As for fruit picking there are unlimited visas for legal, foreign pickers because it's not a career job for Americans and is only seasonal work. My ilk? I wasn't even born back then but my ancestors were the Germans and Irish that you mentioned and they along with the citizens of this country helped to build this country and regardless of any sentiments against them they came here legally through Ellis Island not illegally! The American citizens at the time weren't just sitting on their porches sipping tea either!


I worked all my life as I said before. Your nasty remarks about retirees drawing on SS that they paid into all their lives is utterly despicable! You're one of the most hateful people in this forum. As I said, good-bye for good. Seek help for your hatred and resentment of Americans. You're seething in it.
I wasnt being hateful, I was being instructive on how your socialist insecurity works because you apparently dont know. Ahh no good deed goes unpunished

His tax cut didn't go nearly far enough. The tax rate should be 0%.

Of course, like the complete moron he is, he signed the biggest spending bill in U.S. history, then completely threw away the tax cuts by enacting new import taxes on businesses and consumers.

Didn't expect that answer now, did you?

Of course, anything that does not comport with your ideology or view is ____ist, ____phobic, etc.

Regardless of the source, how about addressing the issue at hand, which undoubtedly has the right focus, if not the results you'd like them to disseminate.

You're right. Anyone who wants legal immigrants to come in reasonable numbers that we can provide jobs and resources for without it negatively impacting our own citizens is viewed as a hater, racist, xenophobe, etc. by the liberal left. If you object to illegal immigration and want our immigration laws enforced you are viewed in the same way. If you want those from known terrorist countries vetted better or turned down you earn the same labels. WTH is wrong with these people?

Well then thanks for validating the data for us, it's much appreciated.




Any group that gets this kind of response from leftists must be telling the truth about illegal immigration.

Where in your beloved constitution does it give the fed guv the authority to throttle immigration based on ...well, anything? Ill answer for you since I'm on ignore. Answer: Nowhere
Why am I not surprised someone with your handle has no idea whats in the constitution?

Reality is the marketplace determines the need for jobs,skill sets, resources, etc., add private borders and the state can keep out of it all together.

I can't believe that those lies are still being repeated

Americans certainly will take jobs in poultry plants. Who do you think worked those jobs before we got infested with illegals? Americans did them and they were paid enough to propel them into the ranks of the lower middle class. Once illegals infested the country and became a dime a dozen, wages got depressed, safe working conditions deteriorated and benefits declined. When GW Bush was president, a Swift packing plant was raided in CO and Americans lined up that very same day to take those jobs.

As for produce not being picked---pure BS. Farmers have an agricultural visa program that they can use. This visa program has no caps on it. Farmers who use this visa program don't have problems getting their crops picked. It's the sleazy farmers who refuse to use the program and instead opt for cheap, exploitable, illegal labor are the ones who have problems when there are crackdowns.

They do if they are blackmailed into it by the leftist organizations.
