As long as people believe this bullcrap, illegal immigration will continue and current illegals will not be deported. In reality, as the cheap labor market shrinks, pay will go up and the unemployed LEGAL workers will take the jobs and benefit from the increased pay.

Or the farmers will go out of business -- which is the real answer. Many can't afford to pay "unemployed LEGAL workers." An ugly fact of life.

The main cause of illegal immigration is not that these people cross the border, but that there are Americans who hire them.

Approximately 28% of all all prisoners in our prison systems are illegals.

To state that having illegals here actually helps our economy is concret evidence that you have what is commonly called "Head up Arse" syndrome.

LEGAL immigrants who did NOT suck at the welfare state teat.

And you can thank LBJ for the current situation.

You keep digging up that bit of history. I'm more concerned with who I'll thank for ending the current situation, and what we'll do about immigration in the meantime.

Can you not see the difference between a wall that keeps citizens in and a wall that keeps noncitizens out?

Yeah walls with mines and sharpshooters are great aren't they.

Is that a "no, I can't see the difference"?

So let them find another line of work. Bad enough they get billions in taxpayer subsidies, without steering our country toward Third-World-toilethood so they can stay in business.
