Sounds about right. But, the most interesting aspect of it is that they can protest and demonstrate in the street and not get arrested and deported. That's gratitude for you.

If you are so smitten with these other countries that you would copy and paste an inflammatory, inaccurate trolling email, then I suggest you explore citizenship with whichever you like.

And those coming across the border laughing all the way would say that is a good start.
When we have the first illegal immigrant to become president then we will demand even more.

It would be even nicer to know who could be so incredibly politically ignorant and stupid as to vote for Trump, or Ruby, or Rafael, or Benny.

You know, Obamacre covers pre-existing mental conditions .....

You have a firm grip on Republican talking points, and thereby, their reality. Paint all illegals with the same brush. Freeloaders! North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, China, Venezuela, and Cuba! You are talking about all the garden spots of the world. People are rushing to go these freedom loving countries. What no Russia, or the Russian block countries? Putin is a fun loving dictator. Why is he being slighted?

You also missed Vietnam. Look how good they treated us, when we were there. Look at Vietnam's neighbor, Cambodia, They let people from the North stay there free of charge. The killing fields was just so much Western propaganda to keep their visitors from such a desirable place to vacation, or live.

Cross the US border, and get a well paying jobs in the fields, where Americans don't want to work, is a true blessing for Hispanics. They wouldn't want to deny American residents with drug habits the drugs they need to keep their habit alive. Drug lords are just fun loving American corporate bosses located in foreign countries. Making a buck any way possible that is the American corporate way.

Where is the Oriental button on my TV? I really can't find it. They should tell the people from the Orient, when they stay past the end date on the visa, just cross the border into Mexico. Then come back in large numbers. Then, we will treat your language as our own.

Now, we know why Trump is doings so well. All the illegal Hispanics are voting for him. They came out in record numbers in Nevada, NH, and South Carolina, and gave Trump what he needed victories so he wouldn't be called "a loser". In Iowa, they only speak English. So, they couldn't help him there. They know that Trump turns on a dime with all his stupid statements. So, they will never be deported. In fact, Trump will reward them by getting them out of the fields, and giving them well paying jobs in the kitchens of His hotels, and golf courses.

Did I miss anything? Republican reality is a must for all clear thinking Americans, and I don't want to be left out, now that I am a registered Republican.

Well, you are stupid!

The job will be paid low wages for a job Americans do not want, no Social Security ( but probably deducted), no subsidized rent, no home loan to illegals, and hiding in the shadows in fear from bigots like you.

This chain email has been around for a minimum of SIX YEARS. That is what it is...it is not a discussion of immigration but simply as Trump does....throw @#$% against the wall and see what might stick in someones mind. NOTE all the exit polls...he wins big and all areas and demoninations, EXCEPT FOR ONE....EDUCATED WITH COLLEGE DEGREES. The poll in Florida shows him winning everything but educated voters. That might tell you something

I do not need to correct anything. I think if this is a thinking post, they would make their case. I DO KNOW that the items listed as "gets" if you cross the US border are way out of line and just flat out not true.

Listen, I advocate stronger borders but this post and someone defending it is the EXACT reason that we have no immigration laws of any substance. NOBODY deals with facts. We need immigration reform, but voters need to get EDUCATED ON FACTS, not this kind of crap. That is what is screwing up any kind of realistic intelligent election. Keep in mind, whomever is elected President is there for 4 years, not somebody you can fire like on the tv show once you find you have been manipulated and conned.

I guess you forgot about the safe cities, were they do get all sorts of free stuff including driver license which in Cala you can vote democrat to keep your favorite caregivers in charge. And don't forget avout the SSI fraud in good old San Fran were the SS worker was getting kickback from the illegals he was getting SSI benifits. Hey maybe you are retiree from that system? You are stupid if you think they aren't getting assistance.

Guest 02-25-2016 07:35 PM

I for one don't have any ill feelings for any one wanting to work hard at any job they can get to get ahead. I do have feelings for illegal boarder jumpers that steal SS numbers or work under the table and pay no taxes, I do have feeling for employers who hire day workers under the table, pay low pay, don't pay taxes or benifits, and are able to get away with it and not be punished. This what I feel about this? The hole system is F€€€€€€ up and I end up paying 39% or more In taxes on income I worked for for 48 years and these slim balls (both illegal and employers) pay nothing.:BigApplause: the American way, full of slim ball politician's, criminal businesses, dirtbag lawyer's, career lying politicians. I sure I left some out?

Gee a word spelled wrong. Sorry but I was unable to get the education most Americans did because I lived in one of the 3 states that were not included in our nations 57 states, according to President Obama, thus we were never part of the Federal Government's Department of Education benefits. If I am "stupid" for one spelling error obviously I have some high ranking "stupid" compannnny (sorry I wasn't sure how to spell that last word).

