If they are truly needed to do these jobs, they should be given work permits so they could work legally.
Those 8 million WORKING picking oranges and strawberries, and washing dishes in diners and mowing your lawn are not the real problem.
It is those other 22 million illegals who are feeding at the trough of welfare, many committing serious crimes and voting illegally are the real problem.
It is better to have an inevitable recession than have the non inevitable but more destructive elimination of the rule of law.
There should be work permits.
Win win.
You CANNOT deport every single illegal immigrant in this country. It’s just not possible.
It’s like meiosis and genetics. You can’t understand genetics without first understanding meiosis.
You cannot deport every single illegal immigrant. Doesn’t work that way. Just doesn’t.
Nothing matters, EXCEPT THEY ARE HERE ILLEGALLY!
ROUNDEM UP! DEPORTEM!
SENDEM BACK TO THE SHITHOLE COUNTRIES THEY CAME FROM!
If 8 million can work under the table and not pay as much in taxes.... WHY THE F&^*&^!!! do I pay the IRS every Year!!!
First they called people who wanted to stop illegal immigration 'racists' and 'haters.
When that didn't work they pleaded for pity. 'Won't someone please think of the women and children'.
Now that has failed so the new tactic is 'come on guys. Let's just admit these people are here and let them stay.'
so returning 10 million criminals back to their own countries
will cause layoffs of Americans?
creepers! these commie-leftists are NUTS!
irrational
any job that they’re doing here now, can and will be done by a legal American citizen (and despite PDJT’s significant economic improvements, there are still many Americans who’d like to get back to work after the Obammy (deliberate) depression years
“Jobs Americans Won’t Do Anymore”- GW Bush
Cut way back on welfare and food stamps and you would see those jobs filled with legal Americans. It would save a ton of tax money, create a more responsible citizenry and eliminate “para espanol, oprima dos”.
This is, of course, nonsense.
There are millions of Americans who are currently choosing to not work (many supported by foolishly indulgent parents). So many of these citizens would benefit from lower wage, entry level jobs. Illegals are stealing jobs, that's that.
Oh, and what about labor unions?
Shouldn't the Union gangsters be more about the jobs thefts from union members by non-union illegals?
The left loves diversity in other people’s neighborhoods.
So 8 million are working illegally...and 25 million are collecting welfare illegally.
The NY Times has been spouting this same crap for years. It is not just an economic issue. In fact it is more a cultural and sovereignty issue that if not corrected will ultimately destroy us.
The Liberals and RINOs devised this system to justify allowing illegals into the country.
They created laws that pay American citizens to NOT WORK.
Then they entice illegals to come to America by giving them welfare, EBT food cards, free medical, free schools, and social security retirement.
Once the illegals are here politicians have made it easy for them and employers to circumvent laws so the illegals can be employed.
Then they tell us we must allow the illegals to remain here and continue to work or it will collapse the economy.
Replace this with “slaves in the south” and how economies needed them. Just because you come to rely on something DOES NOT MAKE IT RIGHT.
nyt quackery.
It probably won’t change because the focus is on border security. We can’t even get a wall built much less round up illegals in this country or tighten workplace rules. One the dems get back the Presidency they will flood this country with illegals.
Picking crops or $#!++ing on them? I miss having Romaine lettuce ...
Liberal Democrats...decades and decades of needing the lower class to serve their petty needs. Can’t beat the European out of them.
The only thing that has changed is now they get everyone else to pay for their slaves.
Clean your own toilet you lazy liberal piece of human scum.
