I have worked with black lawyers and Engineers, we got along very good and became friends. I have worked with illegal aliens and we got along very good, I consider some of them to be very good friends that will come anytime I am in need of help. That being said, I get along with almost everybody, even the derelicts that walk up and down the street all day long, them screaming at the world at 2 in the morning. The derelicts, in their fuzzy state of mind, appreciate my listening to them rant and look out for myself and my family. I have to listen to them, they are so bewildering.
I am a compassionate conservative. I realize that it takes many types of people to make a world. It takes a hands-on hard working person to harvest our crops. It takes a geek to figure out my entertainment system. It takes a German or Swede to do intricate machining with passion. It takes a numbers person to do my taxes. It take Ernie to figure out which gun I can own and when I have to purchase it.
Simply put, I love people with all their idiosyncrasies, BUT, we are a nation of LAW’s. I hate the fact that every job that an uneducated, illegal alien Mexican has taken, has taken the jobs of the dropout American. The dropout American has vastly more education than any illegal alien Mexican. The dropout American is an American and deserves those jobs taken by illegal aliens. The dropout American, many are very smart and become models of Americans, will find their way when they find what interests them whether it be in construction or an ITT expert.
I believe that a strong America can help the world.
The “dropout American” is usually not very bright and not very motivated. Nevertheless, deport the illegals now. The slackers/welfare cases will then either start showing up for work and FINISHING THEIR JOBS or, more likely, LEGAL immigrants will take their place.
That’s the most reasoned and sensible analysis I have read on FR for a long time.
