In other words, if something does not belong to you, you need to keep your hands off it.
Are you saying illegals covet something? Because they come here, take low paying jobs that others don't want, and work hard to get ahead? That doesn't seem to make sense.

Uh, they are taking low paying jobs that the employers don't want to pay an American a fair wage for, not that Americans don't want them. They steal taxpayer benefits also.

If a job is the only thing they are after, why do they come here? Why don't they go to Brazil? Or Argentina? Or some other country?

It sounds to me as though YOU covet their low-paying jobs—except you want to be paid much more for the same labor.

This is the sort of thinking that labor unions propagated for the better part of the 20th century. It ended up in getting many of our manufacturing jobs sent overseas. Are you in a labor union perhaps, or in favor of the leftist labor union agenda?

Those places would be a much longer swim than the Rio Grande.

Uhuh. If Brazil offered them more more freebies and benefits than the US they would find a way to get there.

I certainly hope this doesn't happen. Then we would lose a good source of cheap, hard working labor.

By black and white, don’t you mean legal vs. illegal?

What would Jesus think about each of you based solely on your posts in this thread?
God’s will? I think not! God does not condone lying, cheating, and stealing. Nor does he condone the parasitic behavior by illegals who come here for the express purpose of giving birth so they can sit at home and let the taxpayers support them.

2 Th 3:10 - For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

We? As in you hire them? I sure as h%ll don't. Only the illegal businesses hire them that I know of. And if they are hiring Illegals they are indeed an illegal Business.
