Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I'm not sure how we got from welfare cheaters to the iraqi war and mexican immigrants, but I'll point out again that I still havent heard anyone say what problem they're trying to solve with this new immigration push or how they're going to successfully close the borders of a country this large, evict the existing immigrant population, and then deal with the economic problems that result. No fruit/veggie pickers, construction jobs, cleaning jobs, child care.
We've got people that wont stand in an air conditioned building at a cash register to get $8 an hour to ask "would you like fries with that?". But they're going to stand out in 100 degree heat around my area picking peaches, plums and walnuts? They're going to work 9pm to 5am cleaning a walmart? They're going to watch 4 small kids? They're going to haul 60lb packs of asphalt shingles up a ladder?
Get real.
I guess its a lot easier for rich people to blame the immigrants than to admit that a good size chunk of the population would rather cheat, steal or "work the system" than work an 8-5 job.
You've all got one. The little brother, niece, cousin, friends kid...that wont work at a job. Lays around all day. Now you know the middle class version. Take away half their education, and slap a corn dog and a budweiser in their hands at 10am and you've got a good idea of who you're expecting to climb a ladder next to a tree or scrub a floor. :
