"look at these poor undocumented immigrants -- we should make life better for them."
What I really don't get is how incapable the bleeding hearts are of understanding that immigration hurts the weakest Americans. Wages are driven down. See that crew of criminal alien hispanic landscapers? See the unemployed American blacks in your city? Think really hard and try to connect the dots...
This dynamic applies well farther up the economic food chain.
- truthseeker 15y agoSee that crew of criminal alien hispanic landscapers? Are you being serious or are you having a bad day? I would be scared to be around someone like you who makes such sweeping generalizations.
- rubashov 15y agoAre you really this naive about the landscaping business in much of the country? In a great many cases you can reliably assume people are here illegally.
- sorbus 15y agoI really hope that you have citations for that. Not saying that you're correct or incorrect (I have not personally gone out of my way to find landscapers and determine whether they're legal residents or not, so I obviously have no data points to contribute), but in the absence of some sources - or at the very least a few anecdotes! - it sounds like you're making sweeping generalizations about groups of people, possibly based on their appearance.

Repressive government policies. Exactly. We're supposed to believe the free market is efficient and useful, but that free people are inefficient and problematic.
