    Idk why conservatives have to make up crime rate stats or stories about how illegals get tons of government benefits (even though a lot of them are paying money into Medicaire and social security that they’re never going to get back).

    I have a lot more sympathy for (and largely agree with) the argument that we simply don’t need more unskilled workers in this country. Right now the economy is at full employment and the most unskilled workers can get a job that pays 11-12 bucks an hour and I don’t want that dynamic to change by increasing the supply of unskilled labor.
    I over heard Mexicans chatting in the break room. One of them was using the tired ole picking fruits argument. Fortunately another woman with heavy accent argued that she had to work up the ladder and now others aren't

    Why they argue crime rates etc is probably because arguing skill based immigration policy is counter argued by many with claims of racism - "you just want more Europeans because they look like you". Or "you destroyed our/their countries, so you owe it to us/them"

    ... because Repugs know 10Ms, 100M?, Americans are racist, are xenophobes, and most of them are living precariously payday to payday (thanks, oligarchy!), so browns and blacks get scapegoated as causing problems for whites, are the ones lower quintile Americans can look down on, and hate, and keeping voting for racist Repugs against their best interests.

    "it is said" that Americans, even conservative ones, want socialized medicine's affordable health care, but refuse it because it would help all Americans, including those lazy, criminal, filthy, mofo blacks and browns. iow, Americans would rather themselves over than include blacks and browns.

    The slave trade turns out, 200+ years ago, to have been the worm still burrowing into the American apple.

    What numbers are the conservatives making up and who is the mastermind conservative giving out the orders?

    The US is sending 5,000 troops to the border. Here’s what they can and can’t do.


    They can fly aircraft and lend support, but they can’t detain anybody.


    “Operation Faithful Patriot,”

    will include military police, pilots, and engineers and will be in the area from November 5 to December 15.

    would increase the number of US military personnel at the Southern frontier to roughly 7,000 —

    about 5,000 more than America has in
    Syria to fight ISIS and

    approximately
    one-third the size of the entire Border Patrol force at the US-Mexico line.

    US law forbids them from physically detaining individuals at the border.

    We need Mexicans because they are hardworking and no one else will pick the fruit. Didn't you get the memo?

    there might be a number of reasons we need immigrants you haven't thought of because you speak of immigrants as an unalloyed evil.

    that's not a realistic view,

    We have about 30 pages explaining why it is a problem.

    Why is this a non-problem and why am I scared?

    This is your claim.

    It's not a problem if you want to get free votes to support your big government goals. Big government that will increase even more to support an ever growing underperforming percentage of the population. Jack up them taxes and ruin what brings the best talent in the world to the US. Of course while flooding the country with underperforming illegals seeking entry into the massive welfare state paradise. But they won't be illegals by then because we'll have open borders. Sounds like success.

    Illegal immigrants can't vote. We've been over this.

    So of the 5000-ish in this caravan, how many do you expect to (1) come all the way to the US border, (2) enter the US, and (3) have a child, who will stay in the US for 18 years and become a voter?

    Is it the same ratio as Democrat candidates to Democrat candidates who have expressed support for open borders? Guessing it's pretty close.
