How dare they want an honest job?

Contrary to popular belief, illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.


Exactly, it's a way to transfer wealth from the lower income workers to the wealthy.

Only 20years late for some sanity from the Globe!
The money statement for the open border idiots:
Mass immigration depresses their (poor US Citizens) wages because it floods the market with cheap labor. There are few jobs Americans won't do, just wages they should not have to accept.
The best way to raise wages for the poor is to restrict immigration. There are more illegal immigrants working in the United States than there are unemployed Americans who are looking for work or who have dropped out. Let's take care of our own first.
A 1997 study by the National Academy of Sciences found that wages of high school dropouts plummeted 30 percent between 1980 and 1985, with about half of the losses due to competition from immigrants. Citizens without a high school degree are another group of victims with no voice.
Companies that flout the law and prefer to hire low-wage, powerless illegal immigrants have an unfair advantage over those that play by the rules. Companies that comply with the law are victims of illegal immigration.

Biased reporting. Illegal immigration hurts ALL AMERICANS!

Exceptions: Individuals wed to their political parties, GOP or Dem. then again they are usually called politicians, not Americans although they often try to fly below the radar.

Wonder where Bush has been for 6 years, and we know where Kennedy has been.

Lax immigration hurts the poor

Well, it represents a conscious decision to replace our native, shiftless poor with an allegedly hard-working, diligent poor from somewhere else. It's a novel approach to the inner city poverty problem - and, for example, black gang violence in Los Angeles has been greatly reduced by the influx of Mexican gang violence, so the progress is obvious. ;)

Lax immigration hurts almost everyone.
