Quote:It would go from, "They don't pay taxes," to one of the following almost immediately:

 

1. They're taking American jobs

2. They don't belong here/have no right to be here

3. They're all drug mules/terrorists

1.  They are taking jobs that able bodied Americans can do.  (the fact that liberals fail to acknowledge this is why we can't have a meaningful discussion) If we had workfare instead of welfare the need for illegals would diminish.  It would also provide valuable experience to those on government subsidies and in time they could move to a place of financial independence.  This would be a good thing for all parties concerned.

 

2.  What part of illegal do you not understand?  Here is a suggestion, why don't you go to Mexico as an illegal and tell us what you experience as such when you get caught.  How about this one, since we as a nation do not have the intestinal fortitude to set an actually a policy concerning illegal immigrants why don't we use the nation's policy that these illegals came from?

 

3.  Not all, but a sizable percentage are.  Again, the fact that liberals refuse to include this into the conversation or even acknowledge it is disingenuous.  

 

Until both sides of the political isle can acknowledge their own flaws and stop the snide comebacks, we are all lost.
