Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

If illegal immigrants cost us in health care, law enforcement, and other ways, it must also be noted they help us as well.  God knows your precious children won't be busting their asses harvesting tomatoes or laying hot tar roofs in Texas, the good for nothing spoiled little American miracles that they are.

It's gotten to the point with me that when I read or hear someone bitching about illegal immigrants, all I hear is 'I hate the mexicans,' because that's about what the argument boils down to.

Everything except the "about".  Has anyone ever done an analysis on how much money illegals generate for this country?  Or productivity?

We had a new patio put in, all the workers were illegals.  They busted their ass for 2 solid days, were gracious and polite when we bought them lunch, and did a beautiful job.  They're OK by me.

Ah, you mean the second 'about.'   I was puzzled for a moment there.

I've worked with a ton of illegal immigrants, they are good peoples, and if they dont bust their ass, they aren't real immigrants

[Phanatic]

INS rounds up all the lazy illegals first... We gots priorities!

Hey buddy, I actually agree with a lot of what you are saying here. If you were to boil down what my actual political beliefs are it would probably be founded along the lines that we should just leave people (who wish to work for a living) alone. The American dream is alive and well and living in the hearts of many illegal immigrants.

Five hundred million Americans will lose their jobs!!  Oh the horror!

Someone tell Nancy that there are only 300 million Americans.  Unless shes counting the illegals...

Wait, that changes everything. I was always told (by Dio) that Republicans govern by preying on peoples fears.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

We'll all be fine.  The party in power is going to create a protectionist/isolationist state and will simply add more government control over anything that you don't like.

Relax.

Find me one person on here who likes Pelosi?  She's exactly everything that is wrong with politics

[Phanatic]

Mindless extremes are fun. Lets take the positions of both parties to their mindless extremes and fight about it! It'll be fun!

[Seabiscuit36]

Better yet, round them up, put them in a camp, and set the camp on fire

Sadly, we have a few people here on both sides who actually embody the mindless extremes...

Biscuit, the problem is that representatives YOU elected made that whining yenta Speaker of the House. Representatives need to be accountable.
