Uh.... they are doing both.


Some are working hard for little pay, enriching the boss, and taking American jobs.


Others aren't doing much of anything other than collecting welfare.


Got it?

I survive doing high end finish work for wealthy clients.
Another good posting. This guy here is the person that we should be fighting for. BTW - I have no blue collar experience and can barely swing a hammer. But these are the kind of people and jobs that we need.

It's great that they're protesting.

Saves the trouble of hunting them down.

It's about time this country took control of illegal immigrants.

Fear: Across the United States, some unauthorized immigrants are keeping their children home from school and have suspended after-school visits to the public library. They have given up coffee shop trips and weekend restaurant dinners with family.
Some don't answer knocks on their doors. They're taping bed sheets over windows and staying off social media. Nervous parents and their children constantly exchange text messages and phone calls.
From New York to Los Angeles, a series of immigration arrests this week have unleashed waves of fear and uncertainty across immigrant communities.


"There are people that I work with who essentially want to go dark," said Cesar Vargas, one of the first immigrants without legal status in New York state to be sworn in as a lawyer.
"They don't want to be public in any way whatsoever. They spend less time on the street. They go to work and go straight back home. They don't go on Facebook. They put curfews on themselves."

Legal U.S. citizens should look for signs of illegality and report them to ICE and the border patrol.

We should all do our duty!

Because it's based on the scenario of them all being "rounded up" and deported all at once , which is a fallacy because:

1. No one has suggested doing it all at once.

and

2. Won't happen.

Also based on other fallacies, like the "jobs Americans won't do" BS.

Holy crap.....


Try going to just about any construction site in any major city in the country and take a look around.

When you're done with that look up the terms "metricula consular" and "taxpayer ID number"

They managed 850 a day under Obama, and now only 30, which means it will take hundreds of years to complete the task.

Look into President IKE's Operation Wetb*ck and how a few examples set off a mass self deportation.

It works. History proved it worked well.
Obama deported 850 per day, and Trump is deporting 30, and people celebrate and say "finally we are doing something".

We are doing a heck of a lot less than before, but feel free to celebrate. In several hundred years they will all be gone.
