Third, Mexico is a hell of a problem we've got. Drugs, especially heroine is killing our inner city and some suburbs youth and adults. Illegals working everywhere and sending the cash back home and not paying taxes on it here. I just read that in Denver alone 20% of restaurant workers are illegal. How does that happen? There are many other problems and they need cleaned up. Trump will do his best.
Germany is now a hot mess and Angela will be lucky if she only loses an election. Plus France may elect Le-Pen and then we will really see shit broken and burnt cars and Starbucks.
You guys seem afraid that someone is actually trying to fix these messes, why is that? I really want to know.
Tell you what. You trust "Twitchy.com." I'll trust Reuters. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-russia-idUSKBN15H244
How much have we wasted on the drug war and what effect has it had? It's been proven time and again, the only way to reduce the drug problem is to reduce DEMAND. Nothing that we're doing with Mexico affects that part of the issue in any way.
Seems to me the problem with illegal workers is with those hiring them, aka all of our neighbors who own restaurants, lawn care services, construction companies, etc. Getting rid of the illegals means those jobs can go to Americans, but that begs the question, are Americans willing to work for the same pay an illegal gets? If not, the cost of doing business increases, which means your costs to purchase increase. So, you can argue you save by not paying for the social services illegals consume, but how much will it cost us on the other end?
Consider the points presented here as to what removing illegals from America could do to the economy and wages. I'm all for getting illegals off the public teet, because they do consume billions every year in social services, but we need to be very clear there could well be a number of negative side effects that might just outweigh the good.
