And some in the United States still do not believe that we need a wall at the border. Don't be deceived, as you give your country away.

Amen.

The folks who know we don't need to squander billions building a wall that runs the length of our border have bothered to look at the facts instead of listen to Trump. PTL. We need to use that money in smarter ways to improve our country. Thanks for the article about how Trump's cruel policies of separating babies, little innocent kids & parents haven't been an effective deterrent at all.

Bob, I think well enough of your intelligence that you should be able to figure out that that's not what I mean. What you're writing in this post is a classic example of a: False Dilemma

I've had several businesses if I may ask how many have you had?

Your post seems not to relate to the thread?

M-Bob
And they were all Union Wage for your employees?
Business owners know that foreign workers will
work hard for the companies growth in the early
years and no entry level workers means no company.
I currently have two employees creating books
on topics I've researched.

foreign workers

Foreign workers are great I have known and do know plenty.

Illegal immigrants are a different story. There's just something about that word (illegal) that bothers many.

Should be noted, what's wrong with coming here legally as so many do?

Last week our Mexican maid showed up with three Mexican helpers with her. As usual they did a good job cleaning our house and apparently they all knew how to get to the United States legally.

The peanut farming community I lived in as a kid has been hiring illegal immigrants to do the work nobody else wants to do for decades now. They do a good job, for lower pay. Now some of those who are illegal are able to become legal. It's not this simple process. It can take 30 years or more. That's not an exaggeration. Unless you personally verified that each of the workers was in the US legally I'm not sure you can make that claim. AAR, I think it's head up the rear end stupid to deport folks who are contributing to the economy, paying taxes, doing work. Focus on deporting violent criminals, not folks out working in peanut fields, cleaning houses, doing work that needs to be done but Americans stick their noses up in the air at doing it.

The US was founded by people seeking refuge and seeking opportunity
to live a better life. As many as have that dream of building a better
future for themselves, we should embrace their desires becasue those
who want to work help everyone live a better life.

Most companies are built on the foundation of such people which creates
employment for people at all levels.

Keeping such people out means they build their businesses in other countries
and don't employ anyone here. Then we have to seek out their products
there instead of locally.

Likely they are not legal. Companies must "clean house" about
every three months. Likey I know your workers last names
and I might know their SS number as well.

Two of my grandkids have an illegal immigrant for a father.
One of them has a 6 year ballet scholarship.
She's quite talented.

Do not fear -- do not worry -- for we let in 1 million people a year into this country -- ones that do it (legally) we don't really need more than that per year.

I think you're wrong they're probably legal they've been cleaning our house and many others for about 10 years and drive better cars than probably you or I.

What do you mean you know their last names and their social security numbers who are you trying to kid?

Undocumented workers use the same names and SS numbers for 100's of people.
Here they drive to Chicago 2 hours away to pick up their pay.
