| mountaindewslave said: illegal immigration is the opposite of the problem with the US. immigrants, especially illegal Mexican ones, fill in a big part of the lower bracket of the economy, i.e. jobs that educated people do not want. those focusing on the need for a 'wall' are really out of touch with how the bottom of the US economy works. you cut off those desperate for low wage jobs and then who is randomly going to fill them? I'll tell you who- people who regularly could get better jobs will be forced to get worse ones because the economy will get damaged. you break the legs of an economy and it can collapse. again, people saying "We need a wall!" have no idea how many illegals without paperwork are getting low income jobs under the books that help the economy. And the thing is an immigrant from Mexico might actually be happy making the wages they do (in some cases secretly below the minimum US wage), but a lot of born eductated American citizens wouldn't be happy with the same pay (or be able to survive).
a wall will only hurt the United States. Mexican illegal immigrants are not hurting the country because at this point the economy relies on them to fill out a low income job bracket (look at like practically every 7-11 or gas station you go into at who's working and figure it out in your head- a lot of those types of employees are being paid behind the books and in many cases aren't citizens).
I'm just emphasizing that a wall is stupid and will just hurt the structure of the economy, like a pyramid so to speak. if huge swarms of drug activity was flying into the country in the form of violence that would be different, but its not really happening. sure, some towns that border Mexico are quite violent, but beyond that nothing has drastically changed across the USA because of the influence of Mexican illegals. most of them are just looking for better jobs and lives, and even the lowest paying minimum wage jobs here are in some cases BETTER than what they can get in Mexico |
I believe you and every democrat are the ones out of touch. An illegal immigrant comes into a job opportunity with a social security number from a deceased American citizen. The employer hires this illegal immigrant and fires the legal American citizen because he realizes that he can pay the illegal immigrant less money. An intelligent person would notice that this is Identity Theft/Identy Fraud according to the Department of Justice. What does Obama do? He says that since the illegal immigrant paid into social security using a fraudulent social security number, then he is elligible for social security benefits.
This is just one of the moronic things stated in Obama's Congressional Research Service memorandum back in 2014 and can be read here:

If an American citizen stole and used someones social security number, they would be in jail and classified as a criminal. When an illegal immigrant (criminal by definition) does it, they get a free pass and are given more at the American citizen's expense.
Every employer who hired an illegal immigrant should get a hefty fine to deter future employees from hiring illegals in the future. Every illegal immigrant should also pay a fine and for the taxes that they never paid. Doing so will give them a path to legalization if they have no criminal record. The refusal of citizenship for illegal immigrants is imperative to discourage future illegal immigrants from coming into this country.
You mention that only "some towns that border Mexico are quite violent". Are those people not important enough to build a wall and protect them. Isn't that the presidents top priority: to protect the American people?
It amazes me how democrats put illegal immigrants (criminals) before American citizens who follow the laws of the land. Oh I am sorry Kate Steinle, the democrats didn't care that you followed the laws of the land. Instead they favored a man who was deported 5 times and then decided to kill you in a city that harbors and protects criminals.
