great post...your example will be lost on your intended audience...
So solly, I thought you would have caught Dane's # 53 to me.
I'll give it a longer look later.
Looked like it had a lot of information and also a lot of pictures will be available there.
I caught it. Your point (?) was still as clear as mud.
In my teenage years I hauled bales of hay, built corn silos, and scraped and painted duplexes and old houses. The work goes on--done by illegal aliens.
Why do people like to post that an article was previously posted... use the search function? Not everyone reads all the posts everyday. As I didn't see this article before, I appreciate the repost.
The thread is pushing 150 posts now.
I guess a lot of people didn't see the original article.
I'm glad I posted this thread.
Don't have any, but not as brazen to be a congresscritter such as tancredo, who has not worked in a wealth producing enterprise, to tell people who run such good wealth producing enterprises, how to run theirs.
Small point, but instead of going through the time and trouble to post a new thread, the poster could've bumped the old one. You'd have seen it anyway, if you rely on the 'Latest Posts' page.
How come no one makes the leftist argument that these illegal, black market workers are being "exploited" by their employers? The employers can get away with paying the illegals a fraction of what legal workers would get.
Still waiting for a clear explanation. After he has more coffee, all will be revealed. Maybe.
You should run. I think you'd fit right in.
Well that is your experience. A time before X-boxes and where "Johnny" can do no wrong mentality by today's Oprahized parents..
BTW, my first real paycheck was when I was 16 as a busboy at a chain steakhouse. I say real paycheck because I mowed lawns for "cash" before that. Oh that's right my working for "cash" mowing lawns for "cash" is evil to you, nevermind.
You keep bringing up teacher unions and trial lawyers. That's called a "Red Herring", which is a logical fallacy. That is why this "trump card" of yours is being ignored. It has everything to do with nothing on this issue.
So let's just get to the meat of the issue that you have with folks not wanting illegal labor in this country.
I'm willing to bet you are a farmer of some sort. You hire illegal, undocumented workers, don't you? Perhaps at a rate that one might consider them to be neo-indentured, right? How's that bank account? Got a nice car? Nice home? Would you hate to see that all go away if the illegal issue is finally resolved in a sane way and you have to pay someone a decent wage for the same work?
I would hate it, too. Viva capitalism while ignoring the laws of this country. Viva capitalism that hurts the economy of this country. Viva, viva, viva.
So go ahead and call me a DUmmy troll or whatever. I'm more of a conservative than you ever will be.
APf
Every voter is a consumer.
The only real debate is whether to legalise the immigrants without making them reenter legally. I think it's worth the modest price to make them reenter.
It's called reality, now can you make your point that teacher unions and trial lawyers don't exist?
I'll admit they exist. Does this mean illegals are good or bad?
