There is too much permissive “cheap” talk regarding boundaries and limits - it has become an epidemic among people who are not held responsible for the result. The issue of an open border has been allowed to fester, unresolved, and become a danger to the American people.
Corrupt and self serving individuals have exploited people through all manner of evils and an undefended entrance to our country has been a “silent” partner.

Mr. Trump is not a clown or a buffoon and many people understood what he had to say. I sure did. He was speaking with plain talk, backed with sincere description, of a deliberate,
politically influenced, disaster for our country. He earned a big “thank you” for telling it like it is. The crybabies cry “you insulted all Mexicans”! They can sit down and be quiet for a change. The attention they feel “entitled” to has over taxed the solid American people. We need grown-up people in charge! (7 years ago!)
This is what you call White Privilege my good people. This is what White Privledge is. When you fail to see or understand what racism and predjudice really and truly is, that is White Privledge. I’m sorry. Just saying.
 
The crybabies you are talking about are largely Spanish people. I’m glad they have intelligent people like you to tell them what they should be insulted by. Yes the Mexican’s can sit down and be quiet while the white man is telling them what to feel. I’m sorry that you are overtaxed by people calling out racism.

Don’t kid yourself. We all understand perfectly well what Trump was talking about.
The crybabies are largely “Spanish people?!” Really? Where are your facts? People of all races and ethnicities are taking a stand against Donald Trump. The Mexicans should sit down and be quiet? Really? Oh look, you’re from Boston too! Nice!
 
Unless you’ve experienced and seen it yourself, immigrants take the jobs that Americans, Whites in particular wouldn’t take. Yes, that’s true.
In Indiana, kids go into the fields and earn money during harvest season after school. It teaches them discipline and how to work for a living.

“Illegal alien” is such an offensive and insulting term not to mention an archaic one at that. Such a term doesn’t belong in our modern vocabulary.
I’m sorry that it’s “offensive and insulting” to the people who choose to flout our immigration laws repeatedly by invading our country. :rolleyes:

They are not citizens, and they are in this country in defiance of our laws: Thus, illegal aliens is both appropriate and entirely accurate. I will not prevaricate to spare the feelings of criminals.
It is very very difficult to come to this country with the proper documentation. That’s why people come here illegally, because it’s very hard to come here legally.
It’s also very, very difficult to make $100,000 in a single day - does that justify me robbing a bank? After all, it’s much easier to do that than to work hard and earn that money.

Illegal immigration is a security risk our country can ill afford, a path for criminals of every stripe to escape prosecution, a danger to American citizens, and a danger to those otherwise innocent who try to take this “easy” road. It’s also a slap in the face to those who - facing even worse conditions than those who choose to sneak across the border - still work their way through our immigration system within the law and earn their citizenship.

The San Diego beach I once played on as a child is now unsafe because of how frequently boats from Mexico come ashore and disgorge dozens of illegal aliens. My sister is often a prisoner in her own house because of illegal aliens crossing the border near her home, occasionally stopping to look in her windows.

The only difference is that it’s not a career nor is it a full time job. I also assume they don’t have to support families or worrying about survival. There are very big differences between kids working part time in the fields and People of Color who do so for a living. Sorry. Major differences.

You do realize Europeans stole, exploited, and raped the Americas from indigenous peoples?! Before anyone talks about so called “illegal immigration,” one must address the horrible history of colonialism and imperialism by White Europeans. We are all illegal immigrants, aside from purely indigenous peoples. Sorry.

White privilege is an excuse for people who insist that everything is based on the color of one’s skin, and the crutch propping up real, modern racism by painting all those not of European descent as permanent victims incapable of bettering themselves.

The major difference is I dont care what color they are. I dont want uneducated people taking the American kids jobs. I also am not concerned about the charity factor involved in this anymore because I view it as radical. And destructive to America.

There are also organizations that represent small businesses and lobby for the government turning a blind eye. Restaurants, construction, real estate, farmers, janitorial services, meat packers, hotels, etc. many of these benefit from not using e-verify. Many benefit from having exemptions to minimum wage laws. While they may be small businesses, they belong to organizations that wield a lot of power.
With your definition, every business would be big business, making the term meaningless, and not what is understood by the term today. When you use it, it makes it sound like major corporations are the ones abusing illegal aliens, when it’s really small businesses.

