Just wait for it. He was going to say that immigration isn't the problem, it's the lazy n* that are.

Are you worried that some illegal is going to steal your job super.fly? Get educated and trained in a skill that is viable and profitable. The "typical" border jumper has at most a 6th grade education and cannot speak English, so if he does take your job it must not have been anything worth crying over.

I don't like the fact that people like yourself working low level jobs are going to ride my coattails and eventually raise my costs.

If you would get a real job and cover your own costs then things would be fine.

The only people that don't care about the cost of health care are the people that do not work and do not contribute to the pot.

PS. In case anyone has not noticed, health care costs are now going up.
Listen bitch, I pay more taxes in one month then you probably do all year, and since I've yet to breed I don't get a penny of it back. If you're so worried about the cost of health care I suggest you get a job with a better health insurance plan.

LOL. This was both funny and dumb.

I'm apathetic towards amnesty. The pros and cons should be highlighted and implementing it should not be presented and interpreted as a sure fix to the decades-worth of social issues.

I wish there was a way to do an updated Bracero Program for the 2000s. A way to bring workers in to do the seasonal or migrant jobs that frankly most people in the US can't or won't do. This provides a way to track who is here, make sure their work environment is safe, and though we'd pay more for products but not as much as if we paid citizens the 10+ dollars an hour they want.

Granted the original Bracero act was full of issue with treatment and racism, and it was war time, but if people are doing the jobs anyway, why not provide a way to do it that covers more of the bases for workers, consumers, and employers, as well as government.

The U.S. issues out H-2 Visas which cover agricultural workers, but that's nowhere near the scope of the bracero program.

LOL. If it is madmax, I never had a problem with him. I always appreciated his larger points and ignored his ignorant points.

We had an amnesty in the late 80s. It was supposed to be a One time only fix all for the illegal immigrant problem. 20 years later we have 18-20 million illegals living here, hence the contention people have over the idea of another amnesty.

Hey clown, it doesn't take a genius to figure you out.

Low post count in this type of thread...c'mon son.

Step your game up.
