Word. The amount of children being sired by but not cared for those types of guys probably makes any reasonable person want to vomit, as well.

Just as an anecdotal thing but in my limited experience dealing with Hispanic immigrants over the course of my life I’ve always felt they have a greater appreciation for family and kinship than Americans do today.
Just an observation. Not wanting to launch a grand debate about the why’s or whatever’s.

I think most just want to see the influx of illegal immigrants stopped, and we begin really vetting who comes across. I'd also like to see a month-by-month adjustment of how many we let in based on various criteria. I'd love to get rid of the criminals, but it's just going to be impossible to weed out (until they commit a crime, then they deported). No problem with the basis of immigration, though.. and I think most feel this way.
We need cheap labor in America. Not even our lower class of caucasians and blacks want to do it anymore.. they'd rather just collect benefits, or job hop and essentially just collect a paycheck. So we are going to need the immigration for a work force, but ideally, we'd pay them on the cheap and them work their way up. And it's still a FAR better life than what they had back home.
I think they make for far better citizens and offer much more output per capita than lower lower class do. But that's what we should be doing: vetting the immigrants to the highest degree. We take the good ones, turn away the bad ones.
It’s not even lower class jobs. Half the doctors and scientists in this country are immigrants or non-white as well. That’s the whole thing about America. The best and brightest from around the world come here for more opportunities, and the whole population benefits as a whole as well.
That seems fairly universal amongst recent immigrants. I used to be engaged to an Armenian young lady whose family immigrated to flee the war there. (They even had a pitstop in Ukraine for the relative safety). Utterly awesome people.
There's nothing more American than a recent immigrant family trying to assimilate while keeping their identity, too, imo.
What a remarkable country.
Amazing what happens when you get outside the political thread. We’ve got people responding in this thread who actually look at things with an open mind, not just blindly spewing insults for their “team.”
Good input from all here.
@hddon Please tell me what's funny about it. There's no meaningful produce or meat industry in this country without Hispanic labor. That's a fact.
Sure there may be a few bad apples, but overall and IMO, I think the Hispanic inflow over the years in Lexington is one of the coolest things (culturally speaking). Great restaurants, family values, hard workers and the Blue Grass fair is a LOT less redneck.
Guarantee you its got nothing on the frickin United Nations that inhabit the Bardstown Rd Walmart in Louisville. I think there are homeless people literally living in the aisles of that place.
You're an idiot. Latin Americans themselves know what kind of people are leaving their countries to come here. Mostly deadbeat dads who leave their families behind in places like Ecuador to suffer without a husband/father so that those lowlifes can start a new life here.
You're right, but this isn’t the issue. The issue is the outright invasion since 2021 and all the negative consequences that naturally come with it.
Cities are demanding aid to take care of migrants. That will come from the feds, which we’ll all pay for. ERs are functioning as primary care for people who shouldn’t be here, which we all pay for. Auto premiums are skyrocketing in part to cover the costs of illegal drivers. Schools overwhelmed with kids that they have no resources to help with. On and on. And this isn’t even getting into the crime, the gangs, the drugs.
There can’t be rules for some and not for all.
Most of the people I talk to about this understand the difference between actual, legal immigration and what’s happening at the border. And all of those people have no issue with immigration if it’s done the right way. Your post is spot on.
The fact that we haven’t shut down the illegal crossings while simultaneously making it easier to get the paperwork to come here and work- and pay taxes like everyone else- shows that neither party gives a shit about us.
It's always obvious when you see the people who are all for this while never having to live around it and see the problems that come with importing this. The suburban types who virtue signal on social media and back all of these causes all while they never have to live near it. That Martha's Vineyard stunt a couple of years ago was pure comedy because that's exactly the type of people who are all about mass flooding of the border until it comes a little too close to your comfort. For someone else though? It's totally okay.
