These pointless "I know you are but what am I?" responses you're posting are ridiculous. If you want to try to defend your perspective, then do so with intellectual integrity, and defend the practice of keeping immigrants flowing into our nation to provide businesses with cheap labor. Defend giving those businesses a free pass to exploit lax immigration laws for profit. Defend the impact that preference of yours has on Americans seeking living wage employment, when competing for work against a never-ending flow of desperate illegal immigrants.

The inane self-blindness of this nonsensical, content-less defense helps underscore the vacuous nature of your comments. You aren't even posting anything substantial enough to refute - just pointlessly inane self-ratifying fluff.

So let's pass rules that require every student to prove immunization status, to enter school. Oh wait - we already have such rules. I have an idea: Enforce such rules!

Given that I repudiated a perspective you preferred, your saying so means nothing. How about if you don't have anything worthwhile to say about the topic, you say nothing at all? That would work out better than your lamely trying to make it seem like your had a legitimate comment to make.

I had to laugh at the comment you were responding to. Afraid of someone getting an education? Um no, ticked off that we are educating illegal aliens in "our" schools when they should be getting educated in their own countries at their government's expense.

Except, of course, we're not actually talking about educating illegal aliens (something which I personally oppose). No one is posting in support of that.

We're talking about, in part, educating citizens who are children of illegal aliens. There is no special pass you have for dumbing down the facts of this issue, to try to avoid the inescapable indefensible nature of the outrage you would prefer to express unencumbered by the truth.

Have you ever been asked by a government authority to "prove (your) immunization status"? All students in all schools must provide immunization records. Many states have generous opt-out laws. The vast majority of opt-outers are highly educated high income parents. Mexicans are better immunized than Americans.
Mexico more effective than U.S. at immunizing children(BARF ALERT)

There are jobs, people just aren't hiring for them.
