Is there a denial of a new Mercedes Benz cost? OMG, cause I'm gonna put it on my taxes.
No, saying that a group of people without an education costs labor markets more in declining production. So it's not at all like not having a Mercedes.

Oh, also...not having an education leads to more crime (increase police costs), more likely to seek public assistance, more likely to NOT spend money (thus decrease sales rev. for companies), also less tax rev. due to inability to look for better employment.

Labor market? The "labor" snaking across the border is said to have anywhere from a 6th to 9th grade education. Their children are legal by definition and loophole called the 14th and can't be included in the illegal labor pool.

There is no benefit derived from educating a 21 year old vegetable picker.

Very funny - I was thinking the exact same thing.

Interestingly, I'm a member of similar message board which always has one particular poster who blatantly employs multiple accounts and usernames to push a pro-amnesty, open borders agenda. I must admit though, he is persistent.

Taking a job either under the table or with a stolen document is illegal. I'm sure you already knew that.

Loosen up. Lifes too short. After my mom died, my dad got all wound up against illegal immigrants. Doctor prescribed benicar. He also suffers from hypertension, diabetes...it's a mess. I just think that while we need to control borders, why do we need to have this really strong 'hatred' (not hatred, because you all seem like decent folk, but something dark about the way you guys write about illegal immigrants) Almost as if they are personally killing your family dog. I don't know...
No, no such drama involved just aggrevation over our porous borders and the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws which has allowed 12-20 million illegals to enter our country mostly from Mexico and points south and the toll and costs it has taken on our country. If some of those entering illegally are terrorists (and I am sure they are) it will be more than the family dog that will die. Why isn't all of this alarming to you?

Of course it is stealing when it is an illegal alien doing it. They don't have the right to compete for jobs in this country.

Until he quotes himself without logging on to the "other" account

Yep! The handwriting is on the wall, isn't it? I'll play along for awhile but not much longer. At least up and until the personal attacks start anyway. Me thinks someone got their widdle feelings hurt because hardly anyone would respond to them anymore under their other handle.
