Illegals are "the help" or "cheap labor" If Republicans said that they would be declared "racists"

Less crime per capita is such a bankrupt argument. It's still additional crimes that wouldn't happen if the illegals weren't here, that's the irrefutable bottom line. Also, if you want to break down crime statistics by demographics, I'm happy to go there, but you won't like the results...

I cut my own grass and paint my own walls. This Fall, I'll be rebuilding my own fence. The arborist who's going to take down the Hickory tree that's shitting shells all over my backyard is a ginger. I go out of my way NOT to exploit cheap, illegal labor just like I do my damnedest to buy American.

At least they are telling the truth about the economic impact. This person can try to project this as racism and servitude, that's fine, but hugely hypocritical. I'd advise taking a real hard look at who owns the businesses who are employing these workers. This community of mostly law abiding (less crime per capita than non-immigrants) low-wage workers wouldn't be mentioned at all if not for this - unless it's to brand all these people as "criminals and rapists"... so please, give me a break! Democrats have no monopoly on hiring nannies, or gardeners, or, well... eating. Just go down to deeply red Palm Beach County in FL. Pot = calling the Kettle.

You have posted this crap about crime statistics a couple of times now. If you are going to post statistics, post the source also. Aside from the fact they all are violating immigration laws, almost all a violating one or more Identity statutes. I work in the construction industry where most of the Illegals are paid as Contractors, which means they are responsible for Withholdings. Guess how many pay anything?

I've worked around thousands since the late 90's, most are decent people and I would have swim that river if I lived in some of these shitholes too. But every job in Construction that hired an illegal put some blue-collar worker out of a job in what used to be decent paying blue-collar jobs. I worked framing houses my last couple years in college, even starting out I never worked for anything close to minimum wage. In this area, roofers, drywallers, concrete workers and masons had a heavy black presence and made top dollar for their work. The illegals changed all that.

Illegals don't work harder, they aren't more skilled, they work cheap and with no legacy costs. Instead of feeling sorry for the illegals, how about some sympathy for those millions that have been fucked out of their jobs by greedy bosses over the last 35 years or so.

And yes, I'm in favor heavy penalties and jail time for employers that violate the law. If the CEO of Pulte Homes had to spend 30 days in jail, there wouldn't be an illegal on a new construction site before they locked the door on him.

BTW, there is no limit on H2A temporary agricultural visas. You can hire all the Hispanic workers you want. You just have to follow the rules and they won't be as cheap as hiring an unprotected illegal.

I bet Lakin Riley’s family is happy she was raped and killed by a group of people who commit crimes at a lower rate. What a dumb argument!
