    No, they actually can't. You generally can't get a job until you have legal authorization to work in the country.

    Illegals shouldn't be taking American jobs! Also, they shouldn't come here unless they have a job and can support themselves!

    That’s the way most first world countries do it…

    The driver must've thought he was in Charlottesville and the migrants were protestors.

    Aren’t these contradictory?

    Is there any evidence that most illegals that come here don’t get jobs and don’t support themselves?

    Uh, yeah. They're called child labor laws.

    I don't understand how child labor laws are evidence of unemployment of the undocumented and their sources of support. Can you elaborate?

    Those immature parasite-like mini-me's we endlessly brag about and play up as perfect little sunbeams in our perfect little existences on Fecebook? Yeah, the outlanders bring theirs with them, many if not most with no means of supporting them. Don't think it's legal for them to work.

    I still don't follow. Are you stating that the evidence that illegals are under employed is because we adopted child labor laws to prohibit children, including their's, from working?

    Doesnt make sense especially since many of the unaccompanied minors coming in end up doing child labor in the US

    Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.

    What is your criteria of a "first world country"? HDI? Originally, first world country was a cold war term for countries aligned with the USA, so it can't be that.

    What Is a First World (aka Developed or Industrialized) Country?

    I saw the video of this crime scene, and it is gruesome... You really don't want to see it because it's something that you won't ever forget.

    Speaking of Charlottesville, the US government is funding and equipping people in Ukraine who, were they in Charlottesville, would have been labeled as Nazis.

    But carry on …

    Orlando, Florida
    BROWNSVILLE, Texas — Brownville Police Department Chief Felix Sauceda said during a news conference on Monday morning that the driver who is accused of killing eight people at a Brownsville bus stop Sunday is known to his department.

    George Alvarez has an 'extensive rap sheet,' Sauceda said, and is charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon connected with Sunday's crash.

    They’re not taking American jobs we need them desperately. My reasonable proposal? greet them warmly at the border. Do a brief background check weed out gang affiliated.. Set a quota 75% or whatever the right # is get a work visa the others have to wait in Mexico for the next month. Work with charities and NGO’s to help relocate them. Require them to cross the border at least once every 9 months (many are seasonal and already do). Most importantly try to help fix the calamitous conditions in their home country so that many remain.
