An unemployment rate of 5.4% indicates a very healthy employment picture. These illegals are not stealing jobs. They are making the rest of us more prosperous.
I am with you. The one thing that economist always say is that they wish Europe had a Mexico. Well expansion has given it one and the population has collectively wet its panties over the prospect of people actually willing to take the jobs they arent willing to do.
Have you ever seen the low quality of service in Europe. It is because a great number of jobs get unfilled and that the people who fill them are the bottom of the barrel.
Hard working immigrants are middle class immigrants who never had a chance in their native countries. The ones who stay behind are either the elite or those too lazy or stupid to get out.
Americans seem to forget that only a few generations back their great grand parents, or grand-parents or parents came to America for a better life too. The fact that they were welcome by the legal system is touching. But you cannot blame people for wanting a better life. And the illegals themselves help to make the lives of American citizens that much richer.
So please point out the obvious. There are a great deal of socialists in conservative clothing at FR who need pointing.
The thinkers behind the anti-illegal immigration movement don't believe in fairy tales, why do you insist otherwise? We know it can't and won't be done overnight.
But once we can gain the upper hand and secure our borders, then we can go about the process of weeding out the illegals that are here and replacing them with out-of-work underpriviledged American citizens and giving those citizens a decent wage, one that stays here in the US and isn't sent out of the country as a secondary form of Foreign Aid.
Sheesh, how stupid do you think we are?
