If we try hard enough, we can end the illegal invasion of the United States and reduce the flood of invaders to a level that can be handled without the damage to society the Invasion has wrought.

What damage might this be?

You mean you can't respond?

Okie-doke.

However, it was perfectly responsive to the comparison presented.

Let's see, the fraction of the invading hordes in California are consuming roughly 20% of the state budget shortfall.

Every single one of them has committed a crime.

They're taking jobs our own indigent unskilled workforce would be doing.

They take money out of the domestic economy and ship it overseas where it doesn't do us any good.

All sorts of damage these invaders have done.

We'll be better off without'em.

Immigrants don't.

Illegal alien invaders ....you understand what the word "illegal" means?

I do.

Read the article, then comment. Thanks.

I also understand the correct usages of the word "invaders", so don't waste time quibbling about that.

Now.

What would you do if a mob of people invaded your home and wouldn't leave?

If they were cleaning the house, landscaping, washing my car, etc., I'd probably let them stay.

Not that it's a remotely valid comparison, but there you go.

No, it means your smartass comment was not relevant.

So they don't pay sales taxes? Property taxes? They buy nothing produced here? No services whatsoever?

This is the problem with your argument: it only takes into account liabilities, not assets.

No.

Begin to understand the word "illegal".

Thanks.

Of course you would, because that's not what the word "invaded" means.

The first presumption of the use of the word "invaded" is that the people weren't invited.

No, it's not.

You didn't bother to address the given scenario.

They consume billions of dollars of services.

They're clearly a burden, not a benefit.

They're performing tasks Americans can perform, thereby displacing American workers...who, because they're legal workers, pay income taxes, FICA and other wage based taxes, etc, and because they're displacing American workers, they're putting even more pressure on social services provided by tax dollars.

They are not assets.

They are criminals.

Well, it's obvious here that you're just looking to get in a pissing match rather than actually having a conversation. You'll have to just piss on yourself from here on, as I'm not interested in playing.

Buh-bye! :2wave:

No.

The "conversation" never started. You wanted me to pretend I didn't know what the word "illegal" means, and then you wanted me to read racist propaganda from a hate site.

No thanks.

Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to get their votes the way Al Franken did it?

Right, and somewhere in this thread (I'm guessing in the OP, in the copypasta'd article) it was said that engineers and all that stuff are needed. But also, how many of that 9.5% have the education/experience required to work those high level jobs? How many of the illegal immigrants have the education/experience required? Only some kind of education reform (maybe) can fix that issue, and not so much a lame "amnesty" bill.

Not all of them are totally uneducated, just like not all of them are intellectuals. The ditch diggers will dig ditches, truck drivers will drive trucks, equipment operators will operate equipment and engineers will design structures.

To believe it's a bad idea to create jobs because not everyone will want it, or qualify for it is plumb crazy.

Probably so, but they have to make some attempt at looking legit.
