I love it when a friend you see every day tries to hash out his storebought logic on a subject of which he has no grasp whatsoever.
This person, who took approximately 20 paragraphs on his blog to explain his take on immigration, grabs the talking points off the radio. (This is what hair metal cassettes are for, sir, you have no idea what you are getting into!)
He claims illegal immigrants don't pay taxes and get benefits. The fact is that illegal immigrants don't get benefits. They pay their taxes (or at least the vast majority do, which is a higher number than US citizens who do so), and they earn their keep all the while staying under the radar.
Just because Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh on the Jesus station you listen to tell you something doesn't make it true, dude. Nor does you actively supporting the corraling of the populace into a corner with freedoms being taken away, one by one.
The person who is espousing his takes on the issues is guy who comes from an affluent suburban family and has had everything dropped in his lap in life. Sorry bud, but you gotta admit you have.
He keeps talking about legal immigration this and legal immigration that, but if it's almost friggin impossible to immigrate here legally unless you're from a fellow we're-white-rich-honkeys-too-let-us-in country, you can't get in without years of deliberation and paying a small fortune. (I'm a honkey so i can use the term, ahem.)
Yes, it's fun when you've been helping people and doing something with your life in your spare time, and then working with friends in the daily grind who like to invalidate and tear everything you stand for down to the ground in theirs.
I don't think you have anything to offer on the subject, case closed.
This family is still torn apart thanks to our wonderful immigration 'system':
You'll notice Mr. Gimp on the far right. We were at playa bagdad outside of Matamoros. The gulf of Mexico flows and ebbs without a border check. Man has truly dominated man to his own injury.
