[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5123407, member: 24302"] Tell me something, where did your ancestors come from? And in the past hundred years? These folks have been doing crap work that Americans don't want to do for many decades now. Not just recently. Why do you think they keep coming up? There is work to be had that pays better than back home. Not talking about good paying jobs Americans will do. When I was working in Stamford, CT in 1988 there were illegals cleaning the buildings where I picked up dropboxes. Talked to them on occasion. And yes our government has been very irresponsible about letting so many in. Could've organized a guest worker program long ago. Could've shut down the border long ago. Could've kept many people from being killed, robbed, or raped by the criminal element if they had chosen to clamp down. I understand the anger to a point. I also see a lot of very good people willing to break their backs to give their kids a better life. As for legal immigration, a million or so coming in annually means more housing, more goods sold. The government isn't doing it to be altruistic. It's seen as a plus to the economy. I've seen enough, read enough, to think we would've been better off if that immigration kept us a more homogenous society. But the powers that be, who hold all the cards, determined otherwise. But the single biggest threat to this country imploding doesn't seem to be immigration. It looks to me that it's white liberalism.
