Arkady Renko Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 What bothers me about the illegal immigration is that our lax enforcement encourages people to break the law rather than waiting their turn while also putting a stigma on Mexican immigrants who actually have come here legally.

Dr. Fong Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I dunno that they contribute nothing. They make it so a head of lettuce is about a buck, instead of $5. 295218[/snapback] I don't like lettuce, so bad example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Not only is it ridiculous that these people come into the country illegally, but they also qualify for all kinds of benefits. How the hell does that work? Benefits should be for citizens or those that come here legally. I hate the idea that my tax money goes to people that have come to this country illegally and contribute nothing to society. 295212[/snapback] The big thing is they have children their born in this country. Once that happens it's next to impossible to deport them. The children automatically qualify for government assistance including Medicaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Ummm, Texas was part of the Confederacy...http://www.civilwarhome.com/confederacyoverview.htm Their senators were Louis T. Wigfall and Williamson S. Oldham http://www.civilwarhome.com/confederatesenators.htm Unless that site (and others like it) lies...? 295219[/snapback] I guess I'm wrong. Was the war ever fought there? I didn't think so which is why I thought they weren't at least, dedicated, Confederates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 people that have come to this country illegally and contribute nothing to society. They contribute a lot in my area. We can't get locals to cut grass in 100+ degree heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 Vincente Fox encourages illegal immigration for a couple of reasons. 1. It can bring tax revenue back to Mexico. 2. The availability of higher paying jobs in the United States takes off pressure to improve things at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 We have deer hunting season and wild turkey hunting season. What's wrong with illegal alien hunting season? Works for me. 295190[/snapback] Yea but I'm sure "they'd" limit to one kill per season and make the time from sun up until noon....we all know that's when boarder crossing is at a minimum because of the heat. Maybe they'll issue additional "doe" tags..... PS....Turkey season is coming!!!! OH YEAH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 What are these guys thinking? American citizens stepping up to protect the country and enfoce its laws when the federal government refuses to do so?? Don't they know they are supposed to just stay home and worry about who gets voted off 'American Idol'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Europeans didn't sneak in and try to get on Indian Welfare. If the Mexicans want to try and cross the border with tanks and guns and give it a shot, more power to 'em.

With gas prices as high as they are, I could get used to living on my own reservation. Cheap smokes too, and some mean games of Bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I'm sure these people Link are happy that your lawn is getting mowed. My point being that they come across because they know that they can find work here. As long as citizens give work opportunities to illegals, they'll keep coming.

If Company X can pay someone in india $1,900 a year to answer a phone, vs $30,000 here, they would almost be dumb not to outsource. Tell some 18 year old american kid to mow a lawn in the 90+ degree heat for 8 hours a day for about $40 and he'd laugh at you. Mexicans wait in line for those jobs.
