There is no denying it if what you say is true that some legals are less than productive. How many of those Bosnian immigrants entered the country and imeadiatly began committing crimes? Rape, murder, ID theft drug dealing, robbery? Quite a few illegals have committed the mentioned crimes and there is no denying that either. Add to that theft of social services. No denying that either.

It looks like the anti immigration radicals are desperate, this thread is an obvious troll, yet is the longest one in the forum. These radicals portray
this workers from sob, as more of a threat than Al Quieda, when the reality is that the group with the lowest incidence of crime in US are the immigrants (legal or illegal), some people are just blind-folded by hate and would never accept the facts. Now that we have a multi-cultural government that in fact, better represents our multi-cultural society, I see very little chance for extremism against the immigrants as part of an official position, instead of blaming others for our own blunders, we should
work hard for our country to prevail.

Not sure what your rant is all about. ????
By our country I assume you mean the United States of America. I also assume you mean by extremism against immigrants you mean legal immigrants. As all illegals are in fact criminals and are not citizens of the USA. They in fact are not even legal residents of the USA. I don't recall a post comparing illegals to Al Qaeda nor stating that illegals are the greater threat. That said you never answered the questions I posed to you. No threat, no judgment intended. I was just curious.

You were right about one thing: if not trolling, it had to have been made in jest.

But you brought up Al Qaeda, and that is serious. I get riled up about posts that promote tinhatting and fear mongering, especially towards one segment of society. I've had a lot of flaming arrows sent my way over it. But if it's so easy to cross the border, it's only a matter of time before the real enemies of this country use that weakness against us. Maybe not Al Qaeda specifically, but any extremist group. The State Department lists 44 foreign terrorist organizations. The border security should be a huge priority.

News Flash: They are already here. As stated, it's very easy to enter this country, as evidenced by the millions of foreigners illegally “seeking a better life.”

No, Benicar. I was referring to people who hijack planes and blow up buildings. That would be my definition of a terrorist. Not an orange picker.

And it is too easy to cross, I agree.

They not only do the jobs you don't want to do they also take away jobs that some might want or need to do in this economy.
