And what terrible burden have they brought on the US apart from putting salad on plates, doing gardening, making construction cheaper...
When they fall off a roof, their "employer" who is paying them cash off the books takes no responsibility, so he goes to the ER where taxpayers, who have seen their wages drop due to competition (esp. in working class areas) from illegals, end up footing the bill.
Essentially a subsidy for shady contractors.
They also put upward demand on housing, particularly again in working class neighborhoods where they add to the competition for affordable housing, raising rents and prices.
Also, they pay no state income tax, but their kids go to school. In states like Cali where you have controlled Property Tax values and schools get a bigger chunk of the budget from state revenue which in turn is quite dependent on income taxes, this is another subsidy.
You can see why landlords and employers love illegals: Crush wages, disclaim all worker's comp and place it on taxpayer, raise rents/home prices.
Sure thing Tatty... Last post you made on the old profile was Aug. 11th
You started this profile on Aug. 18th.
Wrong as usual. Is your fascination with this because you have so many alts on the go at the same time?
Rashomon
The Rashomon effect is the effect of the subjectivity of perception on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it.

Wow, well googled. Thanks for telling me something I already knew. It's one of the greatest films of all time, but you're such an uneducated buffoon I'm sure you didn't know that.
A Welfare State is incompatible with mass immigration.
I should point out during the "Malaise" in the late 70s, after paying for Vietnam and greatly expanding the welfare state, our National Debt was negligible.
Yet in Glorious Inevitable and Unstoppable Neoliberalism Era of Free Trade, Labor Market Arbitrage, and Low Taxes, we are now approaching a GDP-to-debt ratio of 100%.
There's a huge wealth transfer via unofficial and official government economic policy based on Globalization that is making the 1% super rich at the expense of the bottom 2/3.
Duh, obviously not. I see you're not denying you're Quigley.
I actually had Ironman on ignore for a year or so when he was being unspeakably racist.
I might be a bigot, but I'm not racist.
Salad bars are the bastard spawn of salad bowls.
Now do you get it???
I'm not sure what salad bars have to do with anything. I was talking about the salad bowl farming area.
Les Deplorables grow in numbers & server with each passing day!
Join Les Deplorables, Patriots, and help us take our SOVEREIGN DESTINY BACK FROM THE GLOBALIST SCUM!
Les Deplorables (many millions) shall tune in to watch the kabuki-theater that is Hillary Rodham-Clinton's "let them eat cake" rhetoric tomorrow.
Here are seven of Clinton’s biggest flip-flops:
1. Gay Marriage.
For almost a decade and as late as 2010, Clinton opposed gay marriage but backed civil unions for gay and lesbian couples, as this video makes clear. In 2002, Clinton was asked by Chris Matthews of MSNBC, “Do you think New York State should recognize gay marriage?†Clinton’s answer: “No.†In 2004, as New York senator, she said: “I believe that marriage is not just a bond, but a sacred bond between a man and a woman.â€

By 2013, she was saying: “I support marriage for lesbian and gay couples†personally and as a matter of policy. But in a 2014 interview with Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air, she denied having changed her stance and suggested that Gross was trying to twist her words.
2. The Iraq War.
In 2002, explaining her vote for invading Iraq, Clinton said: “It is clear… that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage chemical and biological warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons …This is probably the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should be hard, but I cast it with conviction.â€
On Meet the Press in 2008, Clinton defended her vote authorizing the war, telling the late Tim Russert: “it is absolutely unfair to say that the vote as [former Senator and Defense Secretary] Chuck Hagel, who was one of the architects of the resolution, has said, was a vote for war. It was a vote to use the threat of force against Saddam Hussein, who never did anything without being made to do so.â€
Last May, she changed her tune about the vote, saying: “I made it very clear that I made a mistake, plain and simple. And I have written about it in my book.â€
3. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
As secretary of state under President Obama, Clinton backed this ambitious 12-nation trade agreement, which was never concluded and is now in jeopardy. But Sanders – and Republican nominee Donald Trump – have denounced trade deals such as TPP as detrimental to American workers. Now Clinton opposes TPP, which she once called the “gold standard†of trade deals.
4. North American Free Trade Agreement.
As first lady, Clinton was credited with helping her husband, President Bill Clinton, secure passage of NAFTA, a major trade deal that has since been criticized as a killer of U.S. manufacturing jobs. As a senator in 2004, she said: “I think on balance, NAFTA has been good for New York and America.†In her unsuccessful primary battle against then Senator Barack Obama in 2008, she said she was one of the voices within Bill Clinton’s administration “warning about NAFTA.â€Â

5. The Keystone Pipeline.
In 2010, Secretary of State Clinton said the administration was “inclined†to support the building of the controversial pipeline, which would transport heavy crude oil from Canada to the U.S. She now flat-out opposes Keystone, saying “I never took a position on Keystone until I took a position on Keystone.†PolitiFacts calls that a “No Flip,†but others see it as a decision based on which way the political windsock was blowing.
6. Criminal Justice.
In 1996, Hillary Clinton spoke in New Hampshire in support of a law signed by Bill Clinton, the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which has since been blamed in part for America having the highest mass incarceration rate in the world. She said: "We also have to have an organized effort against gangs. Just as in a previous generation we had an organized effort against the mob. We need to take these people on …They are often the kinds of kids that are called super predators — no conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first, we have to bring them to heel." Clinton has been criticized by Bernie Sanders and most recently Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus for calling African-American youths “super predators.†Though she didn’t make a direct connection, Sanders said, “it was a racist term, and everyone knew it was a racist term.†Clinton has said she regrets using those words. Her website now says: “This mass incarceration epidemic has an explicit racial bias, as one in three black men can expect to go to prison in their lifetime. A significant number of those incarcerated are held for low-level, nonviolent offenses. We must end the era of mass incarceration.â€
7. Illegal Immigrant Children.
In 2014, Clinton discussed the influx of children from Central America illegally crossing into the U.S. with Christiane Amanpour of CNN. She said: “We have to send a clear message that just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.†But in an MSNBC/Telemondo Town Hall in February, Jose Diaz-Balart asked if those children should be treated like a message. “Well,†Clinton said, “the children themselves need to be taken care of. They are children. They should be given every help that we can.â€

Boom!
Hillary won't get 50% of the black turnout that Obama got, nor 70% of the Hispanic turnout.
IN FACT, if one offsets the gains Trump will get in Hispanic converted votes, Hillary may get less than 60% of the Hispanic votes that Obama received (and less than 50% in Florida)!
Trump must deliver on many of his promises to help the middle and working class, who GOT HIM ELECTED and who were largely forgotten under both George W. Bush & Barack Obama, now.
You can take those 50% of the black turnout that Obama got, nor 70% of the Hispanic turnout to the bank for sure. Plus there's this cuban guy who has a high paying gig too.
Until the Spirit Cooking came out. Most Latinos don't dig that Santera shit. We were looking at rentals in Miami once, and saw an apartment where they had converted a closet to Santera worship, there was like a jug of chicken blood and all these black candles and shit, both the landlady and my wife (Puerto Rican and Cuban) ran the fuck out of there.
