Ilegal People: persecuting undocumented workers-2/2

Increased Raids and Checkpoint Arrests Endanger Undocumented Immigrants Threatened by Gulf Coast Storms

Undocumented immigrants along the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast have resisted mandatory evacuation orders out of fear they could be arrested and deported at checkpoints. The climate of fear around deportation has worsened as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE, continues to step up its raids across the country, with two of the largest raids in US history taking place in the last five months. We speak to David Bacon, award-winning photojournalist, labor organizer and immigrant rights activist and author of Illegal People: How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Migrants.

Name one single raid on any immigrant community anywhere in the country. Raids on illegal alien communities, yes and appropriately so. What rational reason not to raid them? Why should any immigrant, particularly illegal immigrants, take jobs from American citizens? I have yet to hear a rational response to this question! 25+ million Americans un/under employed and Democrats talking about opening up the country to 100s million more immigrants! Sounds like Jefferson Davis is in the White House

3/3 C SPAN “Black Republican Forum” Session 2 (begin at 11:30) West said one of the 1986 caveats was to secure our borders, enforcement our laws, but we’re still talking about new amnesty like DREAM Act. We can’t allow local cities to make sanctuary cities policies, because they will bring our inner city turf wars to epic proportions by bringing in the drug cartel and Columbian gangs. (Mexican Gangs don’t recognize our borders established by the Treaty of Guadalupe)

2/3 In November 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.8% with 15.1 million unemployed. (15.1 million/9.8%) = 154 million are able to work in the workforce. 11,941,812 (or 11.9 million) skilled jobs provided to illegal immigrants. GOOGLE “illegal immigration counters”, the 15.1 million unemployed could take the 11.9 million available jobs. The unemployment rate could be reduced to 2.1% {{15.1-11.9)/154}

[agentc73]

Someone sneaks into OUR country, unwelcome, unwanted,

stealing jobs($2 TRILLION+ of wages yearly),

and social services($336 BILLION YEARLY)

from the US born/legal immigrants of all races,

but it's not stealing? Undocumented?

You mean ILLEGAL, BREAKING THE LAW DAILY, right?

Illegal = Illegal, STEALING = STEALING.

I WELCOME those of ALL races who obey the law. Hopping a fence illegally, bringing disease, crime, and poverty, is NOT immigration of ANY sort.

It's INVASION by foreign nationals.

US must proceeding with mexican engulfment path for fulfill paradise. US needing 4 billion more mexico nationals migrating if US having any hope to bring living standard to equal with mexico. In summary, mexican engulfment is so good.
