immigrants contribute to our economy and buy things. from the point of view of american business immigrants are more necessary to the economy than a 50 year old, sitting in a recliner, eating ice cream, bitching about immigrants.
The real issue in this thread is about how the government of the United States has used a false and twisted interpretation of the Constitution, the supreme LAW of the land, to force law-abiding citizens to accept these problems against their will. It's not about how illegals work hard doing jobs Americans supposedly won't do.
Excuse me, but I weed my land (500 hours of it so far this season) and I have never hired an illegal alien. Many illegals make $10-15 per hour doing the work I do. Those ARE jobs Americans will take.
Not a few are Arabs, Central and South Americans, and Chinese; people who PAID coyote smugglers to be here. They commit a disproportionate amount of crime. They are overwhelming our hospitals and are a public health hazard. They are taxing the resources that support our schools. Not a few mean to harm our country, not just work a job. Many run drugs. A few mean to complete acts of terrorism.
None of those problems respect a country of origin. It isn't a race problem. It's a rate problem, it's a crime problem, and it's a public health problem. There are more than we can clothe, feed, heal, and educate because so many are NOT self-supporting. They are a danger to this country.
The United States government is acting in the interest of criminal, financial, and political interests, ADVERSE to the will of the people. The vast majority of Americans oppose illegal immigration, including a large proportion of first-generation legal immigrants. Those facts mean that in this respect, the government is acting in an illegal fashion and everybody knows it. It produces a climate in which the respect for the rule of law decays. History teaches that when a government loses its legitimacy with the prople, its society descends into chaos.
Your obstinately single-sided view of this matter betrays your own obsessive racism and is an abuse of this forum. Take your viscious race baiting elsewhere.
"It isn't a race problem. It's a rate problem, it's a crime problem and it's a public health problem."
This is worth repeating for all the race-baiters on this thread that may have missed it. ;^)
