They're diminutive but it's rude to discuss size.

There's one good thing about Trump winning. The corruption is now so obvious no-one can avoid it.

You"re right. You didn't mention domestic jobs although the popular conception is that people hire a lot of illegals as housemaids, cooks etc.

Anyway define "white folks hiring illegals to do illegal jobs". What's an "illegal job" ?

Could I go to TJ and smuggle someone across the border in the trunk of my car and hire him to do the job of robbing the local branch of Wells Fargo?

Aw quit the pontificating. There would be nothing wrong in controlled immigration from Mexico if a system was set up to make sure they can pass a physical examination, carry no communicable diseases, pass a criminal background check. They could be given temporary green cards or required to serve a probationary period of five years in which time they would have to show other than a parking ticket or two that they had stayed clean within in the law and had been gainfully employed within that time
The immigration dept sucks. When borders cannot be controlled something is wrong, somewhere, laziness. apathy, indifference so what happens is that people come across who shouldn't be here. It was only recently that the border patrol unearthed a whole network of tunnels leading from Tijuana to well inside San Diego County and used by drug smugglers working for the cartels. Drug use will never be brought under anything near complete control but a start could be made by strangling off the supply from south of the border by land and sea.

I could never be accused of being a racist when I say that from living in these parts for over 40 years that some crimes are committed by illegals which only adds to the problem of dealing with the US born dirt bags we have already

Profiling anyone white who says anything negative about illegal immigrants from south of the border. You've got KKK on the brain love

You're being judged by what you're saying and how you're saying it.

You have a choice: You can either stop being a racist, or else you can do a better job of hiding it.

Meat processing plants. Large scale construction jobs. Chefs. Etc.

Sooooo .... you are defending jobs against being referred to in the pejorative? You should donate your brain to science. Immediately.

Leslie

I hate to say 'I told you so' but ... I told you so.

Gladly if you donate your endless gob to science also

You have a choice also. You can either stop sermonizing and jumping to conclusions or put me on your ignore list

There must be many European leaders looking across the Atlantic with a deep feeling of unease now that Tollerson has been nominated for Sec of State. Will there be a US-Russian axis of some sort established in the next few years? Where will Europe stand in all this?
