Trump is resonating with Americans, especially the so-called silent majority, by speaking bluntly about illegal immigration, and Levin also had some politically incorrect points to make on the subject. While listening to Breitbart News Sunday,
Levin said he was particularly bothered by the claimmade by politicians on both sides of the aislethat there are so many so-called jobs that Americans will not do. Levin mentioned that, according to the Census, 73% of janitors are American citizens, as are 51% of maids and housekeepers, 58%of taxi drivers, 64% of landscapers, 66% of construction workers, and 72% of bellhops, porters, and concierges.
But the establishment wings of both parties that do not want to control immigration levels never mention these inconvenient facts. Levin also predicted that the current push by cities to drive up the minimum wage makes it more likely that people are going to hire illegal aliens in order to undercut the wages of Americans who work in these industries.
I wanted to mention these jobs because the majority of these manual labor jobs are done by American citizens, and thered be more but for the fact that the entire pay structure is undermined by the criminals who come into the country and the criminals who hire them and the criminal politicians who keep praising them, Levin said.
He added that when listening to Jeb Bush, it seems like he believes Everybody who comes here is better than every American citizen.

Why hire an American for $15/hr (plus all the other costs involved) when you can hire an illegal alien for less than half as much and pay them under the table?

(this is from a story last night, but worth a re-post, have a look)
A report from the Congressional Research Service concluded that the vast majority of UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS do not fit in the category that fits Trumps description: aggravated felons, whose crimes include murder, drug trafficking or illegal trafficking of firearms, the Washington Post reported.
The American Immigration Council also reported that, based on analysis of data from the FBI, US Census Bureau and other agencies, IMMIGRANTS are less likely than the native-born to engage in either violent or nonviolent antisocial behaviors.
Look at the the above 2 paragraphs, and the words that I capitalized - they are together, with one right after the other, just as above, but they are referring to two entire different groups of people - in the first case ILLEGALS, in the second ALL IMMIGRANTS.
For the first case, I would just use the analogy of blacks. The VAST MAJORITY of blacks are honest, hard working, people that simply want to provide for their families (that may not quite be true for black males aged 15-30, but it is true for all other categories of blacks)...yet black are half the population of our jails.

What do former convicts do when they get out of jail? We have a larger obligation to them to integrate them back into society than we do immigrants.

As always Mark Levin nails it.

The biggest lies is the 11M number (of illegals). That number has been around for at least 15 years and is way small. IMHO, the real number is between 40-50M.

There is so much smoke and mirrors to address in the Republican party (and in the Democrat party and the federal government, and the states, and counties and cities too, it’s difficult to address all of it in a short concise presentation.
Mark actually comes close to rambling here, but it’s because one thing leads to another, and that to another, and that to another, and on and on it goes.
You can’t stay on topic, because every topic is merely a new worm-hole for galaxies of potential corruption to address.
How do you address all that? When you talk illegal immigration, you have to address the border, jobs, crime, gangs. prisons, illegal housing, illegal commerce, children, the Constitution, and that’s just getting started.
You start another topic and it’s flourishing in the exact same manner. Good luck.
Mark did a good job there, so don’t get me wrong. It’s tough to talk to folks without their eyes glazing over, because there’s do much detail that has to be covered, you can’t help but nod off after seven or eight hours with nothing repeated.

I hope you’re right, because if you aren’t 25,000,000 illegals have already been processed to legal status.
That’s the dirty little secret.

Check out
Ann Coulter: immigrants
are window dressing for left-wing activists campaign to destroy America . One of the authors more contentious arguments concerns Coulters overarching belief that immigration legal and illegal is being used to consciously undermine the country,
in a formula that she describes in shorthand asThird World immigration + massive welfare state + political correctness = The End of America."
In a section of her book titled Proud to be Un-American, Coulter expounds upon this argument, writing:
Immigration is how the Left decided to punish American.
The anti-American crowd used to dash off to fight with Communist insurgencies in Third World jungles.
But the fun of being self-righteous was sometimes cut short when they ended up in prison,like Lori Berenson who was arrested for her activities with the Túpac Amara Revolutionary Movement in Peru.
Rather than hating America from abroad, todays radicals can hate it right here at home
by bringing the Third World to America! Google immigrant rights group files suit and youll get 20 million hits.
Even after the country had twice elected the angel Obama, only 40 percent of liberals told Pew Research they were proud to be Americancompared with more than 70 percent of conservatives.
Our recent immigrants agree with liberals!
According to a Washington Post poll, a majority of second-generation immigrants from Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, Vietnam, and the West Indies did not refer to themselves as Americans
and said America was not the best country in the world.
Coulter continues:
Sending undesirable immigrants to an enemy nation is a war tactic,such as, in 1980, when President Jimmy Carter idiotically offered to take any Cubans who wanted to come to America
and Fidel Castro responded by emptying Cubas prisons and mental institutions onto the Mariel boat lift.
Today, immigration is again being used as a war technique by Americas enemies:Instead of Communist dictators conniving to send their headaches to the United States,
American liberals are conniving to bring them hereand then hand them voter registration cards.
Third World immigration is a win-win for the Left.
They can instruct immigrants on hating the country and get their housework done at the same time!
To its dismay, the American Left is utterly bereft of working-class membersthe very proletarian masses they hoped to champion!
Instead, their meetings are jammed with college professors and feminists.
But you know where liberals have finally found a working class amenable to left-wing politics and violent political demonstrations?Take a look at Latin American politics for your clue.
The immigrants themselves are window dressing for left-wing activists campaign to destroy America.
Foreign names go on the masthead, but left-wing zealots lead the team.
Michele Waslin, for years the spokesman for La Raza"meaning a race other than hers
denounced a legislative proposal to encourage immigrants to learn English and American history, sayingpatriotism and traditional American values are potentially dangerous to our communities.
Leftists have no trouble adopting the persona of an oppressed Third World person.
The only identity they have difficulty assuming is: American.

The biggest LIAR in throwing out FALSE illegal immigration/crime statistics is Whorealdo whose big mouth overpowers everybody else on The Five and the other panelists just give up or they're ill-prepared with the true figures.
Between Whorealdo and Juan Peron Williams this program is just too plain sickening to watch any more.
