They work just fine - tell the immigrants that came here from Europe in the 1920s like my people did. The legal way. They did not come here with their hand out.

@MarmeeMarch Yes, of all the groups looking for a handout, illegals totally come to mind 🤔

@QuixoticSoul no but immigration is the subject and since illegal imm is a hot topic I would mention it.

@Harriet03 You mean like the so called Native Americans ? - the ones that migrated to America from the Asia during the last ice age across the bering strait ? - Stole it from the thieves ?
And the Redcoats tried to steal our land for KG3 - ? So who is doing the stealing

@MarmeeMarch Why mention handouts then? Illegals get the least of them of anyone.
Truth is, they’re here to work.
Also redcoats - lol. They were the legal authority 😂

Im not a fan of that particular argument because at this point every inch of this planet has been conquered from someone - but native Americans were not thieves because there was nobody here to steal it from.Also redcoats - lol. They were the legal authority 😂

@QuixoticSoul not all - when it comes time to criticize legal citizens then I will say the same thing. I was watching this youtube vid on how many pigs are scamming the disability trough.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch Yes, basically all.

@QuixoticSoul we have enough people already here that want to work - we also have more than enough that have their hand out. Having said that - we need to "meter" the amount or flow of people entering - what would happen if the entire pop of India wants in ? Extreme example of course but my point is we can only serve just so many.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch We obviously don’t, actually. There is a labor shortage on right now.
Nobody is saying illegal immigration is ok, but that doesn’t mean you should be making up nonsense out of thin air to support your position.

@QuixoticSoul I dont have the stats in front of me - but I have eyes. And - yes they work - so do many others. Wanting to work should not be your GOLDEN ticket in here. It should be one of many.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch Great. So why were you talking about the handouts?
Stats are, we are at full employment nationally. SF Bay Area is around 2.6% unemployment, that describes a critical shortage.

@QuixoticSoul Not currently - in general =- WE dont need anymore people we are at critical mass. As for employment goes put the bums to work and we dont need anyone that just wants to work.

@QuixoticSoul My people literally came here and pulled a plow on a ranch in SJ - they amassed quite a little fortune doing so.
MarmeeMarch · M
@QuixoticSoul Maybe I am not being clear - my point is that when my people came here through Ellis immigration laws were very strict - I had a relative that got deported 2x for having polio - they were afraid that the person would be a liability , a burden on the nation so to speak. And very few government gimmies were out there. So I wonder why we are offering so much - actually they dont have their hands out - maybe I misspoke - the government just gives.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MarmeeMarch Bums aren’t not working because they can’t find jobs. Anybody who wants a job can get one right now. You just have to be alive. It’s impossible to find people.
Lmao dude the illegals aren’t here for basically nonexistent handouts. They’re here to work.
Hell, they’re much better workers than the natives.

@QuixoticSoul BUMs dont want to work cause - why should they - they live on the streets - sure it aint a home but many have a tent over their heads - - AAAAAAAnnnnddddd they dont have to worry about paying rent - mortgage - tax - they come and go as they please - they get government assistance - $$$$$ and that's the way it is. First you say they cant find jobs then you say its hard to find people - They are just too lazy to pick or dig or do any type of manual labor - I am aware that if you are homeless finding a job is hard. So their are places that can help - I hope - thing is shelters impose regulations. They dont want the rules. So you deal with em. If you think I am being heartless - OK you have to start somewhere then scale it back to reality.

@MarmeeMarch When immigrants came as yours and mine did there were no benefits available. You relied on yourself and rarely on church or friends. Now too many freeloaders cross the border asking directions to the welfare and food stamp offices Disgraceful that some support this.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Strictgram You know that illegal immigrants aren't eligible for food stamps and welfare, right? 🤔

@QuixoticSoul Care to wager the point?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@Strictgram Not really. Nevertheless, it is the case.
