I will deny it. The evidence actually points to illegals offending at a lower rate than native born Americans, in fact it's a much lower rate. That to me makes it impossible for a huge number of them to be involved in criminal activities.Sibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 11:40 pmGood post. You wouldn't deny, though, that a huge number of illegal immigrants are not productive workers and are in fact contributing to the destruction of American society whether it be through gang activity, as spies for hostile foreign governments or entities, as operatives in terror cells, or simply by their violent nature (such as those fleeing the law in their country of origin or released from prison and sent here by their governments)? It shouldn't be hard to figure out which category they fall into and then deport the bad ones. That's where the money should be spent.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:40 pmYou think illegals just work at home Depot parking lots, seriously? I worked in construction all my life, Latinos dominate the rank and file, and I mean in legitimate construction businesses. I worked on Dan Wilson's house, Bill Gates, I'm just saying it wasn't fly by night. It was legitimate construction businesses that did things legally and there were plenty of Latinos I worked with. Not because they worked cheap but they were fucking good. How many were illegals, I don't know, but believe me, you can find a SS number to get a job, it really isn't that hard.
That's what kills me about guys complaining about Latinos taking their jobs. It wasn't about money it was about skills, and commitment. The guys complaining were the guys coming to work drunk, doing crank in the work shed. Believe me, I lived it. If you want to talk American values it was the Latinos that embodied them. Raising families, coming to work ready to work, taking their job seriously.
The issue to me isn't trying to run the illegals out, it's adjusting the laws so they can work legally, that's what would make America great again. That's what made America great again n in the first place, the effort and desire of immigrants. That's what is funny about Trump. He's built his message on racism and anti immigration when the real issue is Washington. I mean he attacks Washington but not correctly. He talks about changing Washington regulations then start with the antiquated immigration rules. Instead of kicking them out make them legal, America would be better off if he did
My phone is screwed up, can't copy and paste, so I added a screenshot of a study done in Texas. That once again is the Cato institute, libertarian
The criminal conviction rate for illegals was 45% lower than native born Americans. If you want to be safe, your best bet would be living among illegals rather than actual Americans
