She is squawking a lot lately.

That tells you how much money Mexico is losing when illegals can no longer earn it here and send it back to Mexico.

Until you have to replace the roof on your house. There is a reason why insurance companies are changing their policies to not replace your roof... the costs are up 100%.

As a matter of fact, without the Scots, Irish, Germans, Scandinavian, Italians, English, Eastern and Southern Europeans, East Asians, South Asians, South Americans, Central Americans, West/East/Central/South Africans, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, etc, etc, etc, the US wouldn't be what it is today.

I had a Mexican outfit install gutters on my new house a few years ago. They were like 750% cheaper than any of the big outfits. I like Mexicans.

the ones I’ve known were good people, without exception. For me, the immigration issue has never been about making Mexicans “get out” or anything of the sort.

But we simply must have control of our borders. That is 100% non-negotiable.

Yep. (Legal) Immigration helps make this country great. Millions pouring uncontrolled willy nilly across our boarders does not.

And I’m not aware of much of anyone saying much different.

We have millions of LEGAL immigrants coming in here every year. Great. Welcome, come on over for a cold drink and a burger.

That’s not even close to the issue. It’s the uncontrolled, unvetted, unskilled, uneducated, unvaccinated *snicker, masses just strolling on in to suck off the teet of the hard work of ~most Americans.

All while we can’t provide for our own citizens.

Overwhelm the system, create chaos, bring down the capitalist pigs and all will be fixed. Utopia on earth.

Sad that it’s literally NEVER worked.

Anywhere.

Having folks vote like complete retards and destroy my country is not worth allowing any form of immigration.

I can trace my ancesters back to Scotland, Ireland, and Germany. Sure am glad you weren't in charge back then!

That's because the materials used to build roofs these days are ridiculously expensive to begin with. It has nothing to do with immigration whether legal or illegal.

Keep telling yourself that. The labor costs are through the roof (pun intended).

Just because the guys in construction LOOK like "Mexicans" doesn't mean they are. A large portion of the guys I see daily are Honduran. Mexicans do a lot of flooring. The framers, roofers etc. I find are Honduran.

You do know that illegal immigration drives wages down right?

(08-12-2025 09:14 AM)andybible1995 Wrote:  You do know that illegal immigration drives wages down right?

Of course it does. But it also lowers the prices of services such as roof replacement.

She's actually right about that. We'd be a lot better off.

But not 20M or so who came here illegally. Countries have the right to screen people before they allow them to reside here.

What we are griping about is the flood of illegals that Biden let in to kick up the numbers for Congressional seats, and also increase the rolls of eventual Dem voters. Total BS.

This country might’ve been built by immigrants, but it was by those that came from white Europe.

That is probably the most racist thing I've ever read on this board.

"White Europeans" came here and started the mafia. Were they civilized?

If someone comes here legally I'm all for it. It means they have a skillset that is needed in this country and they did it the right way. No reason to totally run down millions of people in that way.

Do they add more than they subtract?

If not, why do we allow this? If they can “add” more than lawn mowing and changing hotel beds, then fine.

But do it legally. That’s all. Are we a sovereign nation or not?

If Trump wants to send a message, tax remittances to Mexico and other SA countries at 90%. That will completely eliminate the incentive to come, stay, work and send money back home.

Claudia Sheinbaum is poking the bear. She’s FAing. She’s either hurting and looking for support from American Leftists or she’s just dumb. Either way this isn’t going to end well for her or her country.

My ancestors were French Huguenots by way of England and Scotland who arrived in Prince William, Virginia, British Colonial America in 1686.

I would like to see a 10 year freeze on all immigration. I personally don’t want to see another Muslim EVER allowed to enter the country. They refuse to assimilate and will proudly tell you their book of fables, written by a pedophile rapist, instructs to conquer Christian Nations of the West.