All the more reason to put a stop to this exploitation. We should not allow these poor unfortunate peons to be treated as slaves in our great country. They should immediately be gathered up and shipped back to their own country with proper instructions on how to obtain a visa. After all, no good liberal would want these poor unfortunate people to be mistreated so ruthlessly.

Your response is just pure unadulterated b$! I have seen citizens denied job opportunities because illegals had them wrapped up!
And the illegals go to hospitals and are taken care of on the tax paying citizens dime! Teachers have to be bilingual to serve the illegals.
We in the US are really funding Mexicos welfare system.

What jobs were taken by illegals that the people you know did not get? Insurance agent? Stock broker? Worker in a slaughter house?

If an illegal has to go to a hospital and it is taken care of by taxpayers, what is terrible about that? Would you turn them away and let them die? Not a very Christian thing, is it?

The illegals know where to go to get medical help, and it is not for serious medical care. They know the rich Americans can't turn them away!
The jobs were in manufacturing, and a personally saw non Hispanic workers apply, but I new they would not be hired because they would not fit into an all Hispanic shop!
Mexico has many wealthy people, but because of corruption they refuse to take care of their own poor.
What problem could you have with knowing the background of an immigrant, if they want a better life because their country sucks, great, just immigrate legally, and show our citizens respect!

That's just BS! And you know it, too. That's the sad part of it. You actually believe the horse sh..t you spout. If these illegals weren't here in the first place, then they wouldn't have to be "turned away." What do you know of being Christian, other than attempting to use it as a weapon in an argument? Do you really think that you can win an argument by using religion for a weapon? Like I said, total BS! Guess what, we are not the Mexican refugee camp. This is America, where we have laws and supposedly order. Like you libtards like to say, freedom of religion, or in your case freedom FROM religion.

Unfortunately , you do not know much about being a Christian. Read Matthew 25. Maybe you will find compassion in it. I hope so. Talk to your minister or priest about compassion for illegal immigrants and listen to what she says.

Like I said before, you do not know the Bible. And remember (again) that you libtards do not believe in Christianity so don't try to use it as a weapon against us that do. Remember (again) that you libtards believe in Freedom FROM religion.

We have laws. Without laws you have anarchy. Are you an anarchist? Do you not believe in laws or law and order? Do you hate your fellow American? Are you against statutory law? Are you a criminal or just a sympathizer? Do you hate Christians? Did Christ violate any laws? Does the Bible suggest that anyone violate any laws?

The fact is that you don't have a clue. If you libtards believed in the Bible, and Christianity then you wouldn't be pro-abortion. So, do yourself a favor and do not attempt to use religion in a political fight. You will just end up having it taken away from you and used against you, like a home owner with a gun that has never used one before, attempting to accost a burglar.

Ministers are forbidden to endorse candidates or preach politics in the pulpit. If you knew anything of the religion you pitifully attempt to discuss, you would know that. But, I can see that religion is your last ditch effort to argue with the big boys about the elections. You figure that you can use the shunned issue of religion as a talisman to ward off difficult conversation. It's kind of disingenuous for a libtard to attempt to discuss anything related to religion, considering the atheistic nature of your ideology. But, if you still wish to misuse religion for your argument, why don't you explain where abortion is allowed in the Christian faith? Perhaps you consider it your right as GOD to kill babies? Because other than GOD, I have found no place in the Bible that indicates that discarding unborn babies is acceptable. Remember, you are the one that insisted several times to bring religion to the table, not me. Make up your mind, either talk politics or talk religion, but if you wish to divert from the subject, you should start another thread.

Ministers are forbidden to endorse candidates or preach politics in the pulpit. If you knew anything of the religion you pitifully attempt to discuss, you would know that. But, I can see that religion is your last ditch effort to argue with the big boys about the elections. You figure that you can use the shunned issue of religion as a talisman to ward off difficult conversation. It's kind of disingenuous for a libtard to attempt to discuss anything related to religion, considering the atheistic nature of your ideology. But, if you still wish to misuse religion for your argument, why don't you explain where abortion is allowed in the Christian faith? Perhaps you consider it your right as GOD to kill babies? Because other than GOD, I have found no place in the Bible that indicates that discarding unborn babies is acceptable. Remember, you are the one that insisted several times to bring religion to the table, not me. Make up your mind, either talk politics or talk religion, but if you wish to divert from the subject, you should start another thread.


So I guess your against capital punishment or war because the ten commandments say "Thou shalt not kill."
