How soon will the export of illegals impact wider swath of Texans?

you must be watching msnbc - is did imply anything about citizens vs illegals - this room is about illegals - period and i am stating the fact many progressive want to have ope boarders -no vetting -

any logical person who reads this know i nor most others dont condone any violence and all should be in jail - the article is about another long list of illegals who have committed major crimes against our citizens - should not have been here in the first place - who should have be deported and not allow back -

dont think for 1 minute i will allow you change the subject of the message - illegals need to be deported - we need the wall - citizens need protection - and we are demanding it

I don't watch MSNBC but I didn't know that accusing someone of watching it was an insult. Thanks for the education.

Basically, we were told that we would starve to death because ordinary gringo Americans can't clean a hotel room, can't cook a hamburger (fast food) and can't harvest a single tomato, not if their life depended on it.

Then we moved to Northern California. Surprise, surprise.
The motels, restaurants, the grocery stores are fully staffed with gringos and the beds are made, the tables are clean, and the food is well cooked and tasty.
I've met motel maids, waitresses, contractors, mechanics, in their seventies, working gracefully and happily, doing work considered undesirable by the political elite.
Before anyone labels me a racist jackass I need to add that my wife is Hispanic and we are both immigrants.

We are going to the weekly Catholic mass, Spanish mass at that, and comparing the parishioners to the English mass, my estimate is that our population here is maybe 3-5 % foreign born immigrant, like the two of us.
Yet, somehow, against all odds, we have a great little town with all the comforts and services we had in Orange County.

Exactly!

If deporting illegals is going to cause the shortage of labor, allowing more legal foreign workers will do the trick effortlessly. In that way, only the best people will be admitted.

I know plenty of people who have been harmed in many ways by citizens. The hit and run driver who hit me last fall and is evading legal consequences is a citizen. The people several years ago who stole checks out of my mailbox and tried to cash a $20,000.00 check were citizens. The criminal who several years ago cased my neighborhood using hunting cameras hidden in trees was a citizen. There are plenty of valid arguments to be made against illegal immigration but this is ridiculous. Rapists and molesters need to rot in jail and we need to throw away the key. If you just deport them they will just come back illegally.

You are absolutely right.

Most criminals are citizens but you can't deport them. So the only option is to support the police. Law enforcement should be taken very seriously.
