[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The world sends its violent criminals and insane people right over Biden’s Border. They would be stupid not to. Only Trump cares about a civilized country.[/quote] I know this post is sarcasm, but it’s a sad commentary when it pretty much rings true. [/quote] No offense, but entire, fairly large sectors of the US economy would pretty much cease to function if we didn't have immigrants coming to the US (of which probably 99%+ are non-violent). Funny how the same people supposedly decrying the southern border are hiring contractors, landscapers, housecleaners, purchasing their food that resulted from immigrants picking the food or packing the meat, etc. BTW, who do you think is going to take care of you when you age and your kids don't want to do it (take a guess...it is a lot of those same immigrants).[/quote] What BS.[/quote] Well, that was a well-thought, reasoned response.[/quote] Short and accurate. The drain on our social service resources and public schools alone far outweigh any of these so called benefits.[/quote] Yet you will happily continue to hire all these “illegals” to do your landscaping and clean your house and paint your house and the list goes on. [/quote] No I won't. I'm not cheap like you.[/quote] Sure…because there are so many native born Americans performing these jobs. The only reason you won’t is actually because you are probably LMC and can’t afford to hire anyone.[/quote] I am definitely lower middle class. Maybe even whatever class is lower than that? :? What’s your point, exactly? That we can’t afford to hire “help”? Well duh, Captain Obvious. But even if we could, we still wouldn’t, because it’s illegal and wrong. But it’s telling about you that you think the only difference between you and I is money. We couldn’t be any more different. [/quote] I assume there are plenty of differences…but it seems like your decision not to hire these services is really a financial issue and not a moral one. FWIW, you are one of the few on DCUM highlighting your LMC status…didn’t think they existed.[/quote] What exactly is this obsession you seem to have with poor-shaming us? I am not the least bit ashamed that we earn less than you, and I would love to hear your reasoning as to why we should. And our decision not to hire illegal immigrants for home services has everything to do with moral grounds, not financial. I can say that with certainty, because even if we earned double our income, we still wouldn’t - because it’s just wrong. We’re a union household, both of us. And hiring illegals hurts union workers by depressing the wage floor in occupations where union labor used to ensure a fair wage for working people. You assume that we are different because you’re wealthy and we’re not. That’s not why. [/quote]
