Precisely! Legal migrants welcome.

In all of professional baseball, major and minor league, how many of the players are *illegal* immigrants?

Zero. None. Nada.

In fact, every Spring, there's almost always one or two players that have delays getting (legally) back into the states thanks to a visa issue. But the teams make absolutely sure that everything is legal and above board with their Latin America (or Japanese or Korean) talent.

This is true even for those having escaped Cuba: there's a process for establishing residency in another country and the State Dept. gets involved to give each one legal clearance before coming to the States.

Pro teams will have the best possible immigration lawyers making sure their players are properly documented. I also expect they have the best possible accountants available to make sure no player gets into tax problems. Sports tax is incredibly complicated because there are many jurisdictions, including in come cases foreign countries.

They immigrated legally. No problem with that.

What part of legal migrants does this person not understand. The left is always trying to make this about being anti immigration by purposely making no distinction between legal and illegal immigration. This is a illegal immigration crisis brought on by a leftist government not a legal immigration crisis as there is no legal immigration crisis

As usual the left conflates illegal aliens with LEGAL immigrants.

ROTFL!!! Funny stuff. And the MLB doesn’t have one team named the “Miggies”.

So, it’s not really the WORLD Series, it’s the Immigrant Miggy Series. Playing baseball Americans don’t want to play.

Yup. Author doesn’t distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. Most professional athletes are NOT illegal immigrants.

Sorry Erika. You don’t understand how America works. If it wasn’t for fat white guys, sitting on their asses in the stands, swilling beer and watching the big boyz play baseball, there wouldn’t be a World Series. Sorry to bust your pinata with a three bagger. You need to stick to cooking and gardening.
