Don't sink to their level.

This is rich people exploiting cheap labor and that’s why we have never adopted rational immigration policies. It’s more profitable to pay an illegal cash under the table than to hire a US citizen at fair wages and pay payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workman’s comp, and benefits. We made slavery illegal and this replaced it.

We need cheap labor to do all the tasks American workers refuse to do but the immigrants need visas, identification, and the basic protections the rest of us have.
This used to be the case but nowadays everybody is coached to ask jefe for asylum which, if granted, comes with all sorts of very expensive taxpayer-provided goodies.

I work for a living Mike. But I'm back.....

Now, I'm still waiting to get my question answered......are you an illegal or profiting from them?

As far as Trump, I'm dead serious and you are ignoring what the Left did to sabotage him during the campaign. Who bullied who here? Give me a break.....

As far as religion in public schools.....The Left takes it too far.....the children can't say Merry Christmas and have a party?! Who are you hurting? Maybe you don't agree, but God is part of everything we do, always has been. "In God we trust"? It always will be. Do I feel we should be preaching the Bible in public schools...no.

Is that the answer you were waiting for? Now, answer mine....

Welcome to the forum, and if there is any way I can assist you please feel free to reach out. I also spent nearly a year on Martha's Vineyard and have some familiarity with the place, an island you are also apparently interested in.
Thank you for being so kind and welcoming.

To the posters that don't agree with me, I have a question for you.

Do you think your loved ones are safer now that over 2,000,000 (78 possible terrorist) people have crossed the border illegally?

2M+ (annual pace) is the number arrested by the border patrol.

I heard the migrants at Otis Air Force were each given debit cards with 3k on them.

Arrested? Surely you meant taken to the welcome committee instead, amigo! And more importantly, how many more just walked right in without any interaction with border patrol?
