[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll tell you what’s good about illegal immigration

They make good food

They clean houses, office buildings, hotel rooms, restaurants, schools

They have cleaned my house in particular for over 10 years

They pick produce

They do my landscaping

They helped clean out my house after a hurricane

They put my roof on

They groom my pets

They make excellent food and serve and deliver it

They do laundry

They do your nails and wax you

They drive Ubers and taxis

And a thousand other things

Harassing underdocumented immigrants and making them afraid to go to work is why food prices and the prices of everything are going up everywhere.

In the US system, you are basically stuffed if you don’t have medical care or some sort of pension for when you are old or unable to work. You need people to be here legally to be able to participate in those systems. And, yeah, maybe you should be paying more for your produce and manicures so those workers can have those basic levels of [/quote]
