[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like why do you all care so much? What affect will it have on your daily life? Is it the thought that somewhere in America a family without the proper paperwork and time in bureaucratic limbo might be having a happier and higher quality of life? Does that keep you awake at night? That someone might be getting something for free? Why doesn’t it bother you that rich Americans get unearned benefits at your expense? Your economic unease is due to money grubbing top .01% of Americans, not Hispanics fleeing countries torn apart by America’s insatiable appetite for illegal narcotics.[/quote]

My real estate taxes just assessed 6% higher. My home will not sell for more though. 70% of FfX county taxes go to schools and Health & Human services.  Yes I pay. Dearly[/quote]

And you benefit greatly.  A new generation of educated Americans is the engine for economic growth. [/quote]

Such BS.  Let’s bring in that “new generation” legally.  We have laws.  Let’s enforce them.  [/quote]

We have TO S of people in our own country who need to be educated. Like the entire state of Oklahoma or Baltimore, say.

The only reason we ‘like’ immigrants is because we can force them to do labor in terrible conditions at very low rates of pay. Companies like to import slaves and then cry that they ‘have to because these are the only people who will do the work!’ And yet if the companies paid a fair wage Americans would go those jobs.

This isn’t ‘Jesus, Mary and Joseph’ - they would be turned away as they’re not from the right country. It’s not to ‘educate’ them - especially if their parents are working 2 jobs to survive & they’re never home- it’s for Americans to have cheap produce, meat & other goods and household help. With their low wages it’s the low and middle income Americans who are stressed with the higher taxes needed to pay for their schooling and social services (lawyers, healthcare, food stamps). But the rich just keep getting richer - both the corporations & the citizens that use their labor.

We should be selecting a wide variety of immigrants and we should be treating them fairly with decent wages, working conditions and opportunities. [/quote]

Trump's policies have raised rates for migrant workers.  Wages are discussed at 3:30 in the episode.  Pay went from $8.70/hr  to $21/hr for farm workers.

Trump raising wages will attract more migrates, which will increase the fear mongering and threat levels of his base to get them out to vote. Brilliant politics! You’re being played anti-immigrant folks.[/quote]

The economy is good and fewer people want to come here now because of Trump.  Wages might entice some people to try to cross but a lot of people probably just won't bother.[/quote]

More likely - Trump is determined to enforce our laws and protect our borders better than and Democratic candidate will do. 
THAT, my dear, is what will attract his base (and others who are[b] tired of illegal immigration[/b]).  [/quote]

Why are you tired of illegal immigration? How has it impacted you personally? 
[/quote]

My family has many blue-collar workers and it has negatively impacted them and their trades.  Thank God some trades require licensure or they'd be even more negatively impacted than they already have been.[/quote]
