Nope. It’s straight up based on your own data. Fact: Mexico is already the number one source of immigrants. Fact: Your own birth data showed that even factoring they are number one they swamp all other immigrants for children born in the US. For immigrant visas North Americans are on a percentage on par with all Asians. Yet for total birth rate in the US you showed Mexicans over all Asians 5-10:1.This is so disingenuous, but I guess you gotta say something.
This is stupid. You actlike immigrants starting businesses is a net positive to Americans...in many cases it isnt. At all
Masonry is a great example. 20 years ago the vast majority of brickmasons in charlotte were americans, black and white men doing good work.
Juan pedro valdez starts a brick crew in charlotte. He employs all amigos, probably all illegal except maybe him or his wife, who gained citizenship with an "anchor baby". Juan pays his masins 12 bucks an hour, and laborers 8...where Americans make 30 to 40% more than that...because his guys live 8 to a 2 bedroom apartment on the crap side of town, dont have cars or payments bexause they are illegal and cant get a license, etc....so Juan gets the contracts on all the new subdivisions to lay their brick, because he can underbid the americans by at least 25% due to his illegal labor. Americans are out of work. America loses.
Problem is, there isnt 1 juan....there are thousands of them. Starting those "business " that you talked about. There are so many that American masonry crews are a thing of the past here. There are zero. They cant get work, and the price to lay 1000 brick hasnt gone up in 20 years, due to the amigos. It is still about 400 dollars per thousand. Cost of living has increased dramatically for americans though, making sure that we could never make a decent living laying brick anymore. I lived through this reality.
Here is the real kicker....living 8 or 10 to a house or apartment, all of them to a man bringing their lunches everyday of leftovers from supper the night before...these guys are not only thriving and bringing more and more of their friends and family, they wire 25% or more of what they earn back to their family members in mexico or central america. That money is gone from our economy, poof!! It doesnt buy US goods or services, doesnt help us at all. It hurts our country...while juan and all of his helpers have their kids in US schools, often times draw welfare, SNAP, etc...they teach eachother how to game the system.
I cant tell you how many times i have been at the grocery store in line behind a family of amigos with 250 dollars worth of hot pockets, pizzas, microwave this and that...in addition to all the normal mexican foods...and when they get to pay they whip out the old Red White and Blue foodstamp card, and cant speak a word of english to communicate with the lady running the register. Sucks to see them abuse the system while my wife and I bargain shop and dont splurge on the "convenience foods" to make sure we stay in our budget.
But yeah Huff...just open up those borders buddy...bring em all in. Hell with our country and the people who have worked so hard and paid into the system that they abuse. Thank God there are a lot more people who think like the rest of us than there are confused people like you.
there’s minimal reprocussions on them now for using illegals to help their bottom line.It is always a net positive if the business is honest and successful. Don't eat until you can find one economist who says it isn't. I hope you don't starve.
Both Marcus and I have lived through this and you are still talking about economist who sit at a desk huff.It is always a net positive if the business is honest and successful. Don't eat until you can find one economist who says it isn't. I hope you don't starve.
This situation would take a huge step to being corrected if employers were held accountable for using illegal immigrant labor. Currently only 20 states require some form of eVerify usage. Mostly on gov employers and contractors.Both Marcus and I have lived through this and you are still talking about economist who sit at a desk huff.
How much money do you think illegals send from our economy back to their home country? Oh wait we can’t track that because of the undocumented. We don’t even have accurate figures on exactly how many illegals we have here because they come through the border illegally and undocumented.
Cut off the entry and then they have no choice but to be documented. Then deal with those undocumented who are here now. By having an open border the problems will only multiply and continue.

I don’t fault people for wanting a better life. But if illegals were cut access to employers by and large then the mechanism that enables this situation is removed.
This has been going on for over a decade. There are bills in both the House and Senate attempting to address mandatory eVerify for all employers in a phased in approach. I don’t expect it will get solved anytime soon.
So you favor regulation of businesses in this respect? You'll have to turn in your GOP card.
Yep! And have every intention of doing so going forward as long as we’re a two party system! And it’s the first time I can remember doing so in at least twenty years. You idiot moonbats created that, congrats.I didn't turn in a straight party ballot this month, did you?
