No fruit or vegetables for you, Dave, for an entire year. Or, you
can
openly
admit your understanding that of all the produce picked HERE IN THIS
COUNTRY, 80% of the labor is done by illegals and YOU LIKE EATING
THE
RESULTS.

Yeah - but many of them do alright. I know illegals that own have
taken out mortgages and purchased their own homes. There is just
about zero enforcement of our immigration laws once you get into this
country.

I'd rather have productive illegal neighbors who appreciate living here.
Newcomers are often hungry for knowledge about their new home, and as a
result, end up being better informed citizens than "real Americans"
who've
become complacent.


You mean like the complacency to look the other way when immigration
laws are being broken?

Dave

It's irrelevant. All that's important is whether people make meaningful
contributions to society, and help preserve peace and order by being good
neighbors. The only difference between you and an illegal immigrant is a
piece of paper from Big Government.

That and the fact that I was born here. I don't need no "steenki'n"
piece of paper.

But I agree with your point. I try not to "label" anyone beyond
"productive" and "dependant". Where they originally came from is
irrelevent. So let's welcome the formerly illegal migrant workers with
open arms, and lets deport all of our career welfare recipients. But
they have to learn English first.....
