You know how you get “illegals”? By changing the law or policy to make them illegal. By reducing numbers for legal immigration and asylum so outrageously that nobody qualifies.
People are a valuable resource, Ramirez. We are all immigrants, even you. Let’s get them in, document them, put them to work and start collecting taxes. Hell, the undocumented already pay taxes, and can’t even file.
So trying to clean up the mess Republicans have created over 30 years of “NA NA NA NA hands over my ears so I won’t hear the facts” is creating an illegal immigration magnet.
Gee, does that mean when Republicans “clean up” the tax code they’re inviting more tax cheats?
The problem, Michael, is that no one with the qualifications to be a legal immigrant would be mad enough to migrate to the USA. People with the right qualifications can find a job and a life in countries with better healthcare, better security, no power cuts…
one thing I think most democrats and republicans (the bases anyway) could get behind is elimination of the EB-5 visa. . .. this is where rich foreigners buy their way into the US in order to .. . SUBSIDIZE DEVELOPERS
Except for 2.4% of the population, none of the rest of us would be here had our ancestors not emigrated to America. We are pretty much all the equivalent of anchor babies – and we built this country.
Well, at least we know the hatred and bigotry lives on even without the orange scourge at the helm leading the charge. Way to go Mikey-can’t let any of that hostility go to waste.
Mike, it must be such a relief to be able to hold up your hands saying “Hey, its just a joke. It doesn’t have to make sense.”
Cessna172 started down the correct path. But I had to stop myself and think “What are the chances Mike paid ANY attention in a science class? He tried to study medicine-doesn’t that mean he knows….wait. He probably thinks that’s how magnets work. It would explain so much about his damaged, dysfunctional, counter-productive approach to life.”
Do you also think all chemical plants have three story tall test tubes with a team of folks tipping one into the other and then jumping up and down to bounce the resulting test tube mixture as their “manufacturing” method?
When your city/town sends out a water quality report and you see “pH level: 7.0” do you demand that your toady congressman/senator not rest until its driven down to 0? Or are you disgusted that your tax dollars are being spent on pHD levels and they didn’t even spell pHD right or capitalize the right letters?
When you watch disaster movies and the generic scientist in a white lab coat says “We have to stop this or there will be a catastrophe”- you cheer when the disaster happens….don’t you?
Ramirez doesn’t seem to know the difference between legal and illegal. BTW the conservative elites in USA need illegals to come and work below minimum wage and without any benefits or protection from danger and abuse.
White supremacy, the final refuge of the Republican party, since tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and privatization just doesn’t poll too well these days.
Ramirez must be very confident of the legality of his ancestors’ immigration. OR would he be very nervous if the Republicans proposed a bill that would deport any and all relatives of someone who immigrated illegally, no matter how long ago it happened? Frankly, I’m surprised that some Republican hasn’t already proposed that…
What about Davy Crockett and all those Americanos that went illegally into Mexico (Texas and California and other Mexican states, not to mention the the Americanos of today not stopping at stop signs with their cars.

Yet another LIE by a Trump Disciple.
Who is hiring all them illegals?
Who is it that is exerting pressure on the govt. to issue H1-b and other visas in order to hold down wages?

Why do Trump Disciples always have to LIE in order to make their case?
