Down here in Texas we are watching four lead candidates butt heads for the job. All four sell themselves as Conservative Republicans. And they all want to “close the boarders” and “fight Obama”.

Now Texas ain’t too bright of a state. We employ illegal immigrants to great profit, and we pay for their school and healthcare. Yet, despite the Feds not enforcing the laws, people here want to vote for someone who simply stop them from coming into the state. Right, that’ll fix ‘er.

And rather than campaign on what they WILL do, and get us onboard with their masterful plans, theyin’s just gonna fight that there Obama till he’s wooped!

It’s quite a show down here . . . .

And?

I don't know anything about Texas politics....but I've lived in 5 different states, and in every one of them, the developmentally challenged dude that sweeps clippings at my barber shop is more politically influential than the Lieutenant Governor.

In Florida, our lieutenant governor resigned 11 months ago. The governor just got around to appointing a new one.

Maryland is a sanctuary state with a firm tax base from Government employees and we're damn proud of it.
Marylanders sponsor children in Anacostia (DC). For $25/month, they get all the crack and fluoridated water they want.
I (personally) also do fundraisers in Northern Virginia for the MS13 and hand out live, plucked chickens on Santaria Day.

We do what we can to give back to our metro community.🍺

My point is that it is a sad commentary on a state that I happen to love. It worries me . . . .

Great profit?
Maybe for the local farm owner, but not to the tax payers.
PLUS, you get the bonus of paying for their school and healthcare??

Why the hell wouldn't you want to close the borders?

Sounds like you're against it simply because they're conservatives.

Our business concerns make good money off of the “undocumented workers”.

And the boarders are “closed” – but the “closed” sign isn’t stopping many people now is it? It’s is stupid to talk about closing the boarders. The country has to be closed to illegals; no employment, enforced deportation, criminal prosecution of those who would employ them.

But we have hicks that think a taller fence is all we need . . .

I see.
To me, a "closed border" means limiting not only physical access, but also monetary incentive. (no dinero)

I have to apologize for viewing this from my perspective as a pretentious (albeit more highly educated, sophisticated and ... modest) northerner.

In the meantime, remember that good fences make bueno amigos.

Just one problem with that, who is going to build the fences, not the folks who built the railroads, they all have desk jobs now. Can you imagine if we were forced to build the fences, how would we log on to forums from the dessert.

We could solve immigration problem overnight, if every job opening had a native willing to fill it. And if every employer was willing to pay. Until then, the guy that goes two days without food and crosses the dessert to find an honest days work, will win the day.

It's just the same old story;
The great prince issues commands,
Founds states, vests families with fiefs.
Inferior people should not be employed.

We could have black people do it. They've suffered disproportionate unemployment under Obama's regime and surely would welcome the job. We could even "force" them by tieing unemployment benefits to it.

Unfortunately, exploitation of labor is like coffee grinds, you can only use it once. because they learn and improve. Every expansion we have ever had in this country was by "minorities" be it the italian road workers, the polish, the chinese railroad workers, the African slaves and so on. they have all come up, south americans were the last remaining source of near free labor; which our country is built on. When they come up too, the only ones left will be the North American couch potato blogger who has never been used for cheap labor. The time is coming.

You want the natives to fill the jobs? Stop paying them to sit on their butts.

You want the employers to pay? Stop taxing them to death and saddling them with healthcare mandates and hampering their ability to make the people ACTUALLY work.

Two days without food and crossing a desert? (or did you actually mean "dessert"? In which case, I'll take a tiramisu). These are some strong willed, ambitious people. Perhaps they should look from within and take their own country to task instead of crossing illegally and demanding rights from bleeding heart gringos.

You cant, its the curse of being born into privilege.
But therein you have cited the problem. Fortune favors the willing, not those who have become comfortably complacent. Its the law of the universe. Keep in mind, they too got complacent once and lost their land to invading underdogs.

Good catch on the typo, yes we will have to ring some other immigrants to satisfy your sweet tooth for immigrant deserts.

Its nothing short of stupid to think that mexcians are subsidized, they are only here because we want them to subsidize our lives. Thats why we hire them, (they are not employing themselves {like Chinese do}) When a mexican is hunched over all day to pick strawberries, what he is really doing is subsidizing our strawberries so they can remain at $.99cents a pint. If we were to use $10 an hour labor each pint would be $5 and above.

We only use them so that we dont have to pay for fringe benefits and give them our standard of life. So you could say that the handout you are speaking of is really to the farmer.
