Why is being against illegal immigrantion considered racism

@PlumBerries the old “racism indoctrination” 🤨

@PlumBerries If I could I'd give you best answer

@QuixoticSoul there's a shortage of teachers in the US

@Mountainlady16 Pay more, and there won’t be.

@QuixoticSoul teachers are practically glorified babysitters in public school cramming what kids need to pass the next test down their throats reason why my kids will never attend public school

@Mountainlady16 Gangs are a tiny part of the immigrant population, legal and illegal.

@QuixoticSoul Yet it only takes one gang member with a knife.... To Circumscribe your hotdog...

@MarmeeMarch Rabbis are the most fearsome gang.

@Mountainlady16 No, I don't think it's immigrants who are keeping you from a good job.

@Graylight I have a job and so does my husband at places where they don't hire immigrants legal or illegal. Especially ones who can't speak English

@Mountainlady16 Well, how very jingistic and white of you.

@Mountainlady16 You are simply wrong.

@Graylight DACA doesn't require citizenship it protect the illegals who came here as children. Where these illegals need to be rounded up along with any kids they had and their parents and shipped back to their own country.

@Mountainlady16 Jesus was an itinerant preacher. They treated him baldy and you guys have been complaining about it for years.

@Graylight circumstances doesn't matter squat they still broke the law. Maybe we need to make illegal immigrantion a felony. Which btw is only on first offense many these criminals have been deported multiple times and after 1st it become a felony

@Graylight and btw it's often found these children are not the biological child of the adult they are with

@JT123 Actually, many immigrant rights groups did complain about Obama’s policies.

@LeopoldBloom How am I supposed to know if that is good or bad - fuckface ? Learn how to ask a question that has substance and not try to race bait me, dumb bunny.

@MarmeeMarch Then your answer is "it doesn't matter."

@LeopoldBloom 💆‍♂️yes - it doesn't matter

@Wol62 Most of them did but these laws didn't exist/apply back then so your argument/statement is irrelevant.

@xRedx So how did they manage to get the land from them in the first place then? Did they win it in a card game?

Didn't they have laws against people killing them for their land? If not, that seems very short-sighted of them. Oh well, they deserved it then.

@Wol62 Doesn't matter how you wanna see it, that's in the past and nothing can be done about it. Your statement is irrelevant at its core and incorrect. I'm sure there are still some native Americans descendants.

@MarmeeMarch Slapping a label on it is part of the freedom.

But it doesn’t have to be national policy.@QuixoticSoul

@Texasgurl illegally crossing the border is a federal crime

@Mountainlady16 Even if they’re working and paying taxes?

@LeopoldBloom yes cause they broke the immigration laws by coming here. Plus most work under the table

@Mountainlady16 How do you propose we get rid of them? Deport anyone who is brown and speaks Spanish with no trial?

My solution is upward accountability. If illegal workers are found on a construction site, lock up the prime contractor and the developer. If the CEO of Halliburton or the Trump Organization goes to prison because a fourth-tier subcontractor on one of their projects hired illegal workers, I can guarantee that the problem will end.

Another solution would be a national ID card, but I can just imagine the screaming from the fundamentalists who would interpret that as the coming of the Antichrist.

The reason nothing has been done is because these people provide a net gain to the country. So it doesn't matter if they're here illegally. Conservatives love to complain about this, but other than harassment and intimidation, they either don't have any solutions or don't want to implement the solutions that would actually work.