That these independent small businesses associate and form lobbying groups that mutually benefit them at the expense of illegal aliens and American citizens trying to earn a living salary, is agreed. But the terms need to be exact, since the democrat propaganda makers overuse the term “big business” as the boogie man to generate hate towards their opponents.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_business
Big business involves large-scale corporate-controlled financial or business activities. As a term, it is typically used[by whom?] to describe activities that run from “huge transactions” to the more general “doing big things”. The concept first arose in a symbolic sense after 1880 in connection with the combination movement that began in American business at that time.[citation needed] United States corporations that fall into the category of “big business” as of 2015 include ExxonMobil, Wal-Mart, Google, Microsoft, Apple, General Electric, General Motors, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase…

If this isn’t White Privledge, then what is?!

Let me give you a great example of White Privledge.

A professor places a barrel in front of the classroom. He instructs everyone in the classroom to crumble up some paper and throw it into the barrel in the front of the class from their seats. The ones all the way up front managed to get it into the barrel pretty easily. The ones in the middle row almost got it in, some were able to get some in, but still most people were unable to get some in. The people in the very back were totally unable to reach the barrel in the front of the class. The people in the middle and the back were complaining to the professor about how how this whole game was unfair. The people up front didn’t quite understand the whole commotion by the middle and back students. The people upfront said that everyone got a fair shot and and if you didn’t get it in, well then, too bad,

White Privledge.

Indeed, we should be properly apologetic for ending such civilized practices as cannibalism and human sacrifice. :rolleyes: That aside, there is exactly zero parallel between the settling of the Americas and modern illegal immigration.

Enough with the La Raza party line. Aztlan is a myth.
 
I think the political atmosphere of the thread inflamed by rebellious side a little. Other personal things may have contributed to the tone of the post, that I don’t feel like discussing.

…But still, I dont want 35 or 45 year old men and women working at el pollo loco. I want teenagers to have those jobs. I dont want laborers or people on the run flooding our southern border. I want educated people with degrees who have something to offer coming over here. That goes for all immigrants.

Honestly, I dont care if the economy cant find cheap labor. 🤷

…Charity is not my number one. Discipline now is. Because this country is in despair and decisive action is the remedy for that, even if people hate me for it. We need to be disciplined in not backing down from our convivtions out of fear but rather acting on them fully.
What you basically said is sickening. Your post makes me sick to my stomach. Jobs should be for everyone. Opportunities should be for everyone. These 35 or 45 make the best customer service people than some teenager, and I’m in my 20s just to let you know. These 35 or 45 year olds who work in Starbucks or Any retail or fast food restaurant make the best employees. For them, it’s a career, for teenagers, it’s just a way for them to make money. Education is also expensive. Not everyone is a wealthy privledged White person. Sorry.

This is such an unChristian and unCatholic post. Seriously. Peace be with you.

Mexico has Mexican privilege. How are El Salvadorians treated, particularly the women?
 
The fact of the matter is that immigrants take the jobs that most Americans, particularly White Americans would not take. That’s just a fact. If you go within the agriculture industry, who’s picking all those veggies you put on your dinner table? Certainly, not too many Whites are doing the jobs that immigrants are taking part in. It’s not because they’re unavlaliable or being taking, it’s because Americans, Whites are not taking those jobs. It’s the truth.
This is non sense. Americans want these jobs, they just want to be paid a fair wage for these jobs. The rich and wealthy would rather hire a said illegal immigrant, who won’t ***** about his slave labor pay.

Trump said the right thing the wrong way. It’s not bottom of the barrel It’s everything. The good, the bad, everything.

America destabilizes Mexico to send their immigrants over here. Operation Fast and Furious. Go look it up, its all out in the open. They’re trying to pass the T.P.P. so they can probably rewrite the constitution. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Wow, such a racist thing for you to say. Like, so racist, it’s shocking. Wow. I’m in totally awe at all the racism in this forum.

I’m sure White Europeans exploiting, murdering, raping, and abusing Africans and Indigenous Peoples are any different?! I mean, they did do a lot of horrible stuff you know?

Such unChristian and unCatholic posts! My goodness! Yikes!

Its not Americas fault Mexico is not a good place to live. What would it take to make it better?

Does the Catholic Church teach that we must take criminals into our homes when we know they will hurt our children? No!
Does the Catholic Church teach that we must give our children’s’ jobs to strangers, and our children do without? No!

The Holy family was persecuted and fled, as aliens, to Egypt for safety. The US allows persecuted aliens entry into the states. It sets limits on people who are only trying to improve their living standards. Do I blame people for trying to better themselves? No. Do I blame Americans who neglect their own children, their own responsibilities, and give them to someone else. Yes.

As a person, I will help the person next to me. Americans are very generous to those in need. As a government, we need to protect our country and follow our laws. Otherwise, why should anyone follow a law that is inconvenient or mean-spirited to them?
