Why do people have issues with illegal workers here?

[Anonymous]

Musk was one in the 1990s, but look at him now. He did pretty good for himself even though he was here and working as an illegal.

While they have a point, illegals shouldn't be able to work, it's also rooted, in racism

We're all illegal. We all immigrated here, some 700 years ago (1492), but, what republicans don't like, are "non-white illegals". So, they make it all about "mexicans crossing the border"

There were no laws when my father's family came over (not on The Mayflower, but in that convoy).

[GAGsucksballs89170]

It's implied, duded

[Asker]

How can you break a law that doesn't exist?

[GAGsucksballs89170]

It's implied. We took someones land, and brutally slaughtered them

[Asker]

They made no claim to it. They lived there and we did too.

[GAGsucksballs89170]

No, they lived here. We didn't. We took their land, and slaughtered them

[Asker]

Technically the first settlers didn't take their land insofar as they were allowed to build their own city.

They undercut American wages, they collect welfare and other benefits, They drive unregistered and uninsured vehicles. They clog up the emergency rooms.,
Being a roofer used to be a pretty good job years ago but now it is all done with illegal labor.

[Asker]

That's because people hire them to do these jobs because they are cheaper and done as well or better.

[exitseven]

Still, Americans are being put out of jobs and taxpayers are still on the hook. .

[Dargil]

Try to apply logic and reason to your question.

[exitseven]

@Dargil hahahaah yea, right

[Dargil]

@exitseven Actually, the Mexican and Canadian tariffs will last a week. Mexico has already capitulated and Canada will come around in a few days.

A trade was will emerge with China which will escalate. We have a roller coaster ride coming.

[exitseven]

Yes, China will not be as easy to come to an agreement with. They have a lot more to lose.

[Dargil]

@exitseven And our reliance on them is greater. So is their damage and infiltration here. It will focus on an UNMADE campaign promise to become (more) economically independent from China.

[exitseven]

Yes, we need to produce out own prescription drugs for one thing. We are paying hundreds of dollars a month for meds and the drug companies have to have it made in China to save 50 cents a pill?

[Dargil]

@exitseven And stop buying Chevys and Buicks made in China.

[exitseven]

Both of my vehicles have been Fords and they are both made in American factories, at least the sticker on the windshield says so.

[Dargil]

@exitseven As are mine; both with good ol' gas guzzling, plant food producing V8's.

[exitseven]

302 V8.

[Dargil]

@exitseven 350 small block. 5.4 Intech.

True he's a criminal. But he passed this MAGA test:

[exitseven]

what am I looking at? Color blindness test?

Musk was an "illegal" and still is, but Trump fawns over his money, so lets him stay. Plus Musk has been issuing edicts as if he were a confined member of Trump's White House. He has been threatening legal workers. I guess his Nazi salute makes that okay with Trump.

[Anonymous]

If an ilegal worker created thousands of jobs like Musk and didn't steal jobs and drive wages down no problem.

Ignorance: they believe what fox news tells them. They've never actually met any.

Melania wasn't a citizen when Barron was born. Perhaps he needs to be deported back to Slovenia.

It is their skin color that racist people in the US object to, not their immigration status. Nobody has a problem with Swedish workers here in the US.
