You do not know what you are talking about when you say the "vast majority" of these criminals are not criminals, diseased, drug addicts or sex fiends. If this was so, why is our medical system so overwhelmed by these illegals? And why are so many of these illegals always involved in illicit drug trafficking if they are not addicts or involved with addicts? And why are there so many of these dregs in prison for sex crimes on both adults and children? They have cost American taxpayers to the tune of over ONE BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. And they flouted at our immigration laws, both federal and constitutional, which automatically makes them criminals.

So if you want to completely sponsor any of these outlaws, then do so. But I don't think anyone, not even our government, should be making decisions about allowing these dregs into our country to take advantage of what we have worked so hard to achieve. All this accomplishes is to make jobs harder for Americans to find because so many of these wetbacks are drawing welfare while working under the table for far less that an American can afford to work at and keep a household intact.

These are facts that very few of you lefties ever consider. But it is true. I have another thread coming up that tells the story about how the American household is making less now during the so-called post-recession "recovery" than they did during the recession itself. And I know you wont accept the fact that your darling wetback criminals are partly to blame.

The vast majority of people in this country illegally are NOT criminals, diseased, drug addicts, or sex offenders. Where you get your information is unknown, probably generated in your head. Illegals, like everyone else, get sick or injured; maybe that's why they go to the ER. They go to the ER because they have no health insurance.

What is your definition of "so many" being involved one way or the other with drugs? 1%? 35?

"And why are SO MANY of these dregs in prison for sex crimes"? How many are "so many" 1%, 3%?

Drugs are smuggled into the U.S. because there is a large market for them. Americans want drugs, someone supplies them. If we didn't buy and use them, there would be no drug smuggling.

Welfare, whether food stamps, or or any other form, is not available to non legal residents. You must be a citizen, or a legal resident, to draw on these funds. Once again, look it up. It's always wise to know what you are talkng about before shooting your mouth off.

As to the Bush recession, it was the most severe downturn since the Great Depression in the 30's. When Bush left office, we were losing 750k jobs a month. We are now adding 200k a month. Not enough, but better than losing jobs.

And , yes, Americans are just dying to pick grapes in 105 degree weather and they can't wait to make completely make 25 beds from "scratch" in some hotel. Try it some time; strip your bed, and then re make it. Do that 25 or 30 times, and imagine making $7.25/ hour to do so.

I was working in a grocery store, a major chain, as a teen in the early 60's for $1.00 p.h. The $1.50 you made doing odd jobs is worth what today? It's purchasing power is $10.50-$11.00 p.h., maybe more.

In 1966 bacon was .79/lb;Campbell's Soup,6 cans/.89;Swanson frozen chicken pies were .29; margarine was.31/lb. Your $1.50 an hour was worth a great deal more than $7.25/hr is today. And doing odd jobs doesn't compare to making 25+ beds in a hotel. I thought you were going to say you cleaned outhouses from top to bottom with your bare hands.
