knew were they were people who worked every day and were mistrusted by most of their co-workers because they were different...and I also knew they could flat out whip up a helluva lunch in 5 minutes!

I have a little experience with working immigrants. Most do speak some English. The problem is if they do not respect you as a person they will not bother because it works to their advantage. If you come off as the gringo Hefe that's what you are going to be. That is not respect, in fact it is the opposite of respect. I will guarantee you that if you are interacting with an immigrant and try to speak to them in their native language and they can speak ANY English they will do so because they do not understand a fricking word you said in their language but you weren't being an arse expecting them to understand you because of the dirt they are standing or sitting on.
