That's the argument, really, about "tolerance" of illegal immigrants and illegal immigration.

Yes, that title is inflammatory. Intentionally so.

Yet that is the actual position of those arguing for any sort of amnesty, "path forward" or "forbearance" for those who are either illegal immigrants themselves or the employers of same.

Today there are those who argue that their economic model requires illegal immigrant labor (chicken processing plants, fruit pickers, etc) and those illegal immigrants who argue that enforcement of the law is "discrimination" and "wrong."

In the 1800s there were similarly both those arguing that their economic model required slavery and there were some slaves who actually liked their condition and wanted it protected, as it provided them some measure of security they would otherwise lose!

Nonetheless we saw the correct path -- that slavery is morally indefensible irrespective of those arguments, including whether someone's economic model requires it to work.

I suppose the article could be taken as any strawman argument is better than no argument.

That is the only way to connect the amnesty position for presently illegal immigrants as promoting slavery, since the outcome would be to allow them to follow a new legal path to citizenship rather than stay an illegal alien.

The vicious cycle started with an amnesty followed by non-enforcement of existing laws--Title8USC1324-5. Overbreeding Latinos caused wage declines and lack of jobs in their own countries, then illegally came to the US to be hired by law breaking Americans wishing to keep wages low to get more profits and underbid or sell more cheaply than their competition. Americans were driven out of jobs from outright physical force or wages too low to live on, while illegals were allowed to live in far over the legal occupancy of buildings. The border has been trashed out, National Forests burned by them, National Parks and Monuments damaged, ranches and other property robbed and damaged. The ripple effect spread through a variety of jobs, suppressing wages. People could afford less and sought out cheaper products, exacerbating the problem and bringing in the overpopulated low buck of China, too.
Millions of Americans encouraged, aided, abetted, and employed illegals in felony violation of the law, for which they owe $5K fines for EACH illegal or more. The illegals owe $5K fines plus fines for trashing out and ruining the border. The total amount owed by law is staggering, and well over the amount needed to deport all of the illegals and pay off our entire National Debt.
Out of work Americans will take agricultural jobs, they will take construction jobs, they will take factory, housekeeping, and janitorial jobs. They will want fair wages and will pay taxes. Prices will rise 10 to 20%, perhaps, but they are on their way anyway from overpopulation.
A 10% reduction in US population will help, from deporting all the illegals. Having no National Debt will help our economy. However, we need no more immigration at all and laws that help reduce our population to sustainable long term while reducing our emissions 90%. =D> :clap: =D> :angel: \:D/

This emission thing is propoganda to create a new tax.

The oceans are responsible for most emissions followed by volcanoes. Cows and ants are not far behind. Man is way behind. :shock:

Maybes the creatures are getting a raw deal in this statistical nonsense that the so called experts are indulging in.

Climate change yes; manmade global warming no!

When the Roman Empire raised its ugly head grapes were grown in England because the temperature was so mild; in the 18th century the Thames froze over because it was so cold, a mini ice age.

i think that this is not a good thing to create a tax.....its not necessary that every tax is made on a simple human who spend a simple life.so i think its not helpful for the simple man and remember one thing that the its not depend on a man that man change a global warming.
