 Is all they have to do is come in the legal way then there wouldn't be a problem.
I'm tiried of all these people saying that the crops are rotting and such because the illegals have been arrested and no one else will work the hours that they do.  Sounds to me like they were treated more like slaves then employee's.  Maybe the unions need to get ahold of these type of employee's and set them straight.  Pay decent wages and take care of their employee's then they will have americans working for them.  Yes I know the prices would have to raise but that would be of set by Americans having more money from more jobs.
But what the heck do I know, I'm just some dumb deplorable hick from the sticks.

 

casualdust07 - 2017-02-12 1:57 PM But guys, be careful, your white privilege is showing. *TOTALLY SARCASTIC*. if I get that told to me one more time, I'm really not sure what I'm going to be able to hold back. Just a side story on the ridiculous ideology behind the people who support all this... I was eating lunch with a bunch of other 4th year vet students. One of them is a friend of mine, he's from west TX, and married an Asian lady who is super sweet. They have 3 kids with a fourth on the way. He is really good at impersonations of lots of things, but hes especially good at impersonating an Asian accent. So he was telling a story about one of his trips going to visit another university and how he stopped in for lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The girl answering the phones and taking orders had a strong Asian accent (which he impersonated really well for the story) then said as soon as she was off the phone she spoke in completely normal English without any accent at all. Two of the girls in the room told him to stop speaking in an Asian accent as it was offensive to Asian people. I looked at them and I said, he's married to one and has three children that are half Asian! I think he's pretty involved in Asian culture. They said no, he's just a white dude. He then said the same thing- half of my family's Asian... no, they still said he was offensive. So I said, wait, if I speak in a British accent is that also offensive? And they said YES! Because speaking in accents is making fun of people. I was totally bewildered.

I've said it before, and will say it again. About time these illegals are being dealt with!!!

Yes, I am an immigrant, I came to this country 12 years ago for work, I was supposed to go back after 5 years, but love it here so much I wanted to stay. Oh and found the man that is now my husband. 
And we did it the correct way! So 10 years after I came here, and 5 years after we got married I finally became a citizen!
Does it take a long time? YES!
Does it take a lot of effort? YES!
Is it cheap? NO! 
Am I glad I did it? HECK YES!!

And does it chafe my butt to see the entitled whiney illegals, which are breaking the law, protest about being deported? OMG YES!! 

One other thing, I came here and adjusted to the American way of life. Now grant it, coming from a western European country it wasn't that different then it would be from somewhere out of the Middle East, but still... you want to come live here, because you are trying to escape the dangerous and volatile world you came frome, yet you want to change this country to that same standard???? Nope nope nope.... then you best stay put and deal with it, because your life would not change one bit!!!! Just the landscape.....

Anyway, getting of my soapbox now, but I for one am glad Trump won, and I am pround to say this was the first election I got to vote in, and yes, I did vote for him and am not afraid to say it!!! 

FinneyQuarterHorses - 2017-02-13 9:03 AM I realize this is an alt-right love fest, but I do have to object to your characterization of "all Hispanic illegals", because to be clear that is who you are talking about, just wanting to mooch off the American taxpayers. You have obviously never actually looked at who is doing the work at horse farms, roofing and construction companies in the south, and picking the fruits and vegetables you eat and pay a fair price in the grocery store for. If you want to work in the US, it is a stringent, very limited expensive process aggravated by a disfunctional process based more on appeasing the people like you rather than meeting the needs of, for example agricultural producers and construction companies. There is no legal "line" for most people from that area of the world and a simple google search for immigration rules would explain that. Hard! The Eastern European immigrant had a totally different set of rules. So rather than spread "fake news" that you support lazy Mexicans, remember that red states and Corporations are the biggest drag on the American taxpayers' teat there is and the guys on that roof in the 110 degree Oklahoma and Texas heat look nothing like you. So unless white people want to pick up the slack and actually work at jobs they think are beneath them, they better figure out the immigration system and quit playing the victim.

HarlanLivesOn - 2017-02-13 10:08 AM I wasn't aware that you're from another country... Cool! Where from?

janjan1 - 2017-02-13 8:39 AM I will go abit further than my OP....as much as we as Americans want the illegal folks to get off our financial overload, and go back to their original homes to apply the RIGHT way to come back into america, we need to think about the number of legal americans who are freeloading the system. I am sure everyone knows someone or whole families who have generations upon generations milking the system. I know I do. When everyone is saying oh the illegals take jobs away from tax paying americans. Well, they actually take the jobs that Americans wont work. I hear it all the time, I cant find a job...well the jobs are out there, but they just would rather collect a check rather than break a sweat. I have had people work part of a shift and leave because they can make more $$$ sitting on their butts. We have a whole country of lazy ass people that WE support. If you are truly disabled, fine. But something has to give folks. We must get these people back actually working. If YOU want my assistance, you can and WILL do something to earn it, AND there will be a time limit. Dont ever say you wont do something, because you can & will under the right circumstance. TO earn money to eat, yes you will. LEarn from the illegals who do work any job, several jobs in fact, to earn $$$. BUT I also know there are just as many who freeload too. BUT the point is, we have a work force here in the USA, we just have to get them motivated to get off their duff. If not, then they too can get out.

Vickie - 2017-02-13 11:48 AM I have never figured out what part of illegal is so hard to understand.  No, they are not "undocumented workers", they are breaking the law by being here, therefore eligible to be deported as a criminal.  We will never get wages up as long as bosses can hire illegals for nothing because they have no rights.

NJJ - 2017-02-13 12:30 PM That is the bigger problem.....start levying BIG fines against the "employers" who knowingly employ illegals and they will stop hiring them!

euchee - 2017-02-13 6:28 PM  Exactly!  For every illegal picked up at the jobs slap a big ass fine on the employers.  Once they have to pay so much they might think twice.  Tysons will be out of workers until they decide to pay good wages to citizens
