Most people have been anti illegal immigration for a long time. The dems insist on it for political reasons, but some of them are learning first hand the consequences now

Yes everyone should he working together to solve illegal immigration. Glad you are finally on board

A few years ago if I tried to talk illegal immigration with a liberal, all they would do is cry "racist"

And you should ask yourself hard questions rather than impugn those who are more perceptive.

I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.

I’ll take you seriously when the number of employers punished is about 1% of the number of employees who are punished, related to unauthorized employment. Talk to me when the HR department of Tyson is perp walked.

The potato harvest just started this week in the Empire. Joaquin makes good money this time of year because he can speak Kʼicheʼ. If you can't speak a little Mayan, you can't communicate with the 2,000 workers from Guatemala it takes to get the potatoes out of the ground and into the barns. Joaquin has taught himself enough Kʼicheʼ to be an indispensable crew boss. He will restart his construction projects once the potatoes are done. Being a Contractor doesn't pay as well.

Real Americans love stoop labor!

Does it surprise anyone that Biden's open-border policy makes it almost impossible for any except elite liberals who comprenda Kʼicheʼ to get jobs harvesting potatoes?

There is $350M worth of fresh Yukon Gold to process in three weeks. Bring a sleeping bag and a change of clothes. The ranchers will find you a piece of cardboard to sleep on and a tent cover of some sort to sleep under. 10-12 hour days, 7 days a week, until the last potato is in the barn. They are making $2000/week. That's better than adjunct professor money! There will be about $10M wired from Martha's store to families in Guatemala in the next month. With the tariffs on fresh potatoes shipped into Mexico having been recently struck down by the Mexican Supreme Court, the valley ranchers may export $100M in potatoes across the border.

Globalism, it's what's for dinner.

And no Randall, I do not want to supersize my fries, but thanks for asking.

Surprise surprise! I'm actually going to give you a pat on the back for your comment - despite my feeling you are kind of an asshole if you are taking even an ounce of joy in it. Like others I know who are taking gallons of joy in it.
To me, it was not "the best controversial move" FOR ANYONE but it surely was a successful fuck you to the "Dem run" "sanctuary" cities.
How's this? Repubs, Dems, citizens, migrants, EVERYONE is suffering from this issue. Gee, let's continue to make it a political one so EVERYONE continues to suffer instead of ALL working together to try and figure out the best solutions. Pubs being assholes and Dems being ignorant isn't working.

P.S. I feel "the wall" is NOT "the solution" - but can and will admit it MAY be SOMEWHAT helpful. It might not be either.

P.S.S. Remind me again where you live. I'm thinking of hiring 10 busses and bussing them to your house.
Might be "the best controversial move" I have made in a while ;)
https://www.borderreport.com/immigratio ... port-says/

"Sections of former President Trump’s border wall between the U.S. and Mexico continue to cost the government millions in maintenance to fix sections breached by smugglers.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection records obtained by the Washington Post show that suspected smuggling gangs managed to hack through the heavy steel bollards making up the fence 3,272 times between 2019 and 2021.

The cost to repair the 30-foot-tall beams added up to $2.6 million over that period, the CBP records show."

So no, spending more on a big ugly wall that manages to only block the movement of wildlife does not seem to be the answer at all. They are cutting holes big enough to drive vehicles through.

Keep in mind, the border wall mostly exists only in areas that make good photo ops.

I think randy will change his tune when he pays $5 for a pound of potatoes or $8 for a head of lettuce, picked entirely by “legal” workers.

Hey randy: here’s a proposal. Why don’t you, as a self proclaimed libertarian, start a business producing goods and services that only use “legal” workers/immigrants? If there are enough people who put their money where their mouth is, you know the likes of psych, then you should have a competitive advantage. Otherwise you and your MAGA cult just prove that you’re just a bunch of malcontent hypocrites.

Take the challenge. Put up or shut up.

So why does the msm not cover the border crisis? It's not worth a story? That millions of illegals from countries all over the world are flooding into our country?

It's pretty straight forward I'm not sure what you are confused about. Also It's pretty simple to look things up if you are uninformed
