Thank you, Chuck and Nancy, for doing everything you can to allow an endless, cheap supply of labor for my business. Without that supply and your support, I would have to pay my workers American wages, which would mean less for me and my private consumption.

By not having to contribute to Social Security, Medicare and unemployment funds as well as not having to follow OSHA and environmental regulations, I save a ton of money! I know where my vote is going on Tuesday - the same place my donations have gone! Go, Democrats!

You should do some research before you start trying to nail the immigration issue on "Chuck and Nancy". Neither party has done anything to stop illegal immigration for the past 50 years and "Chuck and Nancy" as leaders of the minority party have very little influence on policy or legislation. Republicans refused to vote on a bill for mandatory e-verify in 2006, and Reagan granted citizenship to 3 million illegals so you might want to consider that before you try to blame democrats for this mess.

And just to clarify...most illegals do not work under the table, they pay taxes on their wages, they just can't get benefits from the programs they pay into.

In the judge's chambers, when not actually ruling.

And there's plenty more where those came from.

Signage outside Churches proves that liberals are welcoming immigrants? I had no idea that all Christians were liberals. Oh yeah and the dramatic picture with the guys in the stadium stands - that was taken in Germany

You asked where the liberals were who are welcoming immigrants. In response, I posted several pictures of signs that welcome immigrants and refugees. (Unless signs have developed the capability of producing themselves, I'm going on the assumption that they were made by people.) You didn't specify American liberals, so I felt no need to restrict myself to the United States.

As for the sign by the church, all it proves is that this particular church welcomes immigrants and refugees. Some churches are liberal. Some aren't. Some Christians are liberal. Some aren't.

There are plenty of liberals welcoming immigrants and refugees, and a simple Google search will show you lots of pictures similar to what I posted. Why do you find it so hard to accept this?

Yes there are people who want immigrants treated fairly and not all of them are liberal, nor are they advocating for illegal immigration. The Catholic Church has been providing assistance to immigrants and refugees in the US for over 100 years, but 76% of white catholics identify as being Republican.

Life is complex, you can't reduce every issue to conservative vs liberal.

True enough. But I'm willing to bet that at least 99% of those "immigrants and refugees welcome" signs were posted by virtue-signalling liberals. Conservatives who want to help immigrants and refugees don't post signs touting their goodness; they just find a way to help, quietly and out of the spotlight.
