Ok. “In the Black” usually refers to finances. When it comes ot illegals, being “in the black” population wise means “in the red” financially.

No doubt; it wasn’t positive news, unless you were a landlord with vacant apartments...

When I lived in Northern VA, more than one house in our neighorhood was rented to illegals. The landlords probably got their rent, but with 3X the number of typical inhabitants, any profit made probably went to fixing the extra wear and tear.

There is no “fixing” when your tenants are illegals; they have no recourse. Here in northern NJ a few years ago, they had a basement fire in a normal house in a wealthy area that killed illegals from a few different countries because it had been made into “rooms for rent” (not even apartments); the fire was by the one entrance (completely violating fire code) so nobody could get out.

When I was discussing this with an unemployed friend of mine, he said (without batting an eyelid), “that’s more American jobs saved”. As much as that horrified me, he was absolutely right; these people paid no income tax, no property tax, no social security tax...but they were still people. That is why people rise up and execute their (fill in the name: King, Tsar, whatever)...

Not sure what your saying here. Are the illegals going to rise up or the unemployed citizens? If the former, its really their own fault. If you’re here illegally, pay smugglers to get you in, take day jobs, and all you can afford is an overcrowded sh!thole, then you’re taking your chances from the gitgo. But, in the end, its their decision to take the risk. Many of our ancestors did the same thing—coming to America was always a big role of the dice.

The illegals won’t do anything (why would they? our poor people live better than the middle classes where they come from); the American people have been screwed by their “leaders” (in both parties), and are watching their standard of living disappear before their very eyes. America has lost its exceptionalism because leaders who loved money over country traded it (and many Americans’ futures) away.

Citizens don’t have to be unemployed to be outraged; many are working jobs that won’t provide the standard of living they had even five years ago. What should an eighteen year old approaching high school graduation consider as a career nowadays?
