[QUOTE=benzi2k7;49804266]have you given up on arguing your point now and just turning to insulting (????) other peoples countries, there's a 0.5% difference in growth rate between the two countries. both are issues, germany isn't talking about buildin a fuckin wall though[/QUOTE] They could sure use one. But I don't want to compare the situation in Europe to illegal immigration in the US, those two situations are very very different and not really comparable, that isn't fair. And no I haven't, but I would rather a nation without millions of illegal immigrants, I want people who came here to become Americans.
also one point was that the farmers at the border didn't support the fence and there is no leagal means of disowning them which is hilarious because the farmers depend on cheap labor too the whole industry just released a warning of keeping foreigners out a few days ago, the transportation industry is up in arms about border controls basically everyone in economy is pro-migration yet the anti-migration people try to raise economy as a valid point somehow [editline]24th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=wystan;49804276]They could sure use one.

[QUOTE=wystan;49804276]They could sure use one. And no I haven't, but I would rather a nation without millions of illegal immigrants, I want people who came here to become Americans.[/QUOTE]... then why not reform the immigration system and give a path to citizenship for people who are essential to the lifeblood of many industries within your country okay, remove all the illegal immigrants from your country. please tell me what happens then, what happens to the jobs that cannot be filled? you are seemingly willing to spend a stupid amount of money on a wall that will solve literally none of those issues yet aren't willing to help people become citizens, who are there illegally yes but only because it is nearly impossible for them (as low skilled workers) to go to your country legally. how do you help immigrants come here legally if you do not reform the immigration system? how do you fill those jobs? americans aren't gonna look at that big wall and finally feel safe against the immigrants and willingly take slave wages.
[QUOTE=wystan;49804276] I want people who came here to become Americans.[/QUOTE] [quote]Think about it on principle, a criminal should not be rewarded for "getting away with it", they don't deserve citizenship for coming here illegally. I'm not putting words in their mouths or speaking for them, but just think about it on principle. Removing criminals from this country is inherently positive. What good is a positive impact on the economy if it's source is criminals? Low skilled work can come from anyone.[/quote]
i don't understand you, you seemingly agree with the issues that america is facing but present no solutions for the problems?

Anyways, low-skill labor can be replaced with young (obviously cant cover all the illegals) people or automation (which would reduce the number of jobs in that field admittedly), but the work is getting done. Especially if we stick with the agriculture department, which is constantly requiring less people to actually do the farming.
Some dude speaking about the "growth of the nation" while also supporting torture and "the mexicans are sending rapists across the border" Trump next to the US flag above the new WTC is just ringing some alarms here I hope you understand that. My first hint was when you didn't understand between percentages of voters or who is actually voting here to spin it into some "look Trump is not racist!" post when nobody previously even mentioned that though [QUOTE=wystan;49803160]Trump got 46% of the Hispanic vote.

"which is constantly requiring less people to actually do the farming." less people = 78% of farm workers being foreign born who come over the border.. downward trends are not overnight. you cannot use that line of reasoning to support removing those workers because it does not line up with reality. [editline]24th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=wystan;49804333]How are the young not unskilled workers?[/QUOTE]because they're high school graduates or in college wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and there are less and less young people!! what happens when those young people get old? you gonna keep them doing the same job? what if they don't want to work on farms for the rest of their life. there are not enough young people to replace those jobs, and you seemingly do not want to improve immigration to help fill those jobs so what the hell is your solution dude [editline]24th February 2016[/editline] whats the point of putting a child through school, high school and college if you're just going to put them to work doing low-skilled work... jesus

[QUOTE=benzi2k7;49804247]you want some fuckin facts bro here u go "There were 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2014, [B]down from 6.4 million in 2009[/B], according to preliminary Pew Research Center estimates." why build a wall? "Nearly half of the 12 million-plus illegal aliens in America arrived legally with temporary, non-immigrant visas. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates that a 'substantial' percentage of America’s illegal population is made up of visa overstays — their estimates range from 27 to 57 percent" why build a wall? "The vast majority of farm workers – 78% according to the most recent National Agricultural Workers Survey– are foreign-born and crossed a border to get here." how are you going to replace those workers? are americans willing to put up with earning on average $10,000 - $12,000 a year? are you okay with that? "It is estimated that at least 6 out of 10 of our country’s farm workers are undocumented" where are you gonna get those replacements, willing to work for shit pay? when they're coming out of high school or at college? you expect them to do this work? that is morally wrong. "Frankly the best way to stop all this is fix Mexico" maybe stop implementing trade deals like NAFTA that flood Mexico with american corn forcing them to come north to work? you literally just admitted that there is no way that americans can keep up with the demand of low skilled jobs. how does kicking out all the low skilled workers solve this at all!? how can you solve this issue without importing labor? americans are not willing, and should not have to, work in low wage jobs when they are high school graduates or at college. it is sad for the undocumented workers also that they get paid so little but they are willing, so why not make use of them while also improve labor and pay standards?! why not put effort into benevolent options rather than build a wall that solves nothing. the low skilled workers are [B]needed [/B]and it not possible to get those low skilled workers from america without exploiting the lower class.

What skilled jobs are a highschool student or undergrad qualified for? Highschoolers work entry-level low-skill jobs for a reason, that is why you see so many as Wait staff, dishwashers/busboys/prep cooks (the food industry is full of them), general laborers, when I was in high school I held multiple shitty low level jobs like my classmates. Undergrads typically work the same type, the lucky ones managed to get some internship that pertained to their degree path.

[QUOTE=wystan;49804379]It was this faith based organization which a couple of cute power points with vague sources.[/QUOTE]and their sources were from............??? are you denying the average wages? are you denying the makeup of the farm industry? the faith based aspect is because they hold Christian values and are seeing facts & statistics that conflict with their morality. just because they are coming from a religion viewpoint doesn't make the facts any less real lmao
I'm saying all the "sources" listed in the powerpoints weren't links to anything, just name dropping a source without anything specific to follow and trace back to. Literally anyone can do that and fabricate data. I still don't see how you think Highschoolers and undergrads aren't suitable for low-skill labor, that's what you do, you starting working in high school and college, and as a student, you aren't qualified to do much, some do clerical work, and some do labor, the same labor illegals do.
