Exactly. We have to pay workers like dirt. There’s no alternative!
DP.. then why do Trump's resort keep hiring cheap foreign labor if there is alternative?

This is my country and we fought to get rid of slavery, etc. How dare any of you pull the racist-bigot card out because we have a problem with illegal immigration plus rampant legal immigration. Why do so many want to come here? We're a great country. From the SSI for legally present non-contributors to the money for community health centers serving illegals to the medicare and section 8 we are being ripped off by citizens of other countries.
Where do you want to go? Costa Rica regularly removes non-citizens. Mexico removes non-citizens. One can live there with proof of income or funds-retirees! If the USA was so racist against Hispanics , PR would have been spun off decades ago.
I'm sorry, but the southern half fought to KEEP slavery, and they wanted to keep segregation, too, not that long ago (some of us were alive back then and my spouse and I wouldn't have been able to get married without the civil rights movement). So don't pretend that "we" doesn't include some bigots and racists.
I can say we fought to get rid of slavery since my ancestors were in the Union Army. The Civil Rights. Our war and our Civil Rights have exactly what to do with the USA being flooded with illegal immigrants? Why are Mexicans in the USA a priority instead of AA's AKA Citizens?
So because your ancestors fought in the Union army it gives you more of a right and voice than anyone else? I am also doubtful about the fact that your ancestor fought in the war because he was against slavery.
Civil rights and all that don't have much to do with immigration, but YOU are the one who brought up the fact that "we fought to get rid of slavery" . I'm just pointing out that "we" is not you or anyone alive today. So, I have no idea why you even brought this whole thing up in the first place.
I used the word ancestors which is plural and includes a woman. MD [officially in Union] had CSA regiments. NOVA included what became West VA all the way up to the PA border. Given the history of the USA I firmly believe that we have to direct funding and efforts towards our own citizens and communities.

Been to Baltimore lately? So I care more about our own citizens than illegal immigrants.
That's fine, but still has nothing to do with "your" ancestors fighting for the Union who may or may not have been against slavery anyways. And Baltimore has huge issues, yes, but let's not go there because I can get into all kinds of debate about how the AA community in Baltimore isn't helping itself, ie, looting/damaging stores that serve their own community.
With all the tax cuts, even if Trump manages to kick out every single illegal immigrant (which he won't and can't), there will be no funding left to help communities out of poverty.

Because Silicon Valley money is more important
It’s not just Silicon Valley. It’s in the interest of pretty much all of the oligarchs and mega corporations to encourage mass immigration, including illegal immigration.
+1 how easily Trumpsters turn a blind eye to the fact that his first pick for Labor Sec was someone who loved cheap foreign labor.

I don't support illegal immigration but I do support children of immigrants who are stuck in limbo.
I'm also a pragmatic, the immigration system is really screwed up and needs to be reformed. There isn't the political will to do mass deportations raid

give them your job!
1. I didn't call you a racist, but I think you do protest a bit too much
2. Did you know that some R congress folks support H1Bs? Yep, Hatch, Rubio, etc.. Why don't you complain to your own party members first. Get your own house in order.
3. More illegal immigrants come from visa overstays than crossing the border illegally, and I'm guessing that the vast majority of them aren't the highly skilled H1B workers
4. Guess what.. I'm in IT. I understand perfectly well how H1Bs work. But, I'm not a hypocrite unlike Trump and those R farmers who hire foreign workers. Why is it ok for them to do it but not high tech companies? Do we have a dearth of low skilled workers?
If we want an immigration policy based on what this country needs then let's look at the type of industry/skills that Rs are saying we need - it's not the high skilled ones. It's the cheap low skilled labor. So according to them, we should be importing more low skilled workers from those sh1thole countries.
So I'm not for illegal immigration, but I have some compassion, AND I'm not a hypocrite when it comes to importing foreign labor, something the Rs seem to have much of.
I am a democrat. I detest republicans. I hate the clintons for hijacking the party and abandoning the American worker
We need to support our unions. We need to stop the Overwhelming immigration. We need to rescue our party from liberal leaders that are importing votes

Give them your job then. Easy solution
What was the problem I mentioned that would be solved with me giving them my job? You don't know the difference between illegal and legal immigration, do you? And I notice you didn't address any of the points I made.
