Of course. Liberals adore the unlimited very cheap labor. Illegals will gladly work for very low wages and welfare handouts. Liberals choose illegals over all Americans for that reason.
Must be why conservatives are such strong supporters of labor unions.
The liberal elites won't allow the laws to be enforced because where will they get their dirt cheap servants and cheap votes?
Who will make their beds, mop their floors, mow their lawns, work in their factories for $6 an hour?
The ONLY purpose in having millions of cheap unskilled foreign workers pouring over the borders is for cheap labor. Millions of Americans will never work again, illegals are given preference in the workplace because they will work for cheaper wages then Americans can live on.
Obama is on the side of the cheap labor lobbyists.
Yes, he is. Isn't it odd though that they he isn't one of those right wing conservative elite corporate masters that the left/liberals keep demonizing over this issue? How do they explain that one?
Exactly.
Notice, however, how those that support the Rs have bought the party-line about illegals hook-line-and-sinker. They will continue to ignore the fact that their reps are selling them out and just keep pointing their crooked fingers at the brown people they have been told to despise.
'Cause we just know that not a single conservative would ever take advantage of low-wage workers or hire someone with questionable paperwork. Right.
How are the Republicans selling Americans out on illegal immigration? Most of them oppose an amnesty. If you think that there are only Republican business owners that hire illegals then you need a reality check. Brown people? Race card pulling duly noted. I despise all lawbreakers regardless of their skin color and so do most Americans so why the need to mention skin color?
True. Virtually all illegals vote for democrats, but the veterans are not as much of a guaranteed vote.
So do the citizens of their ethnic group mostly vote Democrat partly because they promise amnesty for their group here illegally in spite of the fact that it isn't in the best interest of the rest of us or this country.

Speaking of labor unions --- Cesar Chaves, once head of the UFW was not in favor of illegal immigration and unenforced borders. Back then the democrats were a little more intelligent and they knew that unlimited immigration was for bringing down and keeping down wages. Walter Mondale even walked with Chavez to the border, demanding it be enforced.
Liberal voters today aren't too bright. They think we can bring in all the third world and give them unlimited access to jobs and still have very high wages for all -- or very high welfare handouts for all.
Your spin and unsubstantiated opinion is duly noted. It is amazing that Cons have been championing the EITC for decades as a better method to promote work than simply giving people handouts.
Then all of a sudden some illegals Mexicans qualify for it, and Republicans start frothing at the mouth and calling the EITC a "handout" rather than a good policy that promotes a work ethic.
Liberals have proposed numerous bills over the past few years to get our veterans back to work. Conservative shot them down.
Liberals are not promising jobs to illegals, but want to make a pathway to citizenship, as this will boost our economy, strengthen our safety nets, and reduce deficits. Cons are also opposed to this.
Again, your fake rage and insincerity is duly noted.
So, you agree that we should cut veterans benefits while supporting illegals?

I didn't say anything about selling them out on illegal immigration nor did I say that only Republicans hire illegals. Clearly you ignored all of the posts stating that only liberals hire illegals and/or want illegal immigration. Quelle surpise.
What I was pointing out (WHOOSH) was the fact that it is the GOP that focuses on these topics to such a degree that their own efforts at pulling the foundation out from under their supporters goes totally un-noticed.
It is a clever ploy that is apparently quite successful, if the responses in this thread are any indication.
I suppose that everyone who thinks that it is only the Dems who are plundering veterans benefits have absolutely NO idea that it was PAUL RYAN, you know, the guy who ran for VP on the GOP ticket last year, who spearheaded the push to cut pension benefits overall.
Where was all of this outrage when the original bill was presented to the House?
What I think is that veterans benefits need to be looked at --- some of the fake disabilities should be gone. No benefits of any kind to illegals though -- that is completely absurd.
However, someone who lost a limb or an eye from combat duty --- there should be no question or benefits.
It is truly sad when our vets and seniors are provided with less to cover the costs of illegal aliens in our country.
...and then they hammer the youth, the age bracket with the least to give, to cover the elderly and the sick under Obamacare.
It's nothing but a three ring circus in DC these days. We are living in the land of confusion.

I've always wondered why this government will never look at welfare. Why is it always take from the doers.
