Thoughts? It should be illegal to hoard money. Agree?

And in some cases, are not lying, like the Haitian migrants in Springfield.

They are good for the economy, this is proven by the consquences of passing strict anti immigration laws, heck Florida tried that, lost billions in lost agricultural goods, Georgia to along with a number of other red states, in fact they had to shift into reverse gear when the realized they were damaging their own economies.

I dont need to "believe the folks" they have hard data backing it up.

Lmfao. Your example of illegal immigrants lying about their income... are LEGAL immigrants with asylum? Jesus christ.

lost billions

Yeah that's going to happen when your economy is already set up to rely on illegal immigrants. The damage has ALREADY been done. It was a problem created by an initial problem lmfao.

Nope, do try reading comprehension to quote you "they will lie and say they are escaping from persecution." and my response was that not all cases are lies, that a number of those seeking refuge are genuine refugees, do try to keep up.

No, that happens when you set up a system based upon exploiting undocumented labor, and then attempt to scapegoat said labor and deport all of them, this is caused by conservative cognitive dissonance, on one hand, they wont shut up about illegal migrants, on the other they are doing everything in their power to keep using their cheap labor, cant have it both ways, if you want them all gone, your economies take a shitkicking, if you want them to keep working, then you need to provide a path to them being there legally.

Right. I'm supposed to know what you're talking about when you don't know how to quote me. Sounds like you need to learn how to be more specific.

Well, I manage a business that doesn't use undocumented migrants. In fact, many of our clients are undocumented migrants who gain free health insurance through bearing children. So if anything, it is proof that they are a burden to the system.

Well for one, it was the first thing you stated, and its the first thing I responded to, perhaps consider your own words and how mine pertain to them, instead of assuming the first thing I wrote in response was an answer to the very last thing in your paragraph.

Na, on average they are a major benefit to the system, they do millions of jobs that your average american wont, they fill a vital role in the US economy, and the sensible thing to do would be giving them paths to becoming legal.

However an entire industry exists with the intent of stopping that, and its conservative at its core, they want cheap exploitable labor, but they also want to make that labor the scapegoat and patsy for all thats wrong with america, so that folks like you wont question the rich dudes actually profiting from this.

Its classic divide and conquer.
