Lots of senior citizens are without work because of illegals - ever think of that?

Knock me over the head with a feather. If a senior citizen after 50 years or more in the work place can be replaced by a Mexican with a 6th grade education then they made some seriously poor decisions along the way. And besides, I have seen no hispanics greeting people at the door of Walmart.

If a Senior citizen needs to work at all, they made some seriously poor decisions along the way.

So unless people are perfect like you, they deserve to suffer for their "bad decisions". Nice attitude. People who have made poor decisions don't deserve to have their jobs taken by people who ignore our laws and do as they damn well please.

How ironic you say that? Most illegal immigrants made a poor decision to come here to work hard and support their families too. I say they don't deserve to be deported and suffer for their bad decisions.

They deserve to be deported in order to save Americans Billions of dollars of tax dollars per year

Theres not a thing ironic about what he said. The illegals are breaking the law with their poor decisions.

Let's suppose this senior citizen lived in a modest home in a middle income neighborhood. Over a year's time, three of the houses on her block were converted into clown houses. The neighborhood she had lived in for decades turned into a cesspool and she ended up selling her home for much less than it had been worth 5 years ago. She had been counting on the money in her home to help pay for her later years. Now she needs to supplement her retirement funds. What mistake did she make? What poor choice? Has it ever occurred to you that there are people in the US who have not had everything handed to them?

There's a little bit of a difference between a senior citizen who has made some not so good decisions in their life, and someone who illegally enters a country, earns wages ILLEGALLY, uses social services paid for by taxpayers yet does not pay taxes on their under the table wages, don't you think?
