And what’s the solution amigo, are we sending the ten million or so asylum jefe asylum perjurers Uncle Joe let waltz across the border back home or are we sending them straight to the ballot box?

Heck, in the 80s and 90s around Boston, undocumented Irish laborers made up a huge percentage of the painting crews. They were fine though, for obvious reasons.
Amigo, no one complained because our elected officials were not handing them trillions of taxpayer dollars in exchange for their votes.

If they really want to work why are there so many unfilled positions?

Some come here to cause harm. You know, like gang members, drug dealers and child traffickers. It's a myth that all illegal aliens and so-called "migrants" are sweet, innocent people who only want jobs.

The recent election has developed in an aggravated form every evil against which the American party protested. Foreign allies have decided the government of the country -- men naturalized in thousands on the eve of the election. Again in the fierce struggle for supremacy, men have forgotten the ban which the Republic puts on the intrusion of religious influence on the political arena. These influences have brought vast multitudes of foreign-born citizens to the polls, ignorant of American interests, without American feelings, influenced by foreign sympathies, to vote on American affairs; and those votes have, in point of fact, accomplished the present result.

Amigo, why work when you can get all sorts of goodies for free? We only got a few bused here so far and we’re already giving them $139M.

Also what’s your “solution” that you keep babbling about - send them home, or send them to the ballot box?

It's a myth that's actively propagated by our corrupt media. Don't forget the 100+ people on the terror watch list who have been intercepted this year. That's only those intercepted.

We have people born here that don't even want to work. Its actually sad how many seem to not want to work or are sick of it. A friend of mine quit working as an HR exec at 55 because she was sick of whole pronoun thing and fierce diversity and inclusion efforts. She had at one point enjoyed her job too. It's laughable that people think there are so many poor starving South Americans that want to come here to work. Some do and some will but most just want the dole and an ebt card. Why wouldn't they?? The scary thing is how easily this country gives things out. We don't even expect people to work anymore. It's like oh you don't feel like working? No problem, you'll still get enough money, food and housing from the government to survive. You can sit in your house all day, keep having kids, send them them to school, hell you can even try to get free housing in a better town with better public schools for those kids you keep crapping out. Don't worry about the rest of us who actually give a sh@t.
