if you don't want them in the shed, a) stop shouting so loudly how rich you are b) pay them decently for the work they do for you in their own home c) pressure their landlord to charge them a fair rent
let's start with Point a. first off, i am not shouting how rich i am but if i was does that give permission for people to break laws. you can say we must change the law and that's fine.
point b. what does that have to do with "illegal" immigrants. i don't think we should hire "illegal" immigrants.
point c. yet again what does this have to do with "illegal" immigrants.
we should be fighting for people who have come "legally" for those things.
we should also work with different countries so that they may provide those items to their citizensPeople demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

exactly. that's why all this paranoia about how illegals are ruining everything in the US is just absurd.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

now does anyone know what the real numbers are? it's not as if they sign in as they cross the border
at least with the jail/prison population they can check the inmate's citizen status*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

And them "illegals" are really close blood line wise to the American indians so...really probably best for you to find an illegal..give him all your stuff and then head back over...and take all you white relatives with you.....I am laughing as I write this by the way..light humor...
can i give it back to a native canadian indian. i stole from them.People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

Is this the case?
We should greet them with open arms?
I am sure there has been big talks in here about it but I was not apart of them so I would like to know where you stand.
I can not believe any American would want to just allow anyone on this planet just walk in and out of here like its some God Damn Public Restroom!"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"0 -
Thecure wrote:but you can also raise the question of what % of the population are Illeagl?
True there is a larger citizen population than there is an illegal one but from the info I have found the percentages are about the same. 3.1% of US citizens are in prison while 3% of the roughly 15 million illegals in this country are in prison. So by those numbers illegals are no more or less violent or inclined to commit a crime than a citizen would be."When one gets in bed with government, one must expect the diseases it spreads." - Ron Paul0 -

Yeah the everyday American doesn't want this but the politicians want open borders so they can continue cheap labor in America. Think they don't, think again.

Ok, I am back from shopping.
Gooooood Debate. But....I am still right.
LOL.
For those of you who are American here, Arn't you bothered by the fact that by the time your great grand kids are adults, its quite possible that they will be living in a world where no one is a white american?
That is not racist either. I know that is coming, I just do not want my race to disappear. I am as proud of my race any other.
And...a lot of people coming here do not want to live in "AMERICA", they want to bring their country here. Example. Last year when they had all the fighting about illigal immagrants having rights....they did not hold up American Flags.....they held up their own flag!!!! Totally disrespectful! If you wanna be considered american then show us by holding up american flags!
I saw a legal mexican guy who owns a store in america flying a Mexican flag Over a American flag.
You people who do not agree with me are fucking nuts!!!!!
Fucking nuts!!!!
One day you will wake up and English will not even be the native language here.....mark my words!Get em a Body Bag Yeeeeeaaaaa!
