It’s a shame we can’t do a better job of securing our borders. I live in Mission Viejo Ca. about 60 miles north of the border of Tijuana Mexico. When I venture out into the city Im starting tio see these poor Mexican woman pushing their strollers down the street and across intersections with 3-5 toddlers running beside her. Or an old Mexican man wearing a sombrero and pancho selling corn on a stick out of an old rickety vending cart. Say what you will, I just don’t want to see it. Im sickand tied of paying their labor and delivery bills. “Here I am . Take care of me…I made it so now you have to feed and cloth me. Oh, I need health are too”. Something’s very wrong here. What are we going to do about it?
I have a feeling you’re not going to fit in too well, here.
Well, he is from Mission Viejo.
Yeah, You’re probably right.
OP likely takes advantage every day of their cheap labor.
Gee let me quess, you’re from LA? A transplant?
A native. But I no longer live there.
If one enters legally, more power to you, live the american dream. Enter illegally, I have a problem with paying your bills. C’mon enough is enough.
So how do you know the people you see entered illegally? Being poor is not exactly evidence of having crossed a border, much less snuck across.
You know what you should do? Sneak into Mexico and make them pay your bills, that’ll show 'em.
On the other hand, the Hispanic people I see here seem to work hard for a buck, just like anybody else. They take the hard labor jobs that “real” Americans don’t want to do, and they take less money to do them in order to pay the bills. There is a bad element, and they fit right in with the American, Russian, African, and Asian bad elements. Ethnicity is no criteria for assholery.
The US Border Patrol is overwhelmed. They’re working hard and are getting better and better securing our borders. Eventually we’ll inact tougher laws and the physical borders will become air tight. But in the meantime, we have to budget millions toward this problem. Millions, possibly billions we need for schools and infrastructure.
Eh, so they’re hard working wonderful people. We know that. This is not the issue. All these, now very precious resourses, allocated for ILLEGAL Immigrants. The key word is illegal.
Americans are and will take the jobs that were once undesired
Yeah, because the one sure way to destroy a nation is to give it lots and lots of cheap labor.
Cheap labour that pays taxes and takes little or nothing in return.
Yes, yes, the entire country of America is going down the drain because of the immigration of people who don’t look like you. Just like it went down the drain during every other wave of immigration in the history of its existence.
I doubt that there is anybody who disagrees that immigration reform is necessary. Do you actually have a suggestion, or is this just bellyaching?
I understand your position eddiec3434. Frankly I think we need to have a significant overhaul of immigration in this country. But I was wondering if you have a source for this claim?
It is my understanding that on the whole, illegal immigrants add more to governmental coffers via taxes than they take out in various benefits. In other words they don’t cost millions, they bring in millions.
And these poor women you see pushing strollers, where do they place the ILLEGAL stamp nowadays? Is it still on the forehead or do you have to check under their skirts?
Except for Native Americans everybody else in this country originally came from some other country.
Everybody.
Think about that.
I’m Scottish, Lithuanian, French. What about you?
A brave stance, OP. I for one am not afraid to say it: old Mexican men selling corn-on-a-stick, GO HOME!
