Sounds like you're fixating on the wall hoping it's going to fix problems in your life. It won't. It's real important you understand that sooner than later. Before more time is wasted. It just feels cruel to me that there's folks such as yourself who are believing in the propaganda he's selling. I'm betting a bunch of those folks in Orlando aren't illegal. They'll stay put no matter what, on account of them being entitled to.

Walls work. Hence there use on any fortified establishment. Banks, prisons, hazmat yards, safe houses, hollywood celebs houses......

Trump's resorts give out visas to folks from Central America to work in jobs just like the ones you've said have been taken up in Orlando. He gives the visas to them on account of how those folks are willing to come in, bust their butts working hard for crappy pay nobody born in America would take.

Correction: Could take. I couldn't afford to jump onto someone's truck outside of home depot for 80 bucks a day. Some of the people I knew got paid $4 an hour. I have a mortgage,2 little girls (at the time) car payments, insurance (house and 2 cars), internet & cable, Cell phones, electric, girl scouts, Cheerleading, Soccer, food, clothing, Doctors appointments, Orthodontist (braces), 2 dogs... etc.

In my grandparent's area of Georgia there's a thriving migrant community that works the farms. It's backbreaking work. Lots of the white folks in the area are overweight, out of shape, they're grandparents at age 40, they're not willing to get up & do that sort of work. Turn their noses up at it. They live off the government instead & blame all their problems on the migrants. Meanwhile the migrants learn how to adapt. Learn English. Have their kids learn it. Obey the law. Buy houses, pay taxes. Everybody has to learn how to adapt to things to survive.


Now this seems like propaganda.

If we could do something about all the illegals taking jobs in central florida; I have a real chance of restarting my career.

I truly am sorry for everything that's happened to you, and FWIW, the ez-pass thing in particular frosts me. But ^^^THIS^^^ is a fantasy. Even if we had an effective policy to clear out all of the illegals, it would still take several years to have a real effect, at which point you'd be pushing 50 and have been out of that industry even longer.

From what you've described, your best bet is to just learn Spanish. Even up here in Baltimore, most of the contractors I've had through my house used it to speak to their crews.

Facebook closed both of his accounts. He had one for his coffee business and one for news.
I suspect that they canceled his accounts because of posts like one....
Brian Kolfage

At the bottom of his above post it says Freedomdaily.com. Freedom Daily has been rated as a fake news website by Politifact who has been working with Facebook to clean up Facebook.

I have found no reason to think that Kolfage is being dishonest in collecting funds for the wall. It seems like something that he would do.

So left wing interests are working to clean up Facebook of right wing opinion. what a surprise.

Say.... we should work on setting up some kind of system of 'representation' for us Americans.

Like some sort of "House of Representatives" where these 'representatives' meet to discuss and debate the demands of American voters.

We ought to. First, though, we will have to get rid of the House of Representatives we currently have that pretend to meet and discuss and debate the demands of American voters while only being truly interested in the welfare of their political party which is the key to their using politics as their career choice. If you see politics as your career and the people most important for the continuance of that career as the leaders of your political party, what kind of representative are you? A party representative.

FreedomDaily.com has since been taken down but you can see the original version of the page here:

If "right wing opinion" consists of over-dramatized headlines that make a contamination sound deliberate AND the use of the wrong company's imagery to promote the story, then maybe "right wing opinion" deserves to be cleaned up. If "right wing opinion" wants broader access to the public, then maybe "right wing opinion" should spend more time trying to be accurate.

Nah, thanks... I appreciate the sentiment but Im fine. We all have our lives to live. I'm here on a computer so it must not be too bad. Just really tight.

and FWIW, the ez-pass thing in particular frosts me.

It really is a stupid law. I have never been in an 'at fault' accident or ever received a moving violation. A parking ticket a some speeding tickets. Never even failed a DOT check. Now I can't drive.

Full disclosure, I did receive a speeding ticket for going 130 mph in a jeep grand cherokee. This is why I never had a bike.

But ^^^THIS^^^ is a fantasy. Even if we had an effective policy to clear out all of the illegals, it would still take several years to have a real effect, at which point you'd be pushing 50 and have been out of that industry even longer.

I do not know how long it would take. Truth be told, either way, I need to take what opportunities are currently viable.

From what you've described, your best bet is to just learn Spanish. Even up here in Baltimore, most of the contractors I've had through my house used it to speak to their crews.

JFYI I was born in washington DC raised in Manchester MD, Carroll County. I miss MD.

For me in my situation spoken language is important. However there is still a complete inundation of illegals in cent fl. Not just latino's either. It hurts any american regardless of race when people can not compete because the illegals earn less than a living wage. I've seen them 15 deep in a 500 sqft studio apt all sharing the rent. They get paid under the table, no taxes. They have ebt. And receive packages from home with food and stuff. A peso is like 5 cents american, so it is actually cheaper for their families to send them care packages than it is to spend money here.

But left wing opinion doing the same sort of thing is not a problem.

And you want to spend 5 billion dollar on "I dont know"?

We already spend trillions on "I don't care that it doesn't actually help anyone" what's a measly 5 billion more on "I don't know ".

You think that would work? How would such a system even be implemented?

Go Fund Me government. Instead of Twoparties deciding what to spend based upon their donors wishes and their own personal and party interests , the citizens get to decide what is worth spending on.

Yes and I would rather they be necessary for illegal entry as they are somewhat easier to combat than someone just walking unencumbered by any barrier. I suppose you live in a house without locks on the doors because there are crowbars and lock picks.
