In the EU there are workers travelling from Poland and other more eastern countries that work super hard.
Legal aliens ain't the problem. ILLEGAL aliens are big trouble. Period.

Donald Trump, the self professed master negotiator, can't even negotiate with our friendliest neighbor and ally. Mexico is supposed to be easy. How is he supposed to deal with other world leaders who don't look on us nearly as favorably?

Please provide a link that Trump can't find American workers for a fair wage.
Trump will hire foreign workers to staff Mar-a-Lago this winter | TheHill

It was all over the news a couple months ago.

It's a long-standing habit of his - Trump Ripped Off Illegal Polish Immigrants For Work On Construction Of Trump Tower (VIDEO) | RedState

Note - I cherry-picked to refer you to only conservative sites. But this habit of his is pretty well-known, I can only wonder why you don't know it.

You're country, millions of your people(illegals), and drug cartels have **** on the US for decades.

If illegals come through your country from any other country we will deport them back to your country.


The days of getting **** on are over

I do not accept Mexico's immigration policy.

Mexico has nothing to offer us. We don't need them. They need us. We surely don't need what they been sending us.

I want to know what the corporations/ companies are saying knowing they will lose their cheap labor - they are the ones who pull the puppet strings in the congress and have lobbied against E-verify.
I want to know when they are all gone or hiding- and not working- how that will affect the rest of us.
You really think your kids are going to work in that hot sun for $10 an hour hammering on the roof or painting 15 story high condos or washing their windows? Pick veggies or whatever else comes out of the ground?
The strawberry man lost 1/2 his business when he was raided. He could NOT get employees and eventually asked anyone wanted to pick just come get it- that happened near Lakeland Fl


Anywhere from half to three-quarters of some 1.6 million field workers in the country are thought to be illegal immigrants. Yet only 35,000 foreigners applied for seasonal agriculture visas last year even though there is no limit on the number of H-2A visas that could be issued. U.S. employers must initiate that process.Businesses, immigrants urge limits on changes - News - Wilmington Star News - Wilmington, NC

Mexico is friendly while they take advantage of us. Not the kind of friendship I would want.

I don't believe anything I read nowadays regardless of the source. There are many Republicans who don't like Trump either. New's sources tend to leave out vital details these days.

Why should anyone be "hammering on the roof" for 10 an hour. That's ridiculous. Do you have some illegal business with illegal workers? If so, YOU are the problem.

10 dollars an hour working on roofs? That needs to pay 20 or more.
