I am American - NoIn Texas the laws protect home builders from being targeted by hiring illegals. All contractors. There is no push, none, to hold home builders accountable. One of the biggest republican canpaign dinars is Perry homes that built his empire on illegal labor. Dubya and ex governor current pres runner Rick Perry that take his money. Republicans have successfully fooled Americans into thinking this is a Dem issue. It's not. It's a money issue.10-18-2000 Houston, 04-06-2003 Houston, 6-25-2003 Toronto, 10-8-2004 Kissimmee, 9-4-2005 Calgary, 12-3-05 Sao Paulo, 7-2-2006 Denver, 7-22-06 Gorge, 7-23-2006 Gorge, 9-13-2006 Bern, 6-22-2008 DC, 6-24-2008 MSG, 6-25-2008 MSG0

I'm saying anger is directed at the wrong people. The ones that control all this are the ones with money as is always the case. Follow the money. Not the poor humans risking their lives for 7 bucks an hour.Godfather. said:
so you guys are saying that it's o.k for ilegals to break our laws because they do it in such large numbers ? I agree the prisons are over populated as it is so why not make it hartder for them to come across or harder to live once they get here, no government housing, food stamps, health carebrianlux said:
Definitely. It's bad enough that we have so many people in prisons who do not belong there in the first place.rgambs said:
Have you thought about the massive burden that would put on an already overburdened prison system?Godfather. said:and any repete offender who comes to the US ilegally should be given 1 year in jail and all thier property home, cars, etc. in the US sold to recoop a small part f the cost to deal with ilegal immergration

Not to mention that 99.999% of illegal immigrants do not own property, cars, homes etc.
This one's not going to float. Try again, Godfather.

Trump said the he doesn't seek forgiveness from God because he doesn't feel he needs to. Ok. The funny part is he said this at an event put on by and filled with evangelical christians. Oops. He did say that when he does go to church he drinks the wine and eats the cracker thing, so that is his way of asking for forgiveness.
This won't be the last time he puts his foot in his mouth. As I have said, he has no chance.0 -

There are plenty of people that work off the grid whether they are illegal or not. Some people receiving disability income can't show other income so they work for cash rather than a paycheck.Last-12-Exit said:

Why didn't anything get done during Bush? Well cause many of his campaign contributors gained wealth using this cheap labor. This is all a red hearing to get Americans to vote against their best interests by using fear.

My experience has been that they are paid the same or better. They are very reliable employees and they work their asses off. If anything they up the pay scale and allow lazy white workers to make more because of their hard work.
most of the const. companys hire low wage illegals over experianced American to save $10 to $20 an hour, fuck man just go to home depot and look at whats going on...it sucks !

That's an employer issue. If the employers stop doing that would the problem be solved?

I know. I said earlier they are getting paid $7-10 per hour. Which is less than what the legals get paid. I don't know their exact pay scale, but very few if them make over $9/hour.Gern Blansten said:

I didn't say anything about how we treat them or how we keep them out or let them in. What I said was that imprisoning millions of additional people is not physically possible.Godfather. said:
what other country caters to ilegals like we do ? that would be interesting to find out, some countries just shoot tresspassers, mexico's prison (mesa) offers no food or medical care unless it's paid for by the prisoner or thier familys or friends(my friends brother died in mesa) so please remind me how bad the ilegals are treated here.rgambs said:

I'm sure that could happen but he will be ripped apart in any kind of debate in a general election. Zero chance he wins a national election. I can't figure out if he actually thinks he can win, is running interference for someone, or just wants to keep his name in the news. If I'm wrong I will be the first to admit it, but this guy is a clown. Not going to happen.PJfanwillneverleave1 said:
A quote from some article I read on google regarding his statement about McCain and how it could sink him or propel him further.WhatYouTaughtMe said:

"If this was a traditional candidacy, I'd say put a fork in it; he's over; it's done," GOP campaign veteran Phil Musser says. But given Trump's anti-establishment message, "there could be a scenario where the entire field teams up against Donald Trump and Donald tells them all to go to hell and he rises in the polls."0 -

NoAm I the only one who hopes that he actually does win the primaries? I've personally got my fingers crossed... all for awful voyeuristic reasons (not to mention the boost it would give any Dem candidate), which I feel kind of bad about, but I can't help it.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

I'm still predicting that he breaks off from the GOP and runs as an independent. Either that or he drops out before too long.
