IMMIGRATION REFORM ASAP !!!

[BoxGuy1951]

Matt Damon- Ive had a true admiration for you & your struggles to get to where you are presently. I hope that when you are considering this Immigration Crisis that you do so knowing that although Illegal Aliens are not the entire problem with our job shortage they are by all means a very large part of it. They work for " cash as payment " , use our social & educational benefits illegally , overburden our prisons costing Americans $350,000,000,000 / annually. Arent you first an American ?

[Anomaly100]

I wasn't interested in the film until now. I'm definitely going to see it. I'm sick of the fear some people try to incite over immigration. The words, "illegal alien" should never have been spoken together.

[BoxGuy1951]

Anomaly- Why dont you say that to some of the 16,000,000 plus Americans out of work due in no small part to Illegal Aliens taking over the jobs that " NO Americans Would do ". Im one of those Americans that have paid my dues with service in the US Army during the Vietnam War & have had until 2006 an ongoing shop which employed 3 American employees but has since failed from inability of bidding as low as my competition who use Illegal Aliens for their shop at $7.50 to $10.00 /hr. Youre ignorant !

[Anomaly100]

@BoxGuy1951 You call me ignorant & you think they keep us unemployed? Most of them are hired because we won't do these jobs that pay nothing. Thank you for your military service and I mean that, but we have a conflict of views here. That's all. I didn't call you ignorant. You're just listening to the whole story.

[BoxGuy1951]

Anomaly - Before you make the statement that they are hired because we wont do those jobs you should determine more information. In the Southwest they are presently in ALL of the trades. What you must not understand is that they are setting a precedent for the future of labor here in America. At present we still have labor laws and standards that were accomplished by Unions. If left unchecked we will have NO or deduced labor laws and employment without verifying the status of the employee.

[BoxGuy1951]

Anamoly- Is that the type of world that you wish to raise your children in? Use the cheapest labor available in all facets of employment and if that means that American jobs go away then so be it? We dont need to be short-sighted in determining our future. We can provide everything that is necessary for the American people in foods , goods and employment. We dont need products from any other land. Its set up that way for us to be dependant on them as a source for their labor & products. Think !

[Anomaly100]

We don't need products from any other country? Seriously? We buy cars from other countries giving other people jobs. China, Japan & many countries benefit because we don't buy American, which sucks. Oil. Need I say more? Oil rules this world. We treat countries well even if they hate us because they have oil. Wars are determined by oil. I use to live in Fla & would see trucks pull up & piles of Mexicans boarded the back being taken to the fields to make $10 for a 10-12 hr day.

[BoxGuy1951]

@Anomaly100 - There is nothing built on this planet that cannot be built & probably built better here in the US ! Think about the Walmarts , Costcos , Sams Clubs Kmarts , Target etc that import products or buy in volume just to sell plastic toys etc. to our public. These companies are subsidized by France , China and other Asian countries or have offshore taxation that doesnt leave the profits here in the US. Oil ? We only need oil for plastics. There are other energy devices to take its place.

[BoxGuy1951]

@Anomaly100 - Are you an Illegal Alien ?

[Anomaly100]

@BoxGuy1951 No, why? I was born & raised in New Orleans, currently living in New York, but peleeasse, don't call Sheriff Arpaio on me.

[BoxGuy1951]

@Anomaly100 - Energy companies do not allow these products to be sold for fear of replacement without profit. Oil & Gas , Electric , Communications , Media , Automobile and Aircraft , Food and Alcohol Companies have a strangle hold on the American public. They are ALL controlled by the same people that control the World Banks , The Military Industrial Complex , almost ALL figures in High Office around the world. They want labor costs reduced so they are pushing for Amnesty. Can you afford it?

[Anomaly100]

@BoxGuy1951 I meant, "you're just not listening to the whole story." I mistyped that. Look at the comment I wrote before you replied to me. What in that is "ignorant?" I am sick of Lou Dobbs inciting fear & sheriff Arpaio hunting down immigrants.

[BoxGuy1951]

Anomaly- PLEASE consider the side of the story where they are here ILLEGALLY using social & educational benefits , where they DO INDEED take jobs that plenty of Americans still want simply because their employers , both legal & illegal , use them for poverty level wages thereby bring the scale down for those that have spent a lifetime in the trades, overburden our prison system & work for " cash as payment " thereby not paying into our system. In your mind does this sound reasonable or fair ?

[Anomaly100]

Of course I consider this and it is wrong. Why can't they become legal, so that we could make money from taxing them? What is the harm? Mexicans as a whole are hard workers. They aren't looking for a free ride. Right now, we would be better off taxing the ones that are already here working.

[BoxGuy1951]

@Anomaly100 - They CAN become legal. They Choose not to become legal to circumvent the rule which would require them to get to the back of a very long line of people that want to become LEGAL citizens of the US. Anyone that would deny anyone of any race a chance to be a legal citizen following legal procedures provided that their skill is truly necessary is a racist. Illegal Aliens ARE NOT necessary. At this time in US history we dont need more legal immigrants either. 16,000,000 + w/ NO WORK ?

[AndiMedi]

Nice. Reminding us in the US of our multiple roots and common destiny.

[Anomaly100]

I agree. I think it's great to celebrate our diversity. I'm tired of hearing the fear mongers & half truth tellers. I didn't even know Matt Damon's background & now, because he's worked hard to get where he is, he contributes to this country via paying taxes in numbers we can't even imagine. He's not complaining, like some people do.
