Yes--but would they be jobs Americans are willing to do?

You obviously don't understand Americans.

He sounds like a good man. But I still think that we need to land mine our border with Mexico. If we kill enough of them, they will stop coming.

Government needs us to have a low standard of living so we will be absorbed by government programs and therefore have greater control over us. Thats why all the immigration, crowd us up and herd us.

Alright, you made me look some stuff up in relation to what you and I have been saying:

Here are two pertinent quotes:

An employer wrote in 1739 that the only way to make workers sober and hard-working, was to “lay [workers] under the necessity of laboring all the time they can spare from rest and sleep in order to procure the common necessaries of life.”

Another, in 1714, wrote, “The poor have nothing to stir them up to be serviceable but their wants, which it is prudence to relieve, but folly to cure.”

I suspect the flooding of the country with immigrants of all kinds, is designed to increase the supply of labor and thereby lower salaries and thereby keep the people hungry enough to work hard and put up with stuff.

overpopulation causes birth reduction.

Didn't slow them down in China, India, or slow down the poor in our own crowded ghettos.

It's not overpopulation, it's the kind of prosperity that comes from highly industrialized societies, like Japan, most of Europe, and the U.S.A.

Thirty years ago the house I live in sold for 17,000 today I am taxed at 140,000.

That's the government putting the squeeze on the middle class. Here there is a state law that puts a cap on property tax ---so to get around that they just keep raising the value of property in reappraisals to kill the middle class.

Also to maintain a large welfare class I think. At the same time we're being taxed to death to provide for a very expensive public educational system, we're bringing in millions of people who have no education at all. It doesn't make sense ---why not just quit educating Americans if we really need that many low-skilled workers and save the taxpayers some money.

Hey, you don't have to tell me about the downside of diversity.

Just because the powers-that-be believe diversity is good for them, does not mean they understand that diversity has another side--my post is about what "they" believe, not what "is" true.

But at all events, I am sure the powers-that-be are aware of the down side of diversity, but they also know that so long as people enjoy a minimal amount of prosperity (not too much, though), they will tolerate each other's differences.

Think: most of the racial/religious disaffection comes from the bottom of the economic ladder, while the higher economic classes tolerate and even excuse the worst outrages from the lower classes.

(I'm no expert on Yougoslavia--but might that example actually reinforce what Voltaire said about not having any one segment of the population outnumber all the other segments? Was not the trouble in Yougoslavia in part from a clear minority at odds with a clear majority?)

"There should be a way they can stay home and enjoy some of their own country's vast natural resources ---and most would prefer that to what they're doing.

All they have to do is grow some stones, cajones, huevos, what-cha-macallits, and throw off the yoke of oppression.....simple.

Then we can learn from and follow their lead.

I've done a whole lot of 4 wheeling around the Benson, Sierra Vista (Ft Huachuca), Tombstone, Three Points , Bisbee Areas when I was stationed at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson.

Whole lot of old mine shafts for illegals to fall in around there....... We used to find bodies all the time that were burnt almost black from the sun. Dangerous place to make an error in judgement IMHO. Trespasing on any Americans property with out permission is again IMHO a severe error in judgement.

As to that FiBi FLEA sitting on his perch waiting for the Rancher to make a mistake versus going after the illegals who are already making a mistake on a daily basis screams volumes about the state of our Nation. Fibi's are nothing more than a bunch of gundecking shitbirds anymore as far as I'm concerned.

Stay Safe Travis....

We need more citizens like him. The border patrol would look pretty foolish NOT dealing with these people when somebody else had already done most of the work.

In a little over 18 months, this part timer has handed over 3600 illegals and a ton of pot to the feds. All the while running his ranch, and paying his taxes...taxes which apparently aren't buying any border security here.

No wonder there is an FBI agent just waiting to lock him up. He's making the government look bad.

I don't feel sorry for them at all. Nor do I, and I don't feel sorry for the developer (s) who hired them for homes by the dozens in subdivisions. I said, small builders, i.e., private homes one at a time.
