Man, this was good but I disagree with Alex for so many reasons. We have had over 5 million illegals come over our border from over 160 different countries in the last 2 years. They are not vetted so we have no idea who is getting into our country. It is disturbing. I find it interesting that it wasn't mentioned how many MILLIONS and M…
Man, this was good but I disagree with Alex for so many reasons. We have had over 5 million illegals come over our border from over 160 different countries in the last 2 years. They are not vetted so we have no idea who is getting into our country. It is disturbing. I find it interesting that it wasn't mentioned how many MILLIONS and MILLIONS of US dollars are being sent to Mexico from these illegal immigrants. They are working for cash and not paying taxes. It IS a huge problem. I can't tell you how many hispanic laborers that we hire ask us to pay them in cash and if we can't do that they won't work with us. That is a fact! They undercut American laborers when they get the jobs. I agree that there is a huge shortage of Americans who are starting businesses as roofers, painters, landscapers, drywallers,etc. etc. but I hate it that immigrants are not following our tax laws.
We are a sinking ship as we bow down to give these people welfare benefits. It is ridiculous. They should not be here if they cannot support themselves.
Assimilation is another issue I get frustrated with. I seriously would never immigrate to a foreign country without learning the language, and respecting that country's laws. Our schools are being overrun by non english speaking children so teachers then are struggling to take care of students needs. Our english students are failing miserably yet we are putting millions of dollars into taking care of illegal immigrant students. I could go on and on.
A lot of the pressure for more immigration--and almost all of the money that pushes for more immigration--comes from big biz, which likes the cheap, easily exploitable labor. This has been going on for 200 years. You can read about it in detail, in Back of the Hiring Line: A 200-Year History of Immigration Surges, Employer Bias, and Depression of Black Wealth ($13 on Amazon). The book is solid, covers the academic economic lit, black periodicals going back to the 1800s, govt commissions on immigration reform, 296 footnotes; yet it's a good read.
Among the findings: in 1980, meatpackers were mostly black, earning good middle class wages. By that decade's end, meat packers were largely immigrants, toiling for peanuts under atrocious working conditions.
