By cutting off the source of cheap labor it would discriminate against the citizens that cannot afford to have their gardens pruned or corporate farms harvested by American citizens. In my observation Mexican, and other immigrants, have done more good for the country than harm.
That right there should tell everyone in this country they could careless about any kind of immigration reform.. I find it amazing that other countries have some kind of border protection but putting up a fence for our HUGE illegals crossing over issue is now discrimination?
These fools need to step down if they can not make common sense judgement.
Note that this case is not at all what you and others herein think it is about. It is a Freedom of Information Act case. Nowhere in the decision is it stated that the plaintiff (a law professor) is concerned that the fence would keep out illegals.
Part of the case is about this: the plaintiff believes that the location of the fence may be gerrymandered to avoid properties owned by wealthy land owners (which would devalued their property), yet running across Texas land owned by 'minorities'. Said plaintiff filed a FOIA request with several agencies to get information, including names, addresses and phone numbers of the various land owners, and objected that such information was 'redacted'. The Court addresses the various issues related to FOIA, including whether the government agencies involved have a duty to keep updating the information released without new requests under FOIA.
As the Court summed up the issue at hand:
"The plaintiff contends that CBP: (1) improperly redacted "the names and addresses of landowners who would potentially be affected by the border wall," under FOIA Exemption 6; (2) improperly redacted "records containing an assessment of the need for fencing in certain areas," under FOIA Exemption 7(E); and (3) improperly withheld email attachments pursuant to no specific FOIA exemption".

They're the main reason our health care system is so screwed up right now. If their baby even gets a cough they visit the ER & guess who winds up paying for it?

The fact is Liberals love illegal immigration. Without minorities & dead people voting for them they would be powerless.

OK - now throw in the fact that this cheap labor takes job away from Americans, but do not pay into the tax system that gives them schooling for their kids, health care through the ER, and other benefits.
It costs me and other taxpayers money to care for them. That does the country harm.
You know - I just re-read Greg's response. Discriminate against citizens that can't AFFORD American citizens to do work for them? Are you serious? Totally ludicrous. You are tying discrimination to affordability. Dude, that is so laughable...
