So you are blind to the national news covering the marches, protests, etc. by illegal aliens and their supporters? Need some links?

The fact you didn't even include that potential scenario in your little -- oh yeah hard working Americans can make money because wages will be higher without realizing what that means to the final cost of goods...is one again disturbing.

The builders who hire illegal aliens just pocket the profits from them they don't pass any reduced prices on homes to the consumer. There is an entire tract of homes across the road from where I live that was built mostly by cheap illegals and the workmanship was so shoddy that many homeowners up and left them. What these builders and other business owners do is pass their enormous social costs on to we the taxpayer. Illegal alien labor is not bargain for the common American.


Who do you think were doing all those construction jobs for a fair wage before millions of cheap illegals flooded that industry? You seriously need to educate yourself on this issue. That is unless you have a vested interest in illegal immigration of which I suspect.

Please point those posts out. It is only illegal alien supporters that make that erroneous claim.

We have corrupt politicians who either want illegal immigration, or refuse to do anything because their political opponents will demonize them if they speak out against it, and propose any fixes.
I disagree. Conservatives WANT illegal immigration just as much as your "lib'tard" bogeymen. Oh they may say they want closed borders to get votes from their low information, partisan base but in reality they answer to their conservative businessmen who depend on cheap immigrant labor to keep their costs down.

By the way, how's that wall coming?

In that part of the country they've taken over the landscaping and construction jobs from Americans.

It's about the ONLY thing I agree with Republicans on. Most of us are somewhere in the middle--not like the far left politicians that get the publicity. Most of us do not want sanctuary cities, whether we are Democrats or Republicans.
I'm a Democrat. I don't believe in humans being illegal.

Read the thread, the whole thread, not just the highlights. You'll see the pattern.

Maybe YOU can point to the post(s) where I claimed to be an illegal alien supporter. Go ahead, point it out. I'll wait.

I think that is the plan, but in today's world, you never know. They may have automation building and repairing homes.

Seems that there are some questions as to whether or not the signs said what the guy said they said. Can't find pics.

There is a sign that says HERE TO STAY...but it never references being illegal. Not a big deal -- just honestly and truth and lack of bull.....

And you really believe that illegals would never hold up a sign saying that they are here illegally? If so, get in touch with me, I have some oceanfront property in AZ to sell to you.

If you read the story, you would have seen that he only "threatened to shoot the other guys" because they threatened him by saying they were going to follow him to his car.

Texas Dem Admits To Assaulting GOP Colleague [VIDEO] | The Daily Caller

From the article: "Nevarez said his colleagues heard Rinaldi say he was “going to put a bullet” in Nevarez’s head, but Rinaldi said in his statement that he made clear he would only use his gun in self defense."

If he has a license to carry, how does it make him a "dirt bag" for saying that he would use his gun in self-defense?

If a person is in another country illegally, then they are illegal aliens. What's so hard to understand about that? If you sneaked across a border of another country, you would be there illegally. However, you knew that already, correct?
