Works for me, defeat the orbital laser wall and gain instant citizenship. It's like those Cubans who built a raft, drove a truck onto it, and built a propeller drive driven by the bare wheel. Or that hot Mexican chick who actually got inside a truck dash. At some point, enough ingenuity and guts ought to earn you a waiver.

Hell yeah, those guys built that 57 Chevy truck, turned into an amphibious vehicle, made it from Cuba to Florida and then literally drove it onto the beach should have been sent straight to MIT with full citizenship.

This is just more "we're superior to everyone else!" thinking because its been repeated so often that people just turn their brains off and spout it without even a thought.

Why does a good job worthy of having in the US instantly become a "slave job" because it's no longer done in the US?

Answer: (say it with me now, you KNOW you believe it, so much it comes out of your mouth without even a seconds thought) because if its done here in the states its being done by we, the most superior people on earth! It's a great job automattically.

Because they are being paid pennies (relatively), work in the shittiest of shity workplaces, often work 12-18 hours a day everyday, generally can't quit, no environmental or safety standards to speak of, no labor laws to speak of and even kids are fair game?

$100 if you post a vid of you and your buddies doing that to get over a 15' tall wall that is topped with barbed wire.

It's a task for me to walk to the store right now.
A couple of minutes of the Chicken dance last weekend and I sat out the rest of the evening.

I assumed you were a fit guy and would be able to do what the guys in the vid did.

Yep that's the entire rest of the world. The great THEY.

ONLY you, superior American, ever gets fair pay and livable work conditions. These are unique American things.

Like I said,.because its indisputable fact that we top the list of most skilled, best educated, most desirable business climate (I mean SOMEWHERE that's fact... not actually documented anywhere) it stands to reason that we just need to elect a ruler who will make it law for business to recognize our superiorness and be forced to stay here accordingly. None of us has to lift a finger otherwise. We just habe to exist. That's all a.superior people has to do.

While smart LEGAL immigrants such as Elon Musk are waiting in vain for years to get in the legal way, them ILLEGALS with no skill and nothing to offer get to cut in line.

Talk about sheer stupidity on our immigration policy on bothe parties (D + R).

Ummm terrible example. If you have money you can quickly buy your legal way into the US. All it takes is $500k-1million and ~10 jobs created. People with money to invest jump straight to the front of the line. People who come here illegally(of the Hispanic variety) do so because they would be in queue for 15-20 years to come here legally.

There is a bigger threat of flooding skilled labor by expanding H1Bs. There is not a skilled labor nor a stem shortage. People wanting to expand H1Bs are only wanting to further depress wages of skilled employees.

Read my post AGAIN.

I said "smart" as with skill, education, able to speak and write English , NOT RICH AS Elon Musk. :rolleyes: I refer folks that can contribute right away and I don't have to "press 2 for Spanish".

Reading comprehension skill is a good thing to have.

10-20 years to get here legally? Too bad, they are not alone (LEGAL immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa are waiting for years too) but that is NOT a excuse to sneak in ILLEGALLY and then have the nerve to demand amnesty.

I will leave this here (I did not write it).

Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens

For that you must add a fourth crew member. In a red shirt.

Agreed. We NEED people like that - smart, practical, and motivated.
