Why should the United States allow the perpetual entry of millions of uneducated illegal aliens from third world countries?

Of what benefit is that to the United States or to American citizens?

Maids, nannies, hotel cleaners, landscaping, grass cutters, painters, car washers, meat and chicken processing plant work (really nasty, smelly work), picking vegetables and fruits.

Do you or any of your family want to do these tasks?? (At very low wages, I might add.)

How many is enough? 10 million more? 100 million more? How about a billion?


I compete with some of these people directly and if they weren't in my particular industry (which isn't that tough) who knows how much mor I'd be making?

Proving my point that you have redefined and diminished the meaning of the word “hate”, likely due to the stereotypical reasons I gave in the previous post.


I did notice that there was no denial.

A few years ago it was estimated that there were ~12 million undocumented in this country.

Don’t think your business is big enough to replace all these. There is a need and they fill it. Perhaps your prices are too high?

No such thing as an undocumented they are illegal aliens. So to keep prices down we should allow people to hire illegal aliens which is against the law and it's ok for illegal aliens to jump our border illegally? The only need they fill is to make the rich, richer while the rest of us get the shaft in so many ways.

If we all stopped going online, would we know what people's political and social views are? I wouldn't. I work in a small biz and none of us talk about it because we know it leads to arguments and division. Same with my friends. We stick to neutral small talk. Relationships are more important, and I hate confrontation and friction.

Americans have always done those jobs for a fair wage until millions of cheap illegal aliens flooded our border and they cost us over $100 billion a year! As for picking crops we have unlimited visas for those jobs. Try again!

Then why don’t you Repubs go for comprehensive immigration reform? Trump hires illegals in his hotels in FL. Maybe you should write him a letter? Oops, better hurry. Jan. 20 will soon be here.
