MD, If these immigrants didn't come to the US, who will do the farm work in Texas, California and other states in the country? From what I've seen, they do many of the labor intensive work here in SF. Do homegrown Americans really want to do these work anyway? IMO, the US is still the land of opportunity for those who are economically oppressed and deprived from other lands like Mexico and Central America. The immigrant condition is simply a question of supply and demand for work and laborers.
Would building an impregnable fence in the southern border be the economically feasible solution? Probably not, It would create labor shortage and rise of labor costs in areas mentioned above. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Feste, yeah, I'll agree it's wild but unfortunately it's pretty darn true. But consider this. Mexico's population used to be around 70 million. Current figures estimate illegals at closer to 30 million.< Most, these days, are coming from Central America. Entire generations are leaving Central America to go to El Norte where there are relatives, jobs, social programs and schools for their kids. They undercut our citizens for jobs, stagnating wages here and keeping our citizens unemployed and on welfare programs.< Of course, when you have a household with a million kids and an income of minimum wage or less, you'll qualify for just about every social program on the books and nobody can legally ask you of your immigration status. This strains the social system. It will have to collapse sometime. All we need is another recession like the one we had in 2007-2008.< Even SS, which we all pay into, all our lives, is feeling the strain right now. <Nobody will stop this crap because the Chamber of Commerce wants illegal employees, because they are cheap, keep'm under 30 hours and you don't have to pay healthcare costs, etc and Republicans are all too willing to support that and Democrats want another underclass to exploit for their vote.< As for the middle east, even Chucky Schumar is backing out on Obama's Iran *deal*. And if he is, it won't be long before the rest of Jews in Congress do and I can't blame them.It doesn't prevent Iran from getting the bomb. It just insures that they are left alone for the next decade or fifteen years. At the end of the deal, they'll be a month or so from a brake- out to having several bombs.Plus all sanctions are being lifted and they'll have plenty of money to pay for their mischief.

What better way than to invite 25% or more of Central America in , put them on welfare to subsidize their cheap labor and allow them to vote, while not having jobs for citizens and making them dependent on Government to take care of them. Meanwhile, the Caliphate grows and gets nukes without interference from the west and maybe even protection from Israel. From: "Bhairitu noozguru@...
