I know lots of white plumbers, and none looking for work. Is there an over supply of plumbers?
Not even close, since none of those illegals doing the new houses are in school, nor haven't went to school, they aren't plumbers. Where I live now there is a shortage, but that's due to the low pay since a lot of guys don't like doing service work, that's where immigrants really haven't made a push since customers like having someone in their home who speaks somewhat proper English, as opposed to Spanish.
I stay busy and had to go in my own to make any money, but it's a shame how many quality guys you would want working in your home that left the trades to how work at Home Depot, Lowes and even selling cars.
Ahh stop. The illegals never, never, never get in legally. And we all agree on that. We do not need the Mexican peasant class in the US.
They come in illegal or not at all.
One could claim that they are the ones who show the American spirit...Climb over impossible odds...
Ahhh stop.
Actually many illegals are VISA overstays.... I think you know this already.
So some illegals do in fact get in legally.
Mexico of course is #1 for most legal immigrants allowed into our country.
Mexican peasant class. I'm sorry but we don't owe them anything. No not a thing, least of all a VISA. We do owe them accountability, as in holding them accountable.
We have a long history of Americans breaking the law in order to force reform. Our founding fathers, prohibition fighters, underground railroad operators.
Do you really want to regress?
What crimes should we reward because a lot of people don't believe in the law? I mean if we are going to reward foreigners for breaking our laws, it is only fair that we do it for citizens?
Out of curiosity why should we be the only country that rewards illegals?
No one knows what will be done, but it can only be things that are doable via E.O.s. The same E.O.s that have been used by all presidents in the modern era.
Ahhh stop.

Mexicans? Could be. So you agree we don't need to spend any more money securing the border?
They do not get in legally to stay...But we should have a really good system set up to run them down when they don't leave. When we get down to a few hundred thousand it may be feasible.
the Mexican Peasant class knows we are not going to give them a visa...that is why the cross illegally. You did not know that?
lilyflower, The Europeans we imported 100-150 years ago were quite similar to what you describe.3rd world.Not very educated, not very skilled..simply willing to work hard. The early 20th century version of day laborers, lettuce pickers,etc.
Granting amnesty to illegal aliens is not changing or updating our immigration laws. It will still be against the law to come here illegally and always will be.
