Please just stop being obtuse. It happens.



This ones just hopeless

Of course it happens, but a list of potential crimes does not bolster your point of view.

If they don't have a good education of good skills, they need to work on obtaining these and not obsess about what others are doing wrong. As for terrorism, Trump supposedly took care of that with his travel ban, so I have nothing to worry about that from that either.

Well unfortunately, not all Americans are well educated or skilled and they need those blue collared jobs so all the more reason to oppose illegal immigration. Many of them have also taken jobs from our American youth looking for entry level jobs for spending money and to gain some work experience. Our American construction and landscaping workers were skilled at what they did but the greedy employers who hired illegal aliens didn't care about that they only cared about increasing their profits.


I live across the road from a housing community that was built by these unskilled illegal aliens and they were so shoddily built that many of the homeowners up and left them. Commercial landscaping jobs used to pay a livable wage also until millions of cheap illegals flooded our border and these greedy employers wouldn't have been able to hire these illegal aliens if they hadn't come here violating our immigration laws. They are both equally guilty of breaking the law! Why don't you give a damn?

No, not a bunch. Those who did had visas, duh. They didn't crash our border with Canada illegally.

Why do illegal aliens have to commit several crimes in order for us to object to their presence here? Ever heard of immigration laws and why they are in place? Do I need once again go into all the other negative impacts they have on our society in order for you to stop defending them?


As for crimes, how many are guilty of felony ID theft and/or tax evasion? How are they working without doing those things or is that unimportant to you?

And where are these illegals going to live? We are already unable to house our own people in the major urban areas. Our middle class are forced to live an hour plus away from their jobs. The lower class have to hope for Section 8 and other government assist housing and food options. Our cities also need to find more sources of funding for the inner city ghetto schools... and why do liberals want to welcome these caravans of future illegals and DACA's???

On the other hand, while terrorism attacks are truly horrible, statistically it's a very unlikely that anyone in the US will be affected by an attack.

So just like how I voted in the last presidential election, I am mainly concerned with my rising property taxes and how my tax contributions are used. And I say no to illegals trying to force their way into our country. And from the interviews with people in that caravan coming up from Guatemala... it's clear that they haven't tried to learn an English, and that tells me, just like most of the illegal parents of DACA's, they don't plan to learn English or try to assimilate into our country. Instead, they will live on the margins of our society, speaking Spanish and being parasites.

There is no reason why this same process would not be involved IF this current caravan makes it to our border.

Why would I be fearful of that?

I suspect that those who are rabidly anti immigration come from hate, not any fear.

Though from a psychological standpoint, hate and fear are related, but that's another thread.

Link please, to your claims that 93% of the last caravan were approved for asylum.

Unlike the modern world, isolated groups back then had no opportunity to achieve immunity to infectious disease unless they had an outbreak and could be exposed directly to the virus or bacteria.

Thanks to the work conducted entirely by the Western World, and the billions of dollars in direct expenditures again made entirely by the West, most of humanity has been well protected from epidemics of serious infectious disease, with many diseases that once devastated populations being "eradicated"...and brought back to Western nations only through immigration.
Yep. Seems most of the epidemics seem to spawn out of China. Same with the Flakka drug. And it's amazing how the DEA was real quick to shut that down but seem to be hopeless with the heroin epidemic.

I find it interesting how these illegal immigrants, from thousands of miles away, seem to know more about America's welfare programs than I do? Are there like US representatives there to tell them all of the good stuff we got going on here and how to get it?
