Why do companies want to play in the politically correct field and bother the rest of us? I don;t know many who are against immigration if it is legal, but why glorify illegal immigration/ What snot nosed college kid who lived in his partent's basement came up with this crap, and why did a company agree to go along with the adverisement. The first remix is far better, what do you think?

Why should we pay you hits for videos you had nothing to do with?

I interpreted the original ad differently, that the wall was a literal barrier to their illegal intent and the door a metaphor for the legal method of immigration. If their intent was otherwise, the door would have been omitted.

There are a few of those stores in my area.

I have never personally seen one actually open, never seen anyone moving around the lot or building and do not know anyone who’s ever bought anything there.

I have always assumed they were just a [store]front for some other, illicit activity.

The ‘door” should have involved the process to become a legal citizen, not just a hole in the wall.

Thanks to whoever put this together. Brilliant using the Dems to the video.

Unfortunately, I am skeptical of the wall. Only because it is going to be under constant physical attack. 24 hours a day. All along the wall.

I don’t think the wall will be made of wood.

The door was not a hole in the wall, but an ornate example of entry which required opening. Yes, it could have been more specific, but it’s vagueness is, from one perspective, its brilliance.

Excellent!

Amazing how demos can flip. They flipped on gay marriage and immigration faster than they did on slavery and civil rights.

It’s all about political winds to them and staying in power. They really don’t have anything to offer voters so they just catch the next gust of wind.

84 lumber services mostly contractors....

The contractors that use them employ large groups of illegal Aliens....

I had a neighbor (American) who used to be employed as a carpenter who hasn’t been able to get a job for several years because illegals keep undercutting his wage from contractors....

He now bids small jobs directly, makes a good living but his margins are getting squeezed again by illegals bidding those jobs directly...

Any heavy set Italianish looking guys sitting out front in cheap lawn chairs. Where I live it's sandwich shops, coffee shops, vacuum cleaner repair, cigar shops, pizza places etc.

But legal immigration would involve simply driving to the border. No need to go on a multi-day quest hopping trains and walking across the desert.

I love that the Hyundai ad was the one that ran before the video on YouTube.

Seems like wherever I’ve lived, there has been an 84 Lumber...which sooner or later goes out of business.

I’ve been inside - very bare bones and caters to contractors more than the general public.

Notably, there has always been a fence around the outdoor lumber storage...wouldn’t want anyone sneaking in I guess.

84 Lumber is appealing to their customers, the home builders, who employ hundreds of thousands of illegals aliens to build homes cheap, which gives them more profit. ICE should check construction sites across the country and sue the pants off the contractors who employ illegals. That would dry up one of the reasons illegals come to the USA and it takes jobs from American citizens.

Indeed, 84 Lumber is just appealing to their customer base...illegal employers. It would be a lot easier to arrest and imprison illegal employers rather than chasing millions of illegal immigrants with nothing to lose, but for some reason (can’t imagine why) the authorities are reluctant to do that.

As an employer and small business owner (under 25 employees) the Federal government doesn’t provide the tools or legal cover to check...

Illegal Aliens almost always have false papers....SSN cards, Drivers License etc. to seek employement. Virtually impossible in most cases to detect...

Even if I suspect I cannot legally ask, nor would I likely receive an honest answer....If the person is a legitimate US citizen, I’m open to a lawsuit....

Give me the tools and I would check.....until then, no law is needed. BTW, not a tool that takes 30-60 days to verify. The small business world spins on a dime....
