interesting thread. We need to close the border down because this is out of control, but i have three observations:

1) at least these guys were coming here to work. And we’ve all seen these guys on work crews, and they work their asses off.

2) you think inflation is bad now? How bad do you think it would be if these guys weren’t working for cheap and depressing wages?

3) lets say you need a new roof on your house. $12,000 estimate from one company, $16,000 from another. Same quality level. Do you actively pay the more expensive company if you know the cheaper one is using illegal labor? Do you check? or just go with the cheaper estimate?

Preaching to the choir. I live three miles from the border. I watch the white busses go out everyday to San Diego.

For the life of God people!! The people to blame for this tradegy are the leftists and JULIE WATSON and FABIOLA SÁNCHEZ!! Please Julie and Fabiola, as you are preparing to fall asleep at night just for a few minutes consider the possibility that your college professors were wrong.

We do not pity the deaths of the enemy in warfare. These deaths are just the deaths of enemy invaders, not poor migrants looking for a better life.

Poor analysis. What you do is artificially limit the financial costs to a single event. What about all the “free” health care and social hand outs given out to these invaders? And there are many other costs as well.

You and I are and our children will pay for these costs. It is also one of many reasons why this country is $30+ trillion in debt.

Illegals are lazy, dirty, third worlders who will sh!t in your sump pump and steal your tools. They do horrible work. That cheap roof will blow off in a year.
I don’t know where you got the idea they are good workers.
More dem propaganda.

Well. Maybe this will serve as a lesson to other would be invaders to use the front door legally or nor at all.

TSJ. Normally it is TSE (Elliott) but now it is for Jose.

Arrest ever last person named in this article. Prosecute and deport them.

All of them.
