But Billy, they have human rights. I agree. Who gives a shit. Send them all to New Orleans and make them repair that shithole for free, and when they're finished, deport their ass.

Eff em, I love the last line in the story.

"If they knew eventually that they were going to have to do that, they should have never let them come over here," she said.

We never let anyone just come in, the came illegally. What part of that is so damn hard for these people to understand. Hell that poultry plant should get fined for hiring illegal workers too.

When are they gonna hit up Buford Hwy? They would need a convoy of greyhound buses.

Amen to that....all they have to do is hang out near the Home Depot on Sidney Marcus, too.

They are helpful when moving 135g, 75g, and 44g aquariums up 4 flights of stairs.

You know, when you think about it, the town is called Stillmore.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Just underscores how bad the problem is. The US economy relying upon illegal activity to run properly. How sickening is that...

:lol:

That's funny as hell... There would be a lot of apartments for rent and homes for sale, lol.

I say the hell with them to. If you can't go thru the legal way of getting a green card then get the hell out. I have several friends from other countries that went thru hell for thier green card. The people that they are raiding are just lazy when it comes to that. I understand that they come here for a better life but they do not realize that freedom is not free and everyone has to play by the same rules.

Yes it's bad that they came illegally, but how many legal greencards do we issue a year? not enough (it's 140,000 i think).


plus we have a program that allows higher educated/skilled workers to come work for 3 years and then a possible extension of 1 year that we are downsizing. From something like 200,000 to 65,000. What the hell, that's a dumb policy. So we train and make these higher skilled workers even better and then we send them back their country so they can compete against our economy rather than make ours better.



eh, whatever.
