Your feeling on Illegal Immigration into the U.S.

**bmolsson** · 08-17-2005, 06:51

I read this statement on US immigration a while ago:

The indians did not restrict immigration, now they live in the reservations...

Most of the US posters here seems to forget who their ancestors where........

I personally think illegal immigrants are nothing but criminals, but they help business.. so im conflicted.

They don't really help business.

They help businesses that are criminals. So criminal illegals help criminal businesses that hire them.

I'm pretty entertained by the construction industry hiring relatively unskilled Mexicans to do skilled jobs only to have to then go employ skilled U.S. workers to fix the mess that had been made. I don't know if those Mexicans are illegals or not but they are definitely being used to get cheaper labour than that offered by long established U.S. businesses. I suppose if you use any non-skilled workers to do unskilled jobs you'd get the same results.

Talking of unskilled workers doing skilled jobs, I'm currently doing a special offer on heart surgery if anybody's interested, much cheaper than an actual surgeon.

Disclaimer: this is not always the case with Mexicans in the construction industry but it is definitely something that I have observed (in one case whilst sitting in a coffee shop in a half completed strip mall, wondering what the heck a couple of Mexican workers were doing on the uncompleted half: you had to be there, it was like Laurel and Hardy spend a day on a building site).

You would be surprised how nice houses they have in Mexico, all built by Mexicans. Furthermore, the surgeons in Mexico knows how to do hearts as well.....

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cuts off head.

Has this poll been brought up yet?

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (UPI) -- Forty-six percent of Mexicans would like to move to the United States and more than 20 percent would do so illegally if they had the chance, a survey says.

Unbelievable really- almost half the population of Mexico wants to move to the US and more than a fifth would do so illegally given the chance??

My uncle told me a funny joke about the illegals.

He said "In every illegal there is an American wanting to get out....you just have to put the hole there" I said "what do you mean"? He said "you gotta shoot em'!

I thought it was pretty funny most of the politically correct crowd won't think so though

So are you and your uncle both xenophobic?

Did you even read my damned post or did you just post the above nonsense as soon as what passes for your brain thought of it?

Get out on the wrong side of the bed today? No need to personally assualt the man.

Whatever it is you said Reagan did is nothing like what I brought up.

Im afraid he did declare amesty. If we do it again others will keep sneaking in here waiting for the next.

Step 2) Declare a single mandatory minimum wage for BOTH US citizens and non-US citizens, also give both equal or near equal rights in such things as employer provided insurance etc.. This eliminates the incentive for businesses to hire foreigners over American citizens. At the same time vastly increase the penalties for hiring illegal immigrants providing a disincentive.

We already have a single mandatory minimum wage.

Another beautiful thing about my suggestions is the Amnesty for all immigrants and their immediate families who have lived in the country 5 years or more.

Studies have repeatedly found that often the people MOST against further immigration are immigrant families themselves.

By making these people citizens, legitimising them and giving them security in the country one can most likely then rely on their support in the voting booths for measures to curb or stop further illegal immigration. Hows that for an enormous blow to the PC brigade?

This is exactly what the Reagan administration claimed and you can see it was wrong. Though you claim he did no such thing. The rest of your plan is ok but the republicans already have such a plan and its better then yours.
