I used white as an example, they could be black, chinese, korean, even legal mexicans. Doesn't matter the color.

ILLEGALS are not IMMIGRATING. Immigration is legal. What they are doing is not legal.
Mentalist said:You're pointing out exactly what I am saying. They are willing to work cheaper, you stop that malarky and you have solved the problem. Not adding 3000+ watchtowers and hiring countless border patrol guards.
Let me see if I can make this clear to you, you fucking dolt:
ILLEGALS are not IMMIGRATING. Immigration is legal. What they are doing is not legal.
And all of the different points that have been raised here, from depression of local economies to tax burdens on the legal population demonstrate why what these people are doing is wrong, and thus why it is illegal.
WordInterrupted said:Obviously it isn't legal now. I'm arguing that we should abolish the quotas and allow them to immigrate legally.

I didn't say it wasn't illegal. So's a lot of stuff. But Employers will turn a blind eye to that because maximizing profits, is, wait for it, profitable.
You can curb this shit easily enough, without closing borders. That was my point, and I made it and its solid becuase its true.
They are allowed to immigrate legally -- this is the part you're obviously either too brainwashed or too naturally stupid to understand: They choose not to do it legally.
The Question said:I'm frankly appalled that you can be so cold when shrugging off the suffering of fellow human beings.
That's no excuse for defending employers who break the law with their employment habits, any more than it is when defending them for unsafe environmental practices or substandard production practices that threaten consumers.
You're suggesting that competition in the work force is a good thing -- but illegals are not a legal work force.
Same thing if the employer loses out of its pocket what they cost the local economy.
WordInterrupted said:If color doesn't matter, they why did you say "white person" in the first place. you could have said "citizen" without even mentioning race, but you didn't.
WordInterrupted said:...and it would be much easier to check up on them if they were all legal. The solution to this problem is to legalize immigrants from Latin America and enforce minimum wage laws, not spend a bijillion dollars on boarder security.
IT WAS AN EXAMPLE JESUS CHRIST!
And I agree with you that it's profitable for employers -- so take away the profits they gain by doing it.
And yes, our borders should be secure, or they're not real borders. As I've already pointed out, we already have all the military personnel and hardware necessary to do the job -- we're simply squandering it carrying out somebody else's vendetta.
Mentalist said:You're missing the point of what I am saying. I AGREE with you. I KNOW its illegal we're talking about STOPPING the problem, the discussion is on HOW to best go about it.
WordInterrupted said:I think you can learn a lot about people by looking at the examples they use.
Mentalist said:Thats because they are willing to work harder for less money. If every company is checked up on more and made sure to be paying minimum wage to everyone then there will be no incentive to hire these people over regular citizens.
jack said:So, we do the American thing, which is to take advantage of those in the guise of using the American Way to uplift them, and split the profits with the upper class.
WordInterrupted said:Immigrants are people just like we are. I don't think someone born in Mexico or Guatemala has any more or less of a right to earn a living than someone born in the U.S.
Militarizing the boarder would cost billions upon billions of dollars a year--you would spend much more money on the tens of thousands of boarder agents it would take to seal the boarder than you would save on social services. The most cost effective way to raise wages is to enforce minimum wage laws. Sealing off the boarder isn't about saving money, it's about keeping out the brown people. It's about keeping the nation white and "racially pure."
