Republicans can’t pass an immigration bill, and somehow that’s Obama’s fault

The American people disagree.

1. What poll do you base that on?

2. What difference does that make? Immigration control is, by its nature, not a national-defense problem because immigrants are not invaders. Settlers, like our paleface ancestors, are invaders to the extent they wish to displace the native population, but immigrants want only to join the native population, therefore they have a vested interest in not messing things up.

Pay 'em that, and there won't be a single one the coyotes can't bribe cheap.

If they go to jail they would not be as likely to take a bribe. Especially if there was a reward given to the people 6 foot away them. Not a lot can get through with people every 6 ft.

Yeah, but that's a joke number that would never happen. We already did the math, you want to start making an honest attempt to bankrupt the country, start with that.

you're a fucking genius
 
It's no job for $10/hour working-stiffs anyway. Border patrol is a form of law enforcement, we don't want just anybody doing it, we only want trained professionals doing it.

And we certainly don't want armed civilian volunteers doing it.
 
Let's reboot this thread: Why do we need more citizens if 1/3 of our current population is unemployed and 10 million are disabled?

FYP...you forgot to but quotes around disabled which has been a fine way of skewing the "unemployment" numbers. 10 million is what 3% of the population?

Exactly how much training do you have to hand a piece of paper to an illegal to show up at a hearing that you both know is never going to happen? The one good thing is a lot less wear and tear on boots. No chasing for la migre, no running for the illegals. They simply walk up ask to be processed in.

Enough that they don't act like cops in the US do. I can only imagine the shit they would do.

By what math is a third of our current population unemployed? The highest number I've heard recently is around fourteen or fifteen percent.

We do not "need" more citizens unless our argument is about trying to pay for some of our country without changing our tax scheme around.

Labor participation rate. only 2/3 have some sort of gainful employment which means that 1 out of every three people has to be supported somehow or another by two people that are working to support themselves and this third person. Whether that is a traditional Dependant or the person is supported by taxing those hypothetical two.

Some for example are retired. We are contractually obligated to support them, of course. Since there is no pension fund for that current workers must be taxed to pay for those past promises. Boomers are still retiring for the next 15 years. We are encouraging smaller families. This is a recipe for about a one to one ratio. One worker supporting himself and one other person.

I'm going to guess you don't have anything remotely credible saying 100 million are unemployed.

Again I really want to see these numbers. Your saying they include retirees. Does it also include children?

As for the final a one to one ratio is only a problem for our egos and an inability to figure out how to distribute wealth and goods. We could probably handle a one to two (or even more radical) ratio.

I would like to see this source. Sounds dubious.
 
It's a big forum. Guessing is stupid.


You're beyond fucking moronic....prob want child labor laws repealed and nursing homes across america working bell to bell sweatshop style. Prob don't want to pay any of them either.

Fucking Newt Gingrich dick sucking sack of shit.


Further more if CNS = a legit news source is Salon.

If you count those unable to work, due to disabilities, due to the fact they're not old enough to work, and are over 80, perhaps there are 100 million slackers in this country. His number of 100 million probably includes children of farmers who do work.

I believe Payday's like the candy: Full of nuts!

We do not need more citizens -- nor do we need fewer citizens. It's not about that, it's about people who've decided they want to live here. We don't need them*, but we have plenty of room for them. (The U.S., not counting Alaska, has roughly the same land area as Europe, not counting Russia -- but only 1/3 the population. By no means is this country overpopulated, nor will it be in your lifetime or mine.)

Now, I'll admit there is an ugly side to this: The establishment/bizcon wing of the GOP wants immigration reform mainly so their donors can hire cheap immigrant labor, which potentially depresses native-born Americans' wages by competition. So? We're only talking about the lowest-paid jobs anyway; the answer to that is to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, make sure it applies to all jobs including agricultural, and really enforce it.

* I'm talking about those who want in. Those already here illegally are already part of our economy to the extent that they can't all be deported without massive economic disruption; in that sense, we do need them

That's the BLS participation rate. Only the most intellectually dishonest chuckleheads use it.

The 100 million includes everyone over the age of 16 not in prison or a nursing home.

Your 80 year old parents, comfortably enjoying their retirement (not in a nursing home)? They count as unemployed.

Bill Gates? Unemployed.

Your 16 year old daughter? Unemployed.

Vetty's three retarded adult sons? Unemployed.

Michelle Obama? Unemployed.

Every SAHM mom in America? Unemployed.

Yea don't forget us dead beat veterans they don't want to deal with...and frequently target for benefit/pay cuts.

So much conservative patriotism...it moves my soul. LOL

What? Labels? Starting line is not the finish line?

Salon is good for the other side of an argument.

Instant dismissal shows what you know. I am not a conservative, nor a liberal, nor a democrat, nor a republican.


Partisan has warped your mind. I'm a registered Independent.

Those numbers can be verified all over the place.

Grow up.

No, partisan identity is one thing and ideological identity is another, and in the latter you're a flaming RWingnut, no matter what your voting card says.
