Probably wouldn't do it again.

LOL
 
No, but it isn't a big secret where to find them in Birmingham. You can literally go out on the street where my old apartment complex was on any given day and see hundreds waiting on the curb to be picked up for various jobs. The cops drive by almost daily, and they simply ignore it.

They fill up our public schools, tax dollars, and our education system suffers as a result.

Honestly with all the shortage of jobs right now, maybe if the mexicans weren't taking all the low wage positions I could even get one. I just got laid off last week

They pay more into the tax system then they take out.

and the thread goes there..

they... don't pay into taxes. that's the problem

employers that hire illegals are paying the illegals under the table, that's the only way they can 1) hire someone without legal documentation, and 2) pay them less than minimum wage.
it's a win/win for everyone involved in the situation, but a complete lose/lose for the regular, legal taxpaying citizen. and it is an unfair practice that can hurt the employers who abide by the law and have to compete with those businesses.

well, if they are breaking the law, deporting them isn't gonna do too much to stop them from breaking the law.

if it's because they took your dishwashing job: man up.
if this is the case, then:

i'll just pretend you feel threatened and you can't man up to live your own life, so you want to make others pay for your shortcomings. sad.

I just remember when we had some construction work done on our house. Every few days the border patrol would show up and take away half the crew.
 
Wow, people supporting illegal immigrants are sad people, and what's even sadder is that they're pretending everyone who doesn't is pathetic and unmanly.

What a screwball form of logic. :laugh:

has nothing to do with logic, everyone in america was an illegal once.
it has more to do with live your own life and be succesful and happy, and don't worry about what someone is doing that doesn't affect you directly. if they break a law and hurt you or your family (not just by taking a job) thats one thing.

the i pay taxes argument is ridiculous, i hate to say you'd pay the same taxes either way and the government will misuse the funds no matter what.

live and let live, this country has a lot to offer, and it should be open to others.

That is where you are wrong, ancestors a few hundred years back were "immigrants"..

Chances are a majority of people who are not Mexican were either born here, or immigrants not illegals, there is a major fucking difference.

You go to the emergency room because you are about to die.. you get there, and a line of illigal immigrants are in front of you. They apparently chipped their tootheses on a pinto bean which caused their last tooth to fall out. (the last tooth in the whole familty, this is important).. the hospital has to help them by law regardless if they pay taxes and you die in the waiting room. You, the one who pays taxes.

This is all just .. speculation of course.. 😀

oh, immagrants. bug difference.
ALL the people born here came from somewhere else, very few that were born here first are still around (family and ancestorwise) ask a native american how he feels about immagration during his ancestors times.

how patently white of you.

Big difference? Yeah a huge difference, and sorry your "but you came from england!"

The French use to own England, Persia once controlled Italy, how far back do you want to go?

People still attack police stations for the "Free Whales" group which has been in control of England for over 1000 years...

Seriously, get off the "everyone a immigrant" Human as a species moves around, it still doesn't make them ethically legal
 
The country is protecting them while they are here. They can fucking pay taxes to contribute to this.

oh, so it's ownership, then?
way before france, italy, or other countries came to this land, there were people.
ideally, you could say they came from the middle east somewhere, crossed the land bridge where the bering straights are, then settled what would become canada and the americas.
before europe came over here. any part of europe.
these people were destroyed, or forced to move away from what they had, or died out due to later expansion.

it was europe that came over, in any name you want it.

but now i understand, immagrants carry guns, illegals sneak in.

It just takes a phone call? Awesome. I'm done here. This can be locked.

well, if they are breaking the law, deporting them isn't gonna do too much to stop them from breaking the law.

if this is the case, then:

i'll just pretend you feel threatened and you can't man up to live your own life, so you want to make others pay for your shortcomings. sad.

Oh right, cause they are breaking the law its ok now...

You mind if I rob your house as long as I use the money to buy food for my kids?

i have no clue what you are saying. refer my other post. if they are breaking the law, law enforcement is the answer. deporatation isn't law enforcement, it's a week delay before they come back and do it again.

dam you people are dense.

do you know what law enforcement will do for an illegal alien:
most likely: deport them
least likely but only other option: put them in an American jail

second option is worse than first option: wasting US taxpayers money to provide food and shelter for a person who doesn't want to make the small effort to become a US citizen.

depending on the crime, they serve time then get deported.
a lot of illegals are doing their best to become a US citizen in the only way they know, the way most of our ancestors did. they came here and tried to make it. The imigration and legalization system we have sucks. it is a poor system that needs to be overhauled.

and immigration is probably the last concern taxpayers should have.

Agreed, immigration isn't a huge concern for taxpayers, not at this stage... but don't cross it out just because we have some domestic problems.

And people are always crying for immigration reform.

But as of now, what exactly needs to be reformed? The way I see it, there are minor flaws here and there, but the system in whole is more than accepting. We accept more immigrants than any other country, take in more refugees as legal residents than the remaining top 10 by a large margin, and try to be as fair as possible when taking into consideration the number of immigrants we get. We cannot accept everyone. Just because this is a 'free country' doesn't mean every person in the world has the right to just barge in here seeking citizenship.
And if you are economically troubled... um, sure you want to come to this country to provide for your family... but do it right and you can provide a better world than being a hired hand for a couple dollars an hour at most. You're not doing anything then other than taking advantage of this country and enjoying the freedoms.

Only reason I wouldn't? They brand spankin new and are making efforts to become legal. If they are here illegally, as in, haven't made efforts to legally reside here, then fuck 'em.

You don't understand immigration policy do you...

to what end? Specifically what are you asking if I understand or not?

Oh, well, that justifies it then. Nothing to see here, move alone.

Only two things:

1.) Your previous post is written like a petulant, angsty douchebag who is upset at the "man" and is looking for a scapegoat, preferably one with brown skin.

2.) Your "problems" are hardly that and don't justify your blatant racism. But do tell us when you're going to snap and drag a Hispanic behind your truck - we'll watch the papers for it.
 
it's too bad people are born citizens. Everyone born in america should have to go through the immigration process to become a citizen. if this happen, i can assure you policy would change. it's great when it doesn't affect you or you don't have to do it, but man, when you are stuck in the mess, it's a totally different ball game.

 
And to the OP: You'll feel like a big man afterwards. Try not to hit your wife too hard when you get off the phone.
