    Which one? The wall that wasn't finished or the one around your head? Also, at what point in Trump's first term did the wall begin construction and which Soros appointed court initially shot it down/delayed construction?

    Why did your side let them in in the first place?

    I love how the left tries to treat Latinos like they have blacks. Isn't working and they have no idea why. That is the definition of elitism/racism.

    Are immigrants still eating the dogs and cats?

    Ask the 60% of Latino men and over 50% of Latino women in Florida why they are so "unaware". Take your ignorance to Miami-Dade (12 points to Trump), Oceola, Polk, or Hillsborough for answers, white boy.

    easy to say for the cubans and others granted special status or those that had family here to help them get it done when they arrived. not so easy to do if you arrive here with nothing and can't even get a court date within 1000 miles of where you end up living

    we need more funding to set up a system so they can get their stuff in order and we need to amend the law so that they don't have to leave the country while they are getting their stuff in order

    Democrats in 1860's: "who will pick the crops if you abolish slavery?"

    Democrats in 2020's: "who will work in agriculture/construction/foodservices if you deport the illegal immigrants?"

    SMDH. Some things never change.

    do Alabama. they ended up jailing a german executive for Mercedes because he couldn't prove his citizenship and they were required to do so until his immigration status could be resolved.

    How America's harshest immigration law failed

    The majority of ex slaves became paid laborers and worked on the same plantation. It was a better life for the workers.

    The current undocumented labor force are already paid labor. Why not legalize them under an expanded guest worker program? Wouldn't it be better for all?

    They manage to cross the border illegally and got where they are living then they can deal with the problem. Send them back and they don't need to deal with a court date.

    Incredibly stupid analogy. Immigrants aren’t slaves. Slaves were brought against their will. Most immigrants are desperate to come even if it means starting on the bottom rung here.

    Some numbers, in their desperation, may get caught up in human trafficking or end up in deplorable conditions even inside the U.S. Know what solves that? A robust guest worker provision that ensures even temporary migrant workers are paid above board rather than in cash. That would end a lot of nonsense and trafficking, basically narrow the field (as far as employers go) to tax cheats. If migrants can just safely get temporary work documents and go through border patrol checkpoints, who would cross a desert? Basically just drug smugglers.

    You got 5 million people ready to go to work doing the jobs others won't? You prepared to crash the economy?

    This is the funniest comment I have read in a long time. Especially on the topic of "racist" and "hate filled".

    Meanwhile, for those of us who have lived through this kind of race based persecution and watched authorities, and more importantly their private outsourced armies, just round up people with certain names and appearances and detain/deport them, we know exactly what this about.

    Estimates that I read is 10 million have come here in the last 4 years so I don't see a problem. What are those doing anyway if there are only 5 million working?

    Honest question - what do you read that tells you such nonsense?

    Because if you really read something that told you that, then you need to seriously reevaluate your sources of information. I highly doubt that you can even find numbers as ridiculous as those on the Trumpy fake news sites that have to pay huge settlements for knowingly telling lies.

    Any links?
