If you were "invited" into a country, is it OK for them to change their mind?
Hello:
Fifty years ago, when my friend Tio came across the border, we LOVED having illegals here.. They picked our tomatoes, washed our dishes and blew our leaves.. Johnny Carson even JOKED about his illegal nanny on the Tonight Show.. They simply were NOT an issue.
Truly, when people like Tio got to the border, they didn't see a DO NOT CROSS sign.. They saw a HELP WANTED sign.. If that's NOT an invite, I dunno what one is.

In other words your people liked the slave laborers. Very just cause you have there Excon.
Johnny Carson isn't some hive mind voice for everyone else. He's one voice.
Johnny Carson even JOKED about his illegal nanny on the Tonight Show..
During that time period the U.S. population was half of what it is now. People were unemployed in Carson's time. That means she probably stole the job from an American, and without the illegal alien to hire, an American would have gotten the job and been paid better than the alien.
They simply were NOT an issue.
You had 20-30 times less illegal aliens in those days. A current flood is an issue even if you think a past trickle is not. To others, it was an issue. You are inserting that it wasn't an issue to you, even though you know it was to people who wanted wages to go up.
Your country just got a 3.1% wage increase. If it gets flooded with more and more slave labor, wages go down. You are choking your own people off to feed billionaires more slaves.

Hello Jack:
I met Tio at Paisans Pizzeria in Denver.. He washed dishes. I didn't speak Spanish, and he didn't speak English.. But, communication is MUCH more than just words.. He became a lifelong friend to me..
Anyway, he was making what dishwashers made.. I dunno where you get this slave crap.. In fact, what he made as a dishwasher was BIG BUCKS in Mexico, so Tio was able to send enough money home to support his family..
COULD an American have done that job?? Sure.. Did an American APPLY?? No. Tio applied..
You gave me a lot of reasons WHY Tio got in and why nobody cared., but you didn't answer my question.. Should Tio be deported??
Your link was dated 2016.. I'm talking about the 50 or so years BEFORE 2016.. Like I said, it was only a few years ago that people like Tio were called MS-13.
I don't disagree that some unethical employers EXPLOIT people TODAY... But SOME is not all.. I'm an employer.. I pay my people WELL.. I don't know if any of them are un-documented, and I personally DON'T GIVE A SHIT.. I don't work for the immigration cops..
You live in a place where you don't see what immigration cops & people living in the border South see every day, & they say we have a big, dangerous problem.
He's a border patrol agent being interviewed by liberal media. You definately did not watch the video. You lost another debate. That's a lot of losing.

You claim he's a border patrol agent being interviewed by liberal media. In actual fact, the concept of any part of the American mainstream media being "liberal" was comprehensively disproved in 1988 by Professors Noam Chomsky and Ed Herman with a fifty year academic study, and your source is YouTube.
Border patrol agents have opinions. That fact does not necessarily mean all of their opinions are homogeneous to one another.

Evolution and Media have no correlation that supports your position. Not a good argument on your part. 2+2 still equals 4 is not the same as a market changing over time.
Evolution and Media have no correlation that supports your position.
Lol! Time and its effect on the validity of academic theory have no correlation that supports YOUR position, dummy. My "position" was to point out that your "position" is fallacy.
Attacking an agency mostly composed of Nonwhites doesn't support your position.
Yes it does. My "position" has nothing to do with race. And your story is from 2008. And it admits that 46 percent of the border patrol agency is white. Did the possibility occur to you that they could be the ones acting unreasonably?
You're an idiot, Bronto. You lost this argument the moment you decided to tell me what my "position" is on issues you have not even asked me about.
Bronto is your main account, dummy. Your populist brown-nosing of Trump and the style it is written in are both absolutely unmistakable, however much you try to cover up your abuse of puppet accounts to build up your voting power.

Hello J:
If they could walk to the US from Honduras, seems like they could walk to Seattle..
Nah. You'll be too busy "inspecting zheir papers", like the Nazi we all know you are.
We are making sure they are not Nazis when we inspect their papers. What if some of them are Nazis? Are you against preventing Nazism? Oh my god you are...
We are making sure they are not Nazis when we inspect their papers
Oh, I see. So you behave exactly like Nazis because of illegal Mexicans who you think are Nazis? Gotcha buddy. That Kool-Aid is strong tonight, no? Lol.
I have friends who are immigrants, some from Mexico. They don't like what they call "line jumpers". Would you like someone cutting in front of you at the store?

Hello again, J
When Tio came across, visas cost a lot of money and took a long time - TWO things Tio was short of.
I'm sure your friends are telling you the truth as THEY see it. I don't doubt the MONEYD people who COULD afford a visa and could AFFORD to wait, don't like the "line jumpers"..
Tell me.. Are your friends moneyed or are they dishwashers??
There should be a statute of limitations on deportations, so no. We should build a wall & guard it or let ICE do its job. You would have gotten everything you wanted already, with no resistance if Democrats weren't bringing them in to vote in socialism. If they would support capitalism, we'd wave them in ourselves, but that's not what's happening. The Marxists are trying to overwhelm the country intentionally to make the West Communist. It's even how Lenin and Marx said you bring it in. Overwhelm Capitalism with those in poverty to create the welfare state controlled by a godlike government. You're issue with us is we are not suckers & we love our country enough to defend it.

STUPOR STUPID do you have a SHORT MEMORY ????????????
Obama brushed off the criticism today, saying that immigrants should learn English but that Americans should learn a foreign language as well. "You know, this is an example of some of the problems we get into when somebody attacks you for saying the truth," he said, "which is we should want children with more knowledge."
Know STUPOR STUPID there is some LEFTIST INSANITY for you !!!!!!!!
A hotel invites you, and you can come in when there are plenty or rooms, blankets, resources, etc. In this case, the hotel is packed, the resources are shrinking, and the hotel has a $21 trillion deficit heavily created by its former manager. Conservatives are the accountant and the fire marshal giving warning to hotel management.
You loved having them here. Your neighbors didn't. You ignored your neighbors' wishes.
Hello P:
Well, they COULD have said something, and we could have discussed it THEN.. But, they didn't.. In fact, it was only a few years ago when people who picked my lettuce were called MS-13.
