Joe and Jose...

[tran]

I still don't get all you guys who are so focused on the illegals instead of our own bureaucracy. "Jose Illegal" is not getting food stamps. He did not come here to get food stamps. He came here to get a job and provide a better future for his family. That sounds a little like the American dream doesn't it?

Don't get me wrong. I am not in favor of illegal immigration. We certainly need reform and we need to seal both borders. Immigrant laborers need to be accounted for and pay their fair share as immigrant laborers. They don't need to be given citizenship in order to work here. They are a necessary part of our work force since we have created a generation of legal American citizens who continue to bring more children into single parent homes that are funded by food stamps, government vouchers and trips to the ER for a common cold.

The fact that everyone hates Jose Illegal is a joke. Jose illegal is contributing a service to our economy at a 40% discount to Joe Legal according to your numbers. Without Jose Illegal, everything you buy starts going up in price because there aren't enough Joe Legals in the workforce because Joe Legal is a subsidized government titty baby. For those of you who fail to see the picture, you are greatly in need of an economics lesson.

To use an old cliche from the past, don't hate the player, hate the game. Channel your anger and hate into efforts to reform our own entitlement system, so our own citizens will have to get jobs instead of sitting on their fat assess in housing paid for by the government and eating cheese puffs and soda paid for by the government. Jose Illegal will not have work because if given the choice, his boss would hire an able bodied American if he could find one who wanted to work half as hard as Jose. Jose illegal is not taking jobs from people who want them. He is taking jobs that no one else will do.

Try to stop buying into all the right wing media hype that has you thinking Joe Illegal is our problem. Lazy Americans and a system of entitlements are our problem. Spend more time bitching about the people who keep popping out babies and contributing nothing to our society than the dude that is busting his ass all day to keep your construction cost low and all evening to keep the dishes clean at your local restaurant. Trust me, you don't want either of his jobs and you definitely don't want both of his jobs.

What part of Illegal do you not comprehend?

So, its cool to start racist threads on OSA?

Illegal immigrant is a race now?

Illegal immigrant is a race now?

No, they are Illegal! They need to face charges just like anyone else that broke the law.

 

[KOPBET]

It's such bs.

Illegals cannot get food stamps etc.

Oh SNAP!

I think you are the one lacking comprehension. As I stated, "I am not in favor of illegal immigration." What I've tried to do without success is help you understand how your narrow minded thinking has you focused on the symptom, not the problem. Even if you run all of the illegals out of here and block the border, you are still left with a bunch of government leaches and a workforce that is lacking. Directing your anger at Jose the Mexican is misguided.

His mind is too narrow to comprehend much.

So.... For every Illegal we can find getting foodstamps... Lets say you pay 1000 a head...

Because thats BS that they arent getting foodstamps.... Just like illegals shouldnt be getting into our high schools... colleges.. and ETC..

 

[ronny]

If you think illegals are a bigger problem then where our politicians are taking us with their BS you are also part of the problem. I personally like illegals more than I like politicians.

It's not a question of which is the bigger problem. They are both big problems and should both be addressed. If we can't walk and chew gum at the same time, we deserve what we get.

Nobody's kidding you. Social Anthropologists include most Mexicans in the Caucazoid group, so technically, it's racist to see racism in this thread.
