Oh yes, all the American steel workers, doctors, teachers, police, firefighters, armed forces personnel, engineers, truck drivers, financiers, pharmacists, welders, carpenters, and so on. Oh what a lazy bunch we are. We all go to work to loaf, cheat, scam, and have fun, not to provide for ourselves and families and to further build up this country and in some cases even risk life and limb for others.

I sure as hell would rather have a hard working Salvadoran illegal in this country than some lifetime criminal african-american from the projects. If only we could deport them and keep the illegals. sigh

Yeah, sure. Because we all know as a whole illegals are just problem-free and need none of our limited resources to stay alive.

And last time I checked, towns swarming with illegals are just great, the kind we all want to move to and send our kids to school in. They drive up real estate. They're the new gentrifiers.

You might want to take a spin into some Eastern PA towns like Hazelton and Allentown.

Enjoy moving to Valhalla, oops, the whitest interior state you can find.
So if not brutality how does one keep invaders out? Is it done with kid gloves?

It is obvious why many come here: to improve their lot by escaping their squalor ridden countries.

It's obvious either you didn't read them in entirety or understand them yourself considering you entirely missed the points I made, which was not WHY they are coming here.

You gonna help them?

After 15 pages I must add my mantra:


The United States is FULL and many citizens have no work. So STAY HOME.


We have no need for more immigrants, legal or illegal.

Agreed. I don't understand why overpopulation is considered a good thing. It isn't. Human peoples have done more damage to this planet then every other living being combined.

Question for you. I see that the general consensus is that these immigrants are TYPICALLY noble and hard working. If this is the case for the AVERAGE immigrant, then why are they attempting to flee from the squalor that THEIR people created? If they are all on AVERAGE so hard working and ingenious, then how come their own countries don't reflect this? After all, if a typical population is so hard working and industrious and ambitious, their county should behold a higher civilization and perhaps some of us would be seeking them for a new way.

How come this isn't so Writer Man?
Southern Italy is still worse off than much of Western Europe, yet Italian Americans outperform many other European American groups.

It could be their government that causes this problem, or a minority who are involved in gangs.

No one is saying overpopulation a good thing. Sounds like a logical fallacy to me.

Besides, birth rates in the US are below replacement level anyway, and the White American population is on the decline.
