I am appalled at the ignorance of society.
Why are people complaining about illegals when we have so many other issues in the U.S.?
The ones complaining are the first to sit back and complain of being disabled, to mooch off the government. The “illegals” are out working with aching backs and blistered feet in 106 degree weather to build your houses and pave your driveways.
Besides, we have many citizens breaking into our houses and robbing us blind.
Leave hard-working human beings alone. Besides, the country once belonged to and was stolen from native Americans.
So in all fairness, most of you are illegal.

Your so confused, your letter makes no sense nor can it be supported by any actual fact.
O and news flash since you are one of the millions of americans who has no idea about american history. "Native Americans" came from mongolia. Do you even no where that is?
Pathetic.
DoubleHeroides 10 months, 1 week ago
Come off it The_AnonymusProfit, that doesn’t make any sense. The Native Americans were here first. If they came from Mongolia that still means they were here first and lived for a long time before being colonized. I fail to the sense in your comment.
The_AnonymusProfit 10 months, 1 week ago
The comment means DH, that there are no such things as native americans in the sense that there have always been people on the north american continent. Yes they may have been here first, and I dont condone the way that they were treated, but this is the way of the world.

Trina...do a small amount of research...illegal immigration is a BIG F. DEAL as our illustrious V.P. would say. Terrorists enter our country across our un-guarded borders. And if you wish to give your land back to the indians then I'm all for it...but don't try to speak for me. I'll keep mine, thank you, and defy you or young Mr. Andrew to say otherwise.

Well, think I got it figured out Trina, and will saves millions if not billions. First we do away with Homeland Security, border patrols, drones, TSA and all their agents and Janet (not a bad Idea on that last one). Then lose the Immigration office and all their staff in Washington and major cities. What's the point in keeping all those meaningless jobs, right Trina? Diane

Then, at night a great many get schnockered and go driving around. Some work nights in their illegal ID making business. Others try to eak out a living transporting various quantities of marijuana and other agricultural products. Yes, a hard working bunch they are. A real credit to the community.

I've got to say "I am appalled at the ignorance of " Trina Jackson
And as a contractor, I guarantee you won't find an Illegal on one of my jobsites and as a FYI, if you have a contractor cutting costs on labor by using "Illegals", I would worry where else he/she is cutting costs and corners.

A "great many" "legals" do these things as well.

Trinia, how many illegals do you have living in your house?
pinewoodnc 10 months, 1 week ago
Trina, let me tell you a bit about illegals. Move to Texas and spend some time there and you'll learn about illegals. They come illegally into the country, absolutely refuse to learn English, take jobs away from Americans because they will work basically "under the table" for less than minimum wage, and after they finish doing whatever work for the day, they go to the convenience stores and load up on beer and junk food. I know as I lived in Texas for over eight years and saw it on a daily basis. I have seen big companies there fined millions of dollars for employing and hiding illegals. One large seafood restaurant chain moved the illegals from one site to the other hiding them. They were investigated and caught and had to pay millions in fines. If they want to be here, then they need to do what other immigrants have over the last century and follow the rules to become citizens. Anything other is unacceptable.

Sounds good but it'll have to wait unless you can give me some idea how to get a 57 yo motor, a 40+-yo Skinners Union carburator and a modern electronic ignition to quit irritating me and start working together, Kick only, high compression, tempermental starting and a fifty something leg are working against me.

"Besides, the country once belonged to and was stolen from native Americans." The writer would be well-served to do some research and help us out with answers to the following questions: (1) which parcel of this country "belonged" to which native American tribe? (2) did these tribes ever fight each other over who actually owned the "parcel" in dispute? (3) as part of the fighting, did these tribes ever enslave those members of other tribes whom they captured? (4) to whom did Mexico once belong? (5) what about Canada? (6) Egypt, too? and, (7) how long ago did these things occur? After you answer these questions, please let us know how you feel about open borders. Thanks!

Jeez bent sounds like you just need to be a cruiser and be done with it. The rebel is small its only a 250 but it gets 74 miles to the gallon and will not shake at 70 mph.
cantstandya 10 months, 1 week ago
Bentpan,You are to be commended for your refusing to use illegals,but many others do,several local outfits,from roofers,masons,concrete finishers and painters,how I know is I also was in the building business for many years,we have had iron workers in this area also that I have worked with,many do have legit documents,many do not,with the slow down in this area many have moved on but when it picks up again as many are in hopes it will they may return or not,it is getting harder to secure employment with the verify laws but for the last several years we have had our share in this area,many are very hard workers and if that were all it took to be here legally then we would probably see many more,but thats not the case,they need to take the way to legal entry or they are just illegals,those are the ones that have caused the controversy.

It is estimated that the American indian population that ventured onto the North American continent numbered about 200 individuals and only numbered 800,000 when the first Europeans arrived. so those 800,000 individuals owned all of North and South America cause they were the first here? Absurd. How many Indian tribes were exterminated and/or absorbed by other Indian tribes? We will never know. Do you really want to go back in History and figure out who was where first to settle land claims? Absurd. The westward expansion of Europeans was a natural human event that has been played out throughout Human history. This BS about Indian land being stolen is Embecilic and yes....Absurd!

