yeah, but they are the best workers you'll ever find. Ill hire them every day all day.

'they' arent the best workers

poor people who have more to lose without a job and more to gain with one are the best workers...'they' just happen to fit that profile more often than not

[MadMarchHare]

Never shtein a shteinter.  You are correct, Demon.

P.S.  1 out of 12 illegals entering the U.S. from Mexico has a violent criminal record.

Meaning that >90% don't.  Which is probably equivalent to the number of legal Americans who have a violent criminal record.

I agree that something needs to be done about the utterly porous border issue.  But that statistic is meaningless.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I agree with that whole-heartedly, IGY.

I'm not complaining about the economic benefits of the neo-slave labor that illegal immigration provides per se, but I would rather that more labor is legal and thus paid legally and fairly.  In turn, then it would be reasonable to expect these workers to keep the legal minimum amount of insurances and pay taxes and fees like other Americans.

They're never Americans if they're here illegally.  Period.

Wrong.  Because if they were forced to go through legal channels to attempt to gain entry, the immigrants with a violent record would be stopped at least some of the time.

dont let the stereotype fool ya.. both are at a disadvantage, but its the ones that actually "want" to make the money consistently (not half-ass) and supply for their families that count. who would you rather have: that guy you see on the median with, "homeless vet, need food, please help." or the mexican that comes in and fills out an application?

which one do you think will last longer and actually show up for work. I know who Im taking

come over to my store and watch them work

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

What kind of store do you have?  What do you sell?

[reese125]

you a cop?

[rjs246]

Wow. This conversation just got way off track.

[reese125]

right?

[Wingspan]

so we're sending mexican's into iran now?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

so we're sending mexican's into iran now?

Only the legal ones.  Yet another perc for the illegals is that they don't register for the selective service.

my point is a cat from mexico coming over to work for his family back home doesnt work any harder than a coal miner in kanawha wva or a paper mill worker in ticonderoga ny working for their families here

but by getting paid cash they avoid the taxes, and thus have more money to send home

[rjs246]

Western Union ain't cheap. It all comes out in a wash.

if people truly cared that much about taxes not getting paid they would be much more concerned about big corporations and not illegal aliens....corps steal infinitely more tax dollars...then again they arent scary brown people that are going to force all our kids to speak spanish in 10 years
