“……How many billions go to caring for the illegals? More than any war cost the liberals keep harping on……”.What caring for illegals? As a group the illegals are probably the most independant people in America. Without the illegals, the hospitality, agriculture, and construction industries would be in bad shape, or would need to charge far more for their product. Huge profits and lower cost consumer goods are made possible by illegals.
“Kal” is an AMERICAN! Right wingnuts should all be sent back to their family “country of origin”?? On what continent is “The United States of Stupid”, located?
I think you have that a little backwards. It has ALWAYS been the conservative, Capitalist GOP that could not survive without Big Business. Just look a little at history and reality.
Actually Stipple is quite right any any look at real figures from almost any source will back him up. Too bad you are trying to live in an unreal world.
uh, no. the studies have shown that ‘illegal immigrants’ actually put more money back into the economy by far than they use. do your homework. read a little. facts really do count – try ’em on for size.
by the way, skinman, most illegals do NOT ever use anything that requires government notice and most even pay taxes. they do work you would never stoop to and have no access to medical care unless they pay cash for it. i’d love to see you out in the fields, bent over strawberry plants, picking and then running the heavy boxes to the truck so you can go pick more. and, then do it all over again for garbage wages.ask the peach farmers in the south how much $$ they lost because they couldn’t get us Americans to pick the fruit! quicherbellyachin’ and be grateful for the life you’re living in a great country! whine whine whine
Since the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island is a symbol of legal immigration the imagery is a bit skewed. Legal immigration is important. Having open borders where drug traffic and gang activity proliferate helps no one- not American citizens and not poor people trying to make a better life for themselves by risking being taken advantage of by their south-of-the-border countrymen.
LEGAL immigration policy IS the issue. Some of those laws DO need reform, and a return to some of our past policies. I find it interesting that the vast majority of “anti-immigrant” folks, are the body of the “I’ve got mine, screw you” crowd.
