Tough words, ALL very true, ALL very right.
I, with ALL due respects, will like to comment on this matter.
I agree that Illegally trespassing any property or Border should be punished.
I agree that allowing a foreigner to work CAN be done legally and can be positive.
Being a Puertorrican, ( U.S. citizen because of a Law ), I had to put up with insults, offences, and prejudice when I served in the Navy. I was a good guy, I served well, I was proud to be there, and the highest I got or achieved, the worst and hardest it got from some coworkers.
I was called from thieve, oportunist, prick, to even "taking from the eating table of an American Family because I was removing an American Parent from a job".
It hurted me REALLY BAD. It still hurts today.
Why did the NAVY hired me instead of an American ? Why ?
Why did the NAVY hired Filipinos ( some of the finest and most gentle coworkers I ever had ) to do the cooking and clerical jobs in the ship, many of them NOT U.S. citizens, instead of an American ? Why ?
Why do the U.S. ( and other Countries ) hire so many alliens to work their low paying jobs ? Its not because Lettuce will cost more if they don`t, it`s because in each business, the owner of that business needs to stay afloat, and if that is what works for him best, that is what he/she will do.
When a foreigner takes a bullet in his ***, while serving in the US Army or the Marines, or when a foreigner AirForce guy gets shut down and dies, it hurts the same, to that Serviceman and to his/her Families.
When a Dad, or a Mom, leaves home to work far away, it hurts the same, no matter where.
A Dad, or a Mother, who leaves his Country to work for another Country who treats him/her like inferior Human beings, and pays them less than fair compensation, and he/she does that with respect and dedication, shall be respected and at least be left alone to make a living for his Family.
I do know that nobody here has being racist or anything like that, it is just a Legal or Not matter, I don`t dissagree with any of you. But this "ilegal Allien thing" makes me sick, I know the feeling. I was there taking an American`s job, but also was there fixing Transponders so my Carrier Pilots could fly safely and comeback safely, while somebody else was back Home watching the news with a Coke on hand and his/her kids on their side.
This words are very tough words, even when they are all true.
Anybody who tries to go to work and make a living, shall be applaused and not critizised.
If anybody wants to talk truth, then what about those Americans who hire illegals, what about them , isn`t that illegal, isn`t that even worst. Perhaps they have already figured out that work and a job is for those who want and do work hard, thats why they are hired I believe.
VERY RESPECTFULLY,
JT
