Let the illegal immigrants stay...

[Tre]

...JUST DON'T LET THEM DRIVE!!!

 

[240 is Back]

some would say they already drive our economy.

[Cavalier22]

some would say they are driving our welfare, hospital, and education budgets into the red as well

true... but we don't have to pay them social security... so it probably evens out!

For those who think that illegal immigrants only bring problems to the economy, ponder this:

I'm a son of TWO former illegal immigrants. My job now? I serve in the United States Marine Corps. I defend the right for every person in the United states to sit behind their computer and post moronic, ignorant comments on get big. There are several other Marines who I serve with that their parents are/were illegal immigrants. Both my Father and Mother got their green cards and eventually became naturalized citizens of the United States. My Mother worked as a Nurse for 16 years, at a boarding care home who specialized in taking care of vets from WW II and vietnam. So before you start to bash illegal immigrants, keep in mind that not all of them are on welfare or looking for a handout. Many of them are hard workers and just looking for an opportunity to succed and thrive in the American dream

Isn't there any dreams in Mexico?

I do think they should tighten the borders, and make the flow more organized and legal, but I don't think anyone should have to leave, felons excluded.

Those 10-12M immigrants make up much of the foundation of the economy.  Without em, nearly all of our wages would go down, as ppl doing menial labor would suddenly be paid $20 an hour instead of 8, and they'd demand benefits, etc.  Watch the price of a lot of things you love go up, and the wage you bring home go down, as employers have to put more resources in lower jobs.  It really would even out the wage discrepencies a bit, but it would suck for most of us!

But yeah, you should be able to beat - with a tire iron - anyone who wrecks your car and leaves the scene cause they're illegal.

Don't take away my gardening crew!  assholes

[240 is Back]

your joking right?

yeah i was being facetious.  i do think we are stuck with em tho.  might as well "make lemonade" as a very wise man once said.

[Mr. Intenseone]

You cannot deport 11 million people, it's impossible, just don't let anymore in without LEGAL documents, and the one's that are here when they commit criminal acts, then send them back with no possibility of returning after they serve their prison sentance!

O.K Then let us just let everybody in. Why should Mexicans have it easier then let's say Nigerians, or Cambodians? Just because we share a border with Mexico, should not give Mexicans the right to leapfrog everybody else in the world who is applying for work visa's, and citizenship legally. Your parents entered this country illegally, they broke the law. The same laws that you, a Marine is supposed to honor and uphold, but instead, you condone your parents lawbreaking by laughably justifying it with their jobs, your birth, and now your service in the armed forces. What about the couple that lives in impovershed conditions in sub-Saharan Africa, or the couple that is oppressed in an Asian nation? They want so bad to come here and live, and start a family, just like your parents did, but they can't because there is an ocean in the way, and they can't walk here, and they don't have the $ to conspire with a "coyote" to get them here. There is something to be said about the millions of people that have gone about the "immigration system" LEGALLY, and they shouldn't be passed up by the cheaters, who have broken the law, and sneaked in. Hey it's great about you being a Marine, and it's great about your mom, but it was all initiated by an illegal act, perpetrated by your parents.

i have no idea why this has never been mentioned.  people will cry and all, and there will be a few fireworks shows, sure.  But the problem will be solved almost immediately.  All those Minutemen could go back to reading conspiracy theories online instead of sitting on their rocking chair with the mossberg praying for an illegal.      And if we bordered N. Korea, no one would be bitching about it!  


Also a fun drinking game... everytime you hear a bang, you do a shot. Yee-Haw!

[Count Grishnackh]

hahaha, nice to know our future social security is being spent on rice 'n bean fajitas

epic gov't fraud

[benchmstr]

i cant believe this topic lasted this long on the main board

[timfogarty]

of the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the US, only about 20% are from Mexico.   Many are not even from 3rd world countries.  Many are from Europe, Australia, and even Canada.

That sounds like a good plan to me.

No way man...we stole this country from the Native Americans fair and square.
