My original point was why all the ruckus over a handfull of Mexicans who come here, get jobs and try to better their lives….If not for immigrant labor we wouldnt have a rail road system, for one….not to mention guys like Einstein and Werner Von Braun, they weren’t “Americans” but without them I might be writing this “auf Deutsch”

Like prostitutes these “illegals” are more victims of the government than anyone else. The guy comes here, has a job, goes to work but cant go to anyone if he is abused for fear of the government.

My little brother has insurance, he tries to hire people to work full time but he cant find people to do the work, even at way more than minimum wage (15-20/hr, they might come to work a day or tweo or even a week then they disappear, he has no choice but to use subcontractors that hire illegal immigrants who provide false documentation and are paid and have all the protections of any US worker….until something happens on the job…he falls off that roof but even though he is covered by his employers workmens comp he wont go because if he does they find out his social security number is fake and he gets deported after they patch him up. Funny thing too he is paying social security….into a system he will never get anything back from. It’s a vicious system.

Whatever happened to

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

SSI is based largely on what you paid into it, I think it tops out around 1200/month, at least thats what my statement says I would get should I become disabled today. Which brings me to the point…I didn’t see many disabled people in that video.

We have been trying to hire where I work for WEEKS and it’s above minimum wage job, but nobody wants to do it. OR they come in all pumped about how they’ll work any shift/any day, THEN when they’re hired, they start their “I don’t want to work weekends or holidays or nightshift” bullshit. OR we get the people who are just filling in time until their SSI kicks in.

There’s a hell of a difference between “no jobs” and “no job they’re willing to do when they can sit on their asses and do nothing and still collect”.
