Obama soft on illegal immigrants

[beetlespin]

The reason we are sending illegals back home has nothing to do with any political party. The fact of the matter is we have a crappy economy with high unemployment and therefore no jobs for illegals. If the economy was booming like it was three years ago we wouldn't be sending any back...

I think the 911 plane bombers, were here leagally, just over stayed their welcome, which the US Government has no way of tracking them once they are here.
I say put a cow chip, in their ears.Not the green kind with corn in it, but a tracking chip with all their info.
As for fines go, Tyson Chicken in Ellajay,got shut down, now they're going again..Bill Klinton's buddy from Arkansas.
Obama knows how to count, 54 States of America? Got his Koran and States mixed up.

Dems been in control since 0'07...got a few million more illegals to choose from..makes 'em easier to catch, thus the numbers go up. Sorta like catch'n crappie, schools of 'em produce more fish.
And of course they are running slower with all the back packs full of drugs, and the pregant women with anchor babies in their bellies. smile

I'm sure they are sending a few back if for nothing more than publicity. Especially since the vast majority of Americans do not want them here. It is my opinion that neither this nor any other administration will do much to stem the tide of illegals coming here. Companies want them because many Americans will no longer work labor jobs. Heck they don't have to. The liberals give them a free living so they don't have to work. I see it all over the US in my travels. Most of the customers we have CANNOT get Americans to work the manual labor jobs. They either hire illegals or go out of business. Another major reason the illegals are not going anywhere is because they are propping up Social Security. They get fake SS cards and the employers deduct from their checks and send the money to Washington. These same illegals will never draw a dime. Unless of course the liberals need some votes in the future. Then they will be given amnesty and citizenship.

It matters not whether a state is red or blue. Fact is that people in this country for the most part will not do hard physical labor anymore. Especially for the wages that are paid for unskilled work. They are more content to sit at home and draw some kind of government assistance than get out to work. They want professional level wages for entry level work. Few are willing to pay the dues like my generation and the generations before. Hence we see the immigration problems and the like. Hence we also see monsters like BHO getting elected to office. People want something for nothing.

I agree

They are more content to sit at home and draw some kind of government assistance than get out to work.

Not true see the graph below:

Poverty rate is used as a qualifier for government assistance, and with it at near historic lows your assessment of "more" just simply does not hold water.

You can post all the graphs you want but it will not change the fact that peope will not work because they don't have to.

Like I've said before, I have hired and fired before. Retired at present, but I'm going to open another company soon, I HOPE, and I will be hiring again.
MY experience and some facts: I have hired some friends sons, and told, "if they do not work tell me and I'll take care of the situation." NO, I'll take care of it,
"YOU'RE FIRED"!! Best way to loose a frend is to hire his "hard working son." Exception; I hired out some work last month and the guy I hired, I fired in the early 90's.
He is a grow man now and owns his own company.Told me that fireing him was the best thing that happened to him, he grew up. His father & I are friends to this day, but some of the loafers dads are not friends any longer. It embarrassed both dad & son. It's like giving credit/$$ to friends/family..gonna bite u in the azz one day.
A major company that come into town several years back and hired lotsa people, it is running on a skeleton crew now,,,they would NOT work, drugs, lazy and other problems.
A man that needs to work, usually will, a man that has to work, usually will loaf,skylark,sluffoff and does not care.The old joke is; That's why they pay you on Friday instead of Thursday, that way you show up and get paid before the weekend, & don't call in sick.
I cannot hire someone and then have to "pace" them while they work. That's why I hired them!! so I could do more important work.I Alway's pay above min wage.
Most of the time, it is cheaper to work employees overtime, than to put another person on payroll.
My son works 2 jobs, 5-6 days a week, and I'm pretty sure that he will own one of the comapnies one day soon.He got his work ethics from his father.
It's the old saying about the fruit falling not far from the tree and I'm damned proud, so take a look around at the orchard you're working in.
Give me a senior citizen that needs to work, and I'll hire him everytime, it's a matter of work ethics.
