They're primary concern over these last 2 years has been that the correct paperwork MUST be filled out. THAT is the thrust of their objections. They welcome Hispanics working cheaply, taking American jobs, depressing wages....as long as they fill out the appropriate forms.


And pay taxes. That's a pretty big one.

You misunderstand Trump supporters. You really still think they are racists.

They aren't racist. They don't care if someone is an immigrant. They don't mind immigrants coming to America to work. That's great.

They're against ILLEGALS. Why do you leftists continue to not acknowledge that word?

There's also that little point about loving America. People who genuinely love America and what it stands for don't have a problem following the laws to get here and become an actual citizen.

I've never had a problem with legal immigration, it's the illegal part that really chaps everyone's arse: if we can't enforce our laws we should just disband and become an anarchy...

A Want doesn't understand that illegal immigrants depress wages of actual citizens and actual legal migrants that came here to better their lives the right way.

He doesn't understand that they will send their workers here to earn their tax free money and send it back to their country with no desire to ever become a citizen.

He doesn't care that they take advantage of our tax dollars. That they are often victims of crimes from their own people that we can't solve due to their undocumented status.

No, he wants to call us all racists because we welcome with open arms any one, of any race, who wishes to come here to love this country and follow it's laws.

He's a progressive and he only cares about their votes. He could give a rats arse about their lives.

Struggling with the legal vs illegal concept? This thread is sad. Right. What happened to "they're taking our jobs"?


Thanks for posting this a want. Its good news. More legals less illegals.

Thats what we wanted not what you think we wanted. Which in most cases is always a wrong.

Unless/until our current entitlement system is overhauled, we will continue to struggle filling low-wage, manual labor jobs, especially seasonal work. Our current system disincentivizes Americans to take those jobs - the pay is not not enough to compensate for the benefits they will lose by by working those jobs. Not to mention many Americans just don't want them because they are really hard work!

So until a major change is made, I would expect temp visas for seasonal workers to continue and I would much prefer it done legally rather than illegally.

Are you pretending to not know the difference between legal and illegal?

Surely, you're not that fricking stupid.

I'm against it myself, simply because the businesses will not pay a wage commensurate with the market, but then bring in basically slave labor at a greatly reduced cost. This cost Americans jobs, and it has the incremental effect of pushing down the wages of all Americans.

This, of course is the point. But Trumpkins, in an ongoing effort to justify any and everything he does are now focused on"law and order".

It's just part time grunt jobs. Welfare recipients won't do them.

Like you pre election when defending Hillary?

I know you won't address this because you are a dishonest hack and a terrible person but please don't insult our intelligence with your enormous hypocrisy.

How can a functioning human melt like you have since the election? You have created over 100 melt threads since the election. Its unfathomable.

ETA: Holy shite, the total threads was a guess on my part, I just looked at your post history and it is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. You are obsessed and borderline unhinged.

You're really using identity to argue a point without actually addressing the issue? You come across as a Democrat and a want comes across as rational, reasonable and informed on this issue. It's funny because this entire board was up-in-arms over a congressman holding up Trump's agenda because he wanted more of these H-2B visas issued and wasn't getting them. Now, it's in favor of them? Please. People should stand on principles, not on whichever way the wind blows.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Nobody cares about legal workers. It's the illegal ones people have a problem with. Your lack of understanding concerning this issue says a lot about your intellect.
