Took them 40 years and some rhetoric from Trump, but looks like they are finally doing something.

Our political parties that signal to the world that we don't enforce immigration laws is whats creating the issue.

You also cant police all your welfare schemes that lure some of them here. The ones that come here to paint houses, change tires, wash dishes, clean hotels etc. make your life more affordable.

Yea. Well. I can remember back in the late 70s and early 80s when I was in high school during the Summer and especially at harvest time we high school kids had guaranteed work. The onion and garlic sheds needed bodies the hay farmers needed bales bucked up all Summer long, the feed lots and cattle operations always had work. And we were more than willing and able to do it and they put us to work.


These days even if you found a White high school kid willing to do the work he or she wouldn't last a day. The Hispanics would run them off most unpleasantly at that. And I blame the farmers and ranchers for a lot of that.


I was out on a spread not to long ago and watched a farm owner overseeing old school bus loads of seasonal Hispanic laborers coming in and yelling out he didn't want to see a bus come in with less than three to a seat and standing in the aisles.The whole town gets over run at harvest time and you'd swear you were in Tijuana.


They pack the courthouse steps and crowd around in droves in front of every business in town. The parks are over run and you can't walk down the sidewalk. It really sucks. But that's how things are now. The high school kids if they're not Hispanic compete for jobs at McDonalds or the grocery store (those that actually want to work) and this is life now.


When harvest is over things clear out but a good number wind up staying as well. The school is now getting to over 50% Hispanic now and probably 30% of those don't speak English. A healthy portion of the school budget goes to that a lot of that being in interpreters and just in classes.


And now the borders are being over run and inundated. Yea life is a lot more affordable with property taxes going through the roof along with a lot of new taxes because the schools are screaming for more money. And especially now we can only expect things to get worse. Ain't life grand.

What a mess.



Imagine if a US border agent grabbed that baby carriage with baby inside like that Mexican cop did in the video. Heads would roll in the states.

I sure hope those buses in the video are bringing the "migrants" back to the Southern Mexico border and not to ours.



Imagine hundreds of "migrants" walking down the main street in your town.

They are taking those jobs from Americans by working for less. How is that a positive thing? They cost us over $100 billion a year vs any so-called benefts. How is that a good thing? They overcrowd our schools, jails, hospitals, roads and neighborhoods. They put added stress on our natural and social resources and add to our crime rates. They commit felony ID theft and/or tax evasion. How does that improve American lives? Geezus, I swear some people are so dense and anti-American that it makes me sick reading their idiotic comments.

I don't have to imagine it. I see it every year. And now I can't even imagine what will come this year. Its a sick feeling seeing your town taken over , literally, by people from another country who don't respect the fact that they are "guests." They act like they own the place and at that time I guess they do. Thanks to all the rich farmers who only have to deal with them in their fields and on payday.


These farmers who cry poor all the time but always seem to be driving new trucks whenever the new model year comes out. The town police and the sheriffs can't keep up with all the trouble that starts in the bars and the clubs.


Oh I'm thinking those buses better be headed back South and from the looks of it that's the idea. We sure don't need it getting out the Mexican cops are giving free bus rides North or else we'll be able to see the throngs coming out of Central America from space. This has GOT to stop. These leftist bleeding hearts aside. I'm not buying that they're "seeking asylum." They're motivated by economics pure and simple. And they're figuring they can make here be Central America.


If that's not true why are they marching here flying the flags of where they came from? They sure don't want to be Americans and have no intention of doing so. It's hard to believe there's so many people out there who think we should just drop the gates and let them all in. That's insane.

They don't make my life more affordable. They make my property taxes higher, income taxes higher, and they make medical expenses higher.

Theres no benefits of illegal immigration besides make the elite richer.