Ditto to Thatcher.....Again! The American Indians had some of the most violent societies that the world has ever known.slavery? Read about how Indians treated their captives and Slaves......they were'nt all sitting around writing poetry and chasing Butterflys.

I am a moderate in my politics, but I do feel strongly about illegals being here, because they are just that--illegal. I teach school and in my classroom I have students whose parents crossed the border illegally and ended up in NC. Trina, that means their children, however, get free education, free meals in school including a healthy snack,free medical, free dentist, etc. The parents get paid under the table so there's no tax to to our government. They may work hard but there's no benefit to us. My work as a teacher is almost doubled because I have so much more to do for Spanish translations, yet I get no other pay. I have students of Hispanic heritage born in the US say, "I am Mexican, not American." Where's the justice in that? I wish no one harm, especially children, but there has to be more balance and equity for US citizens.
Bentpan 10 months, 1 week ago
GoldenDreams Excellent post that covers many of the aspects of the problems inherent to our uninvited trespassers, if you enter my home or my country by invitation, you're an honored guest, perhaps even to become a member of our familly, a citizen, but when you sneak in, you're a thief. taking resources, goods and services you are not entitled to. Placing an unfair burden on those who provide those services, not to mention the American who now receives less because it has to be spread further and the taxpayers who foot the bill.

TAP bite your tongue, I've been riding customs, as in Cafe's, streettrackers, streetfighters, bobbers and choppers for over 40 years, there nothing wrong with cruisers or baggers but they're not for me, not yet anyway ;-)
bufordsplay 10 months, 1 week ago
Right on Bentpan! I lived in South America and went to High School there. You can go to any U.S. Embassy on any given day and see the lines around the Block of those who want to come here and the thing is we can't let them all in.By the way if you go to the Cuban or any that reflect the society that this Administration advocates.....Lines are pretty short. People vote with their feet!

Let's hope, bufordsplay, that when the folks from China show up to take over their new "colonies" that they don't decide that you and your buddies need to be relocated to Alaska. Hey, it's just a natural occuring human event that's been going on for centuries, right?
skylinefirepest 10 months, 1 week ago
When the folks come here from China they'll find that our liberal government has already given them the economy so the land isn't far behind, Russell44. Incidentally, Trina, the local governments spend a fortune on training emergency workers to get some basic language training. And while I haven't kept records I'll bet you that if you ask any fireman or policeman you'll find that once the Latinos wreck their car and or someone else's, they only bother to stick around about five to ten percent of the time. AND why can't our government work on the alien problem while trying to solve some of our other problems at the same time? Could it be that our politicians are so busy trying to spin Obama's lies that they don't have time to attend to the duties of the country??

TNatural 10 months, 1 week ago
Trina, Take a hard look at some of the illegals riding the parking lot of the Aberdeen Walmart after dark. They are definitely not the best contributors to our economic system. Please do go into the local McDonald's and find an English application so one of my kids can apply for a job. They have none available. Like every society there are good and bad people. I don't appreciate their free use of our money for healthcare. Go to UNC Chapel Hill or Duke and you will notice that most of the people in the waiting areas are Mexican-Latinos who require an interpreter because they cannot speak the English language. If you speak to one they will whip out the Medicaid card. Then there's National security (terrorism was mentioned before). The education system gets overloaded with kids who require assistance with supplies, fees waived, meals... So that the boys can disrespect and treat the women teachers like garbage and ignore the male teachers because they know that the teachers are not allowed to administer corporal punishment (spanking/paddling). They destroy equipment because its fun, are a few examples. Once an anchor baby is born here, how do you deport them back home? By splitting families? We all understand that America is a land of immigrants. But as President Roosevelt said - If the immigrant does not become one with his new nation it is doomed to fail. That means language, society, laws, work, taxes, ect. There are those here illegally who do not cause harm and contribute like they are supposed to. If they can prove it , I say let those few become citizens. We have a system thats in place for a reason. Over 3 million a year is to much for any economy to handle. The system is not perfect. But it has a purpose.
pgericson 10 months, 1 week ago
TNatural What system do we have, exactly, that provides a path to citizenship for hard working illegals? We can't even find a non-controversial way to provide green cards to illegals who come here as children, have a clean record, graduate high school, and have a job.
Toda 10 months, 1 week ago
One can't help but wonder what the difference is between an illegal and an undocumented person, regardless of which country they may have come from...the bigger of the two questions resides with how many are here on expired Visa's who are supposed to be attending universities in this country. Thinking in terms of "terrorists", they just pass through terminal gates at major airports and vanish! Not too many of Hispanic's have issued Jihad against Americans.
If one is trying to find a porous border crossings into the US for terrorists, try Canada.
