Tent cities surrounded by armed guards and barbed wire would work.

Unskilled workers will simply be imported every year to fill the jobs is all.
If talking legal aliens here, I don't see the problem.

Yeah, good luck with that. The Lawyers would have a field day with that one. No politician in their right mind would touch that one with a 10 foot pole.

More and more countries are stopping birthright, even Ireland cut that nonsense off about 10 years ago.

That's fine, but you aren't going to create jobs for Americans is my point. You are simply maintaining the status quo in a different fashion is all. Those types of jobs aren't going to be staffed by many citizens anymore.

If a few more Americans get murdered in SF by illegal aliens; THAT may just push a LOT of politicians to change their positions like real quick.

That's fantastic for Ireland. Ireland isn't the United States though. Under U.S. law they are citizens at birth. The only thing that could alter that is another Constitutional amendment to nullify a part of the 14th amendment or a Supreme Court ruling that reverses a 100 year old precedent. Neither is likely to ever happen.

Sad!
I agree. But, 40K is not exactly getting rich. You can live a somewhat comparable lifestyle on welfare. Your back won't hurt, you won't starve, and you probably won't complain.

I have a relative that does roofing. In 5 years, it looks like he aged 10 or 15. If I had a kid, I would advise them to do something else, like go to college and become a professional something or another. Not because I don't value the work and contribution that roofers make, but because I don't think 40K is enough money to sweat for.

I don't care. Let them rot in jail until they get before a judge. Roots, schmoots. Illegal is illegal.

Yeah, well that's not going to happen. So you can stop your mock outrage over the subject.
