No "American citizen's medical needs are being neglected in liberal cities due to the illegal aliens". which is a bold faced lie.

I don't support illegal immigration but your hatred for them is appalling to say the least.
Actually, it sounds like you do. We are the world stuff ends when you can't find people to pay for it. If you want to donate your life savings to helping those that come here illegally? Bless our heart.

The neighbor kid doesn't want to work in the fields. They want better. You can laugh all you want but it will destroy our economy. Tell me why we have H2B visas instead of employing our own. We should ask Trump since he doesn't employ americans in mar a largo.

This is nothing new. Both sides are exploiting this cheap labor and you and I are picking up the tab. I for one am sick of it. If you want to donate to these businesses feel free. I'll choose American even if it costs more. Pay more than slave wages our own will do it, but people, not saying you, don't want to.

And are you sick of picking up the tab for people who don't have health insurance. Our costs go up because of them.

Evidently, you haven't heard that these people are " stealing OUR jobs". I don't know about you, but my dream job is to work in the hot sun for 12-14 hours a day, picking fruit and vegetables. Or, doing lawn maintenance in the same broiling sun. Plus, those jobs pay Yuge money, and the benefits are terrific.

Yep, as soon as we get rid of all these illegals, we Americans can finally get a piece of the pie and move up to these cushy jobs.

It sounds like you are making a great case for the wall, and/or more border patrol. I agree.

A wall isn't going to stop illegals until American employers stop hiring them.

You are barking up the wrong tree.

as i recall most migratory farm workers have legal visas so they can pick crops in the US.

We speak Spanish so we can talk in our own circle because for some of us it's easier. Legal BTW..

Automation will kill the illegal workforce, and the American. So we can all be in the same boat.
