I assume you are referring to the FOQNAs (formerly the FROBLs)...
As a student of history, I see scary parallels with the fall of Rome and the barbarian/Goth invasions with what is happening to us.
So am I.
The saddest part is that Dan lost his wife and those two kids have no mom.
I know about the housing.....I can't believe with no land either......$500,000/$600,000.....for ugly old houses!!!!!!! Just because they're 2 family.....I can imagine the illegals all over the place....too bad...it used to be fun back in the
late 70's/80's.....I used to work at Travelers which was next to that bar...I think the "Sunrise Inn" it....We
also used to go to the Candlelight Inn on Central Ave....and Bagle Nash was the big midnight munchee's place.
Can you provide some links to this "overwhelming effort" ?
Of course he won't (and can't). Being a troll (even one that claims to be a "Well-Educated Economist") means never having to respond to questions.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

what are you going to do, make the argument that "small business" would be devasted without these low cost workers. you know what, let them go out of business. if a landscape service has to raise its price to hire legal workers, and the price they have to charge their customers goes up to the point they are unwilling to pay - let them either go out of business, or invest in automated mowing machines. either way, my lawn will get cut because I'll do it myself. same with contractors, if their costs rise and their customers are unwilling to pay - those people can fix their own homes. And if each of us has to pay an extra $2 for a meal at a restaurant, we'll pay it, we won't starve to death.
This argument about small business "needing these workers", taken to the extreme, would you also tell us we had to support slavery so these small businesses owners could have acess to zero-cost labor if that's what they needed to stay in business? at some point, the costs the society has to bear exceeds the value of these small business owners to the society.
Hopefully this painting contractor who hired this killer will be sued into oblivion.
yes, I would "feel better" (not that that term applies here, but I will use it since you did) if it were a legal immigrant, because at least we would have had some chance to do a screening process on that person before they were legally admitted. and to be honest, we are likely to get better candidates to be upstanding citizens from those who come legally, then someone who comes illegally. That's the way legal immigration into the US has always worked, and it has worked very well in the past. Its broken now because of the flood of illegals, we can't have an honest legal immigration system that we both agree the US needs, so long as we have this massive illegals situation.
Yeah, it's a typical...
Yours is the silliest comment that I've read so far today on Free Republic. Name one poster who wants to "lynch Hispanics".
She wasn't she was murdered, brutally, by an illegal immigrant and such murders and other violent crimes are now common everyday events in every city and state in the USA, thanks largely to people like you.
If we started the process of catching and deporting all of the illegal aliens who are currently in our country, it wouldn't happen overnight. The whole process would probably take a few years at least, perhaps longer. While we are catching and deporting the illegal aliens, we could start letting in more legal immigrants to take their places. In this way, employers wouldn't find themselves short of needed workers, and our economy wouldn't be negatively affected.
My stomping grounds!
THROW THEM OUT AND HAND THEM THE BILL FOR THE FLIGHT.
So, would this murder go in the debit column?
When the boomers retire, and all the illegals are evacuated under your plan, our economy will sink into a depression that would make 1929-1933 look like a walk in the park.
"Also, you don't have the slightest whiff of a clue, of what would happen to our lives if every illegal immigrant were thrown out of the country today."
Well, had they all been thrown out last week one woman would still be alive and two children would still have their mother.
The #1 problem with Bush's proposal (aside from the fact that it is an amenesty in a guest worker guise) is that it makes no provision for border security, makes no changes in the visa system that invites overstayers, makes no change in the ridiculous "lottery" system brought to us by Sen. Kennedy. Other than that, it might be supportable.
The current system, or rather lack of system, encourages law breaking by all sorts of people, most of whom aren't even really criminals.
And it seems we are stuck with bilingualism, which is too bad, because I never wanted to live in an Hispanic nation, and now I do. Look at Latin America and ask yourself, if that what you want America to become?
So that the baby boomers can get their SS and medicare, the rest of us have to live with these criminal invaders who are causing us to go the way of Rome in exactly the same way.
Wonderful.
