I searched but did not see a thread already open for tonights speech. I think this is the most important speech the President will probably make for the remainder of his term.


Mod Note:
This could turn into a whack-a-troll thread. All immigration trolls that would like to participate should post here. It'll be interesting to see if we mods can whack the trolls faster than they can sign up new accounts.

Reminds me of the kid that was eating the yellow Lifesaver. Teacher says "it is what your mom calls your dad". Billy says "spit it out, it is @sshole"

"this is amnesty, and I oppose it"

Unfortunately some people think anything less than locking up or deporting illegal immingrants, is "amnesty".

I don't find anything wrong with a guest worker program or giving many of these people a reasonable and fair path to citizenship.

I don't care if some people call it amnesty or not.

The idea that we are going to deport millions of people simply isn't going to happen. That's reality.

Jobs Americans Won't Do"



That is an absolutely unacceptable concept.

I see hundreds of illegal Guatamalan, Honduran and Mexican iron workers and drywall piece workers on construction sites getting paid what Americans got paid 20 years ago.

And its not the construction companies who are pocketing the diffrenece, they have to bid based on illegal wage scales or lose the job to a competitor using illegals.

It is the developers who pocket the difference and it most certainly does not get passed down to the buyer.

Yep. My first job was 55 hours a week weeding a vineyard when I was 14. I spent the summer in the 100 degree heat outworking the Mexican labor crew in the field next door. American worker can and will do this work - if we end welfare.

It's the same. It has not worked before and it won't work now. The National Guard will only be operating snow cone trucks for the border patrol.

You can't be a Mexican-American. It is one or the other.
