[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever. Who’s going to clean your toilets and and staff your daycares if we don’t bring in more immigrants? Who is going to take jobs at places like McDonald’s and grocery stores? We need these people.

THEY DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH. Some don’t even speak Spanish. They speak a native dialect. Those who speak Spanish sometimes can’t even read or write in their own language. Their limited language skills don’t qualify them for much beyond manual labor.[/quote]
You sure are not racist![/quote]

Yet, what pp wrote is true. 
Many of these migrants come and are illiterate in their home language.  Especially the school aged migrants. 
And, since English is actually the language of business, if someone cannot speak English, their options are very limited.  [/quote]

Migrants are actually wealthy in their home countries or already have a relative in the US.  They need 10,000-15,000 usd minimum to cross the borders of Venezuela, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico and that’s assuming they don’t get kidnapped by the cartels for more ransom.

It is actually sometimes cheaper if they wait years and years for a visa and pay for a legal flight to the US.

Some of them even fly from Haiti or China to Mexico City or somewhere  in Latin America. The idea that migrants are poor is a myth. The poor don’t go anywhere as they can’t afford it. They stay put.

The majority do not speak English.  They come here and are dependent on taxpayers to survive in the US. 
It doesn't matter what their wealth is in their home country.  The US taxpayers are picking up the tab for these people to remain in the US.

And, it is not sustainable.  And, it will not improve with a Kamala Harris presidency.  In fact, it will only get worse. [/quote]

Speaking English has nothing to do with being poor. If you’re dirt poor, you aren’t going to be able to migrate period. You can’t afford to hitchhike and backpack across Tijuana into the US if you don’t have any cold hard cash.

The immigrants look poor to you because they don’t speak English and don’t have bank accounts or educational degrees and such, but they come from cash economies. They make money off book so on paper to Americans it may seem like they look poor. Most Central Americans are skilled laborers and jacks of all trades because they come from cash economies. Some have cartel relatives who give them cash with directives to launder in the US and use. Some work and have money or relatives in the US who send them cash for the journey here.

Poor and migrant are oxymorons. Nobody can migrate if they’re truly poor. Even in the US, alot of Americans don’t have a passport or don’t travel because they don’t have the discretionary income to afford traveling. You have to figure that many migrants aren’t able to even get though the border once they’re there due to closure so all the money they spent to get there would go to waste and they’d have to return back or stay put until the border opens again. Many people try multiple attempts and each time it’s costly so this isn’t a venture for someone poor[/quote]

Speaking English is absolutely correlated with with migrant socioeconomic status . In the vast majority of places the wealthier someone is the more likely they are to speak English. This is true in all of Central/South American countries , East Asia, South East Asia Europe, Africa. The correlation between speaking English and wealth is very strong for almost every country where English is not the primary language. [/quote]
