We have a home in a very red state, and we and the neighbors are all happily harboring an undocumented immigrant from Latin America who does tremendous yardwork for all of us. We pay very very well. And we advise on how to keep their head low and avoid ICE.
I have no qualms about this. What is going on in this country right now is morally wrong. These people work their butts off, are law abiding good people and make our country great. THEY’RE doing that. Not MAGA. |
| I don’t agree with the way MAGAs are approaching this as hunting down immigrants for sport, but there needs to be humane immigration reform. Plenty of people all over the world are in bad situations and would love to live in the US. Laws need to be respected. |
Drop me a lime with those laws or changed so that people like our guy have a realistic chance of legal immigration. Until then I’m hiding him. |
| So effectively an indentured servant? |
Yeah let dumpy and his cronies know about laws they seem to be ignoring quite a few. |
Considering that we pay him more than triple the minimum wage in our state? I don’t think so. |

They aren't law-abiding if they entered the US illegally or (more likely) entered legally and overstayed their visas.
Yes, we need to let more people into the US legally, but we also need to enforce the law. I have no love for Trump's policies, but I don't support blatantly breaking the law (or allowing that to happen), either. |
And, you are breaking the law. |
| They crossed the border illegally. They may have a criminal record at how , you do not know. They did not follow the law. Many people have to wait for years to get a visa to come to the US and follow the rules. |
Indeed. Are you willing to go to jail for years? When ICE comes, are you going to forcibly resist them? Just because you believe something is morally wrong doesn't mean you get to break the law. |
The people who harbored Anne Frank also broke the law. |
Trump and ICE are breaking the law and violating the constitution every day. It’s starting to feel like the plan is just to make the USA a country that people escape from instead of to. If we make it dumb enough and crappy enough that it’s a third world autocracy, problem solved! |
You sound like a depraved collaborator. You would probably try to turn in all the proud Americans doing this if you could find them. |
Yes, he is. It's not a violation of the criminal law. And I'm not "allowing it to happen." I didn't bring him here. |
He without sin can cast the first stone . . . |
