If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens...
YOU are part of the problem!

It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

BUT, IT'S NOT TOO LATE YET!

SO, PASS THIS ALONG.

[bk_cauley]

It is too late...

I know several USA born legal, productive citizens named Jose. I don't disagree with the point you are trying to make but I think if you had your name associated with being illegal you might find it offensive.

Just saying.

[slowLX]

How about John and Juan? Does that make you feel better?

[spadoc79]

:funny:

Oh boy....

[Tally TransAm]

but Shakira says Jose should be allowed all those things. . .

[Slush]

but Shakira says Jose should be allowed all those things. . .

She's only good for one thing, and it isn't immigration reform.

[Bryan02TA]

Nice, but we are all immigrants don't you see...? That's what dumbasses say, not me. I agree with this 110%. And if anybody named Jose gets offended by this then paddle your ass back to Cuba. Haha, just kiddding, but seriously get some thicker skin. I guess people named John should be pissed off because every crime suspect is named John Doe.

[Slush]

I guess people named John should be pissed off because every crime suspect is named John Doe.

Um, actually I think they won't be pissed...cause they are usually dead.

[Bryan02TA]

haha, I think you are right. Don't they call suspects for crimes John Doe too? I dunno, may have been a bad analogy. On a side note Andy, where in the hell are u livin these days?

[Sandy H.]

Okay try this. Replace Joe and Jose with "The"

Same story, same point. Except it is all based on a fictitious scenario that never happened.

Most illegals are being hired by American contractors for a much smaller percentage of what they would pay a so called skilled worker to perform labor that doesn't require a great deal of skill. American contractors hire them because the illegals will bust their asses for next to nothing and do a good job at it. American contractors hire them because most Americans are to lazy to show up and put the work in on the unskilled laborer type jobs. But the American contractors hire them mostly out of GREED!

[Bryan02TA]

Nah, I like the Jose story better. You are right though about the contractors hiring them. Make it harder for them to get over here and fine the shit out of the contractors. America is way too nice. We help everybody else out but don't give a shit about our own.

[Slush]

haha, I think you are right. Don't they call suspects for crimes John Doe too? I dunno, may have been a bad analogy. On a side note Andy, where in the hell are u livin these days?

I am still here in town, just busy as all hell. How yall been?

[madderhatter]

Nice, but we are all immigrants don't you see...?
I'm Native American.:secret::D

[Bryan02TA]

I am still here in town, just busy as all hell. How yall been?
All is good on this side. Same ole story I guess.

[dutinsss]

people talk about how "Jose's" can't speak english, but the OP misspelled an english word in the very first line of his post haha. just an observation.

[spadoc79]

i speak it better than i spell it

[dutinsss]

same here. not hatin, i agree.

[RBPOWER]

I had a new kid working for me last week and all he could do was brag about how as soon as his 3rd kid was born he was going to be maxed out on food stamps at 1200.00 a month...I told him to shut up becous I was the one who has to pay that for him.. he did not grasp where the money came from just that it was on his card every month. oh I think he was 20 years old..

[tedness]

so wait...they are illegal immigrants and the gov't pays for their shit, full well knowing they're illegal?

[Stark77]

Yep, they can get driver's licenses, cannot be refused care at any publicly funded hospital, can attend public school without question, can take advantage of the same local and federal services that we all pay for (defense, fire/rescue, police). We are all immigrants, when you look at the big pictures, but we all went through the proper channels to migrate here legally. There are people WAITING to get in who are trying to flee political persecution or extreme hardship in their countries. They wait years, and the folks from south of the border just pile into a truck and head for the border.
