[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well OK then. And your point? You need to go live in MAGA land. Try that on for change.[/quote]
+1 go live in WV, OP. You'll love it.  It's got your kind of people.[/quote]

WV is actually a really nice place to live. Lots of fed employees live in JeffCo and commute on the MARC Brunswick line. Thousands of them. [/quote]
Then OP should definitely go there, no?[/quote]

This 'love it or leave attitude' isn't useful when a county needs to retain as many tax paying residents as possible in order to maintain the level of services some people have come to expect? This boundary study is sure to leave taxpayers upside down on their mortgages. Such a short-sighted move will require taxes to be raised elsewhere. Growth in MoCo is stagnant. We need to hold proper discussion.[/quote]

Montgomery County is one of the richest counties in the nation. I don't think we have to worry about taxpayers leaving. If anything, growth is what's driving people away.[/quote]

Do you think that it will remain one of the richest counties?  Importing large numbers of poor immigrants will not maintain the status quo.  You may want to import the poverty, but at least admit that it will change the tax base.  Especially when many of these immigrants work for cash only.  [/quote]

Immigrants work hard. They take care of people's children, clean their homes, cut their lawns, pave the road, bus the dishes off the tables in restaurants, renovate their homes, and on and on and on. Rich people need immigrants, now and forever. We're lucky that doing these gross jobs, for cash under the table, is a step up from their own countries otherwise wealthy people wouldn't be able to make use of them. It's win-win.[/quote]

Yep.  This is why there is such a push for welcoming illegal immigration.  Why pay more for your lawn service when someone will do it for dirt cheap?  Why bother with OSHA regulations if you’re a contractor?  Easier to hire illegal immigrants who won’t report violations anyway.

It pays big time for the wealthy to embrace illegal immigration because they are the ones benefiting from it.

As long as that is the case, nobody has much incentive to fix the illegal immigration problem.  [/quote]

"As long as [it keeps working for everyone involved" nobody has much incentive to fix the illegal immigration problem."

Correct. It's working so why fix it?[/quote]
