Should we trade people not working in this country for illegal immigrants who will work?

[OddBeMe]

There are literal poor communities, of no specific skin color, where working for money is not a priority for them.

People actually working…fyi

Yes

No

Not sure

Captain Lefty at it again cheering for open borders. I’m really baffled as to why you’re so eager to let people into this country illegally. But you’re a Lefty. It isn’t like you’re known for rationality.

[OddBeMe]

Because of tired of my tax dollars paying for out of work right wingers

No, but people need to be paid a living wage. Having illegal aliens come in to work under the table for minimum wage while the taxpayers have to subsidize them with welfare benefits is not a fair system.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[dustybiker]

That is a creative solution.

[Anonymous]

wouldn't it be nice if we could just trade people? We could send all the "Democrats" who hate the Constitution, hate people having freedoms, hate "capitalism" to socialist and communist countries, and trade them for people who want to be here.

I think one of the big complaints / differences between the illegals before Reagan and the newer ones if that most of the older ones did come here to work, whereas a lot of the newer ones come here for freebies.

[OddBeMe]

What freebies do non-citizens get from our country?

[TroyDT]

About 1/3 of Medi-Cal (California Medical Program) births are to illegals. Undocumented over 55 qualify for other assistance. Undocumented seniors and children have long been eligible for Medi-Cal and Gov. Newsom recently signed into law eligibility for Medi-Cal for all irrespective of legal status.

Even though you said "non-citizens" I limited to illegals. Legal immigrants, those who followed the law, and certified refugees of course should and do qualify for a far wider assistance. My original response was in reference to line jumpers.

[OddBeMe]

So because we limit the amount of immigrants let it legally thought we’re the cause of Mexcian, central and south American turmoil…you still want to fck over “illegal immigrants” who A) work better, B) have less crime than regular americans?

"The labor market is shitty and people are finally standing up for themselves? Sweet! Let's replace them with people who will accept shitty treatment for less pay :)" - you.

Wtf dude lol.

[OddBeMe]

Funny that not closing the borders only lets more employers pay illegals less.

Perhaps opening immigration and giving them work visas less employers will defraud the system.

[Juxtapose]

I think the border should be closed absolutely. It's a humanitarian crisis at the southern border.

[OddBeMe]

But that would make employers able to pay less for illegals…

Make immigration easier, and make them pay taxes.

[Juxtapose]

Illegal immigrants should not be in America at all and they should not be able to find employment anywhere. The logistics of this are difficult but it is a government's job to secure the borders among many other things. We don't have to just accept the situation and work around the illegal immigrants, we can have a strong border by taking all these military personnel in other countries and putting them along the border.

[MiseriaCantareAFI]

So, trade white trump supporting, lazy, christians, for the immigrants who would come here, to a free country, to work.

Sure

[jshm2]

That's not how labour and law works, bucko.

That's like asking thieves and convicts to run the prison system.

[SlothySlob]

The biggest problem here is how would they prove they're willing to work.

[OddBeMe]

By working.

[Anonymous]

Ilegal labor drives wages down so why would you work when you get more from welfare as well as free healthcare?
Low wages are why we have so many homeless.

[SiberFox]

Definetly not. Remove insentives to not work and the problem will be fixed.

[OddBeMe]

Non workers is in their genes! We must irradicate!

[Anonymous]

Sure, I would gladly rather have working immigrants than the leftists loafing around on welfare money and complains about how problematic everything is on the internet.

[OddBeMe]

Lefties or righties. I’d say all do it.

[nawtee_me]

No, where I live the illegal immigrants are lined up on almost every corner begging for money. They don't work they just want handouts

[msc545]

The question as written makes no sense to me - what are you asking?

[msc545]

Got it - never mind. My answer is maybe...

[MikeInHawaii]

I wish we could!

[Anonymous]

Good idea.
