Lets say you have a Uhaul and you need to pick up various pieces of heavy cumbersome furniture around town and then put them in your house. Assuming you have no one to help you do it, is it outrageous to go down to the local mexican gethering point, hire two mexicans no questions asked for $50 for the day each, and drop them back off by afternoon?

ETA: I'm not going to do it. It was certainly tempting (although I don't know where the illegals gather here in PA). From my own observation it seems most contractors from Texas have no problem doing what I described in the original post. Anyway, I'm really just waiting for a friend in the area to file some company's report (he's an accountant) and give me a hand on Saturday. It's just frustrating living in a home with no furniture.

Let's see - Hiring illegal immigrants under the table tax free...check. Validating their erroneous decision to come here illegally...check.

it's only OK if you drop them off in Mexico when you're done with 'em

Do that, and you are part of the problem with illegal immigration.  


Ask around your neighborhood for a couple of healthy high school kids who'd be interested in earning $50 for a day's work.  You'd probably find a couple - and you don't have to worry that they'll break into your house next week and steal your shit.

My personal feeling is anyone using illegals should be publicly flogged.

We have a winner.
That was me when I was in high school.
It was joked that I was the neighborhood mexican.
"Hey Doc, I got a sofa I need moved - wanna make 20 bucks?"

Don't outsource oddjobs - kids at home need them more than the damn illegals.
Notice the word illegal?
They are criminals.

That's right, add to the problem, and commit a few crimes in the process. It only matters if you get caught.

I think illegals should be deported immediately, and their employers fined an ammount that makes it VERY cost prohibitive to have hired them in the first place.

and then the illegals can come back and kill the homeowner after the illegals spent all day scoping out all the goodies in the house.


happens all too often.

Thank you for aiding and abetting the invasion of our country by a foreign nation.

I'm sure all those Americans who died in wars protecting our nation from foreign invaders over the past 240 years are sure glad you decided to reward foreign invaders just to save yourself a few bucks.

Your support and funding illegal immigrants won't go unnoticed.

I'm sure they'll erect a monument to quislings like you thanking you for surrendering your nation's soveriegnty over to Mexico without them ever having to fire a single shot.

Oh wait - they already did erect a monument:

You are a criminal just like them when you support illegals.

Supporting Illegals = Treason

My dad did exactly what you described.

Well...  not exactly.

Instead of going to an illegal alien gathering point, he went to a local biker bar.

He found a small group of HUGE harley dudes, and bought them a round.
Then asked if they would help him move a washer and drier into our basement.
(when I was too young to help)

They were happy to help.

Screw the fucking illegals.  More than enough help out there if you are looking for it.

Its SOP in LA and in the border states with the gathering areas.

You get a pickup, you go to where they are hanging out and tell them you have a job. They will do a lot of work for a lot less.

<Link to video removed.  Does it seem logical to anyone besides me it would likely be problematical to post a video called "The Amazing Racist" on a site where THE FIRST RULE OF THE CONDUCT CODE DEALS WITH THIS KIND OF THING??  "Probably not work safe" indeed.  Sheesh.  --tbk1>

Wrong.

It costs us a huge amount to have illegal aliens working here.

You need to include the DIRECT costs American citizens pay in supporting illegal aliens through DIRECT medical care costs, K-12 education costs, prison incarceration costs and other government services and handouts to them which is easily in the tens of billions of dollars. Just in Texas, California and Arizona alone, the DIRECT cost of illegal immigration in those states is $16BILLION per year - that's just in three states.

And then there's the INDIRECT cost of illegal aliens on American citizens from skyrocketting property crimes, violent crimes, motor-vehicle accidents and thefts, higher insurance premiums, higher medical premiums, more communicable diseases, greater drug trafficking and availability, depressed wages, neighborhood blight... the list goes on.

So please don't fall for and perpetuate the LIE that illegal immigration represents "cheap labor" - illegal aliens are anything but "cheap".

They cost us a LOT!!
