What makes people think that:
1- they can expel every single illegal immigrant from the U.S.
2- sending these immigrants back to their home countries is beneficial to Americans
3- wanting to ship ‘em back is NOT racist
I don’t care who you are (Mike Huckabee) but even so much as considering a plan to deport millions of people is sheer stupidity.
It is not possible to do such a thing.
Even if you get through the short, brown illegal immigrant stereotype, there are still a buttload more that you would never guess are in this country illegally.
(I personally know all kinds of adorable children, really attractive ladies and super intelligent overachievers that are in this country illegally)
Aside from this, I’ve already written about how people who advocate this idea, are kidding themselves when they say they are not racist.
A truly tolerant person would see that these people are not here to rape and pillage, this person would observe the loving, close-knit family dynamic of Latino immigrants, and their (for the most part) Catholic values.
This person would recognize that if their ancestors had been so rudely deported when they arrived on U.S. soil, that they themselves would probably not be enjoying the privileged lifestyle that Americans have been blessed with.
Finally, this person, as a compassionate and just human being, he would not want to send these people back to their deteriorating, poverty-stricken home countries, anymore than they would want to go themselves.
I think all the non-racists should get together, and implement a plan that would actually be effective in reducing illegal immigration into the U.S. such as working to improve relations with, and more importantly, the economic situations in Mexico and Latin America. Maybe some of the billions of dollars that Israel is getting from us can go to countries that really need it, countries that are right in our backyard. (Yeah I take jabs at Israel a lot, what can I say i'm human)
But we will never make progress as long as you racists are in denial and continue lying to yourselves about your true intentions.
Immigrants carry the agriculture, construction, landscaping, and service industries on their backs. To send them away would leave vacancies that Americans are not going to fill.
Aside from mistreatment and exploitation, their hours and wages are absolutely miserable (that means no sick days or paid vacations- man you Americans love getting paid for doing nothing). While there are U.S. citizens that would work these shit jobs, there would definitely not be enough of them to replace the loss of immigrant labor.
In order to fill the jobs, employers will need to raise salaries and throw in some benefits.
Hey, that’s not so bad right?
Well guess who’s paying for it? You are.
The customer.
I know what you’re thinking: “pssh, over my dead body I’ll just cut the damn grass myself”
Cut away Joe Schmo, but like I said the agriculture, construction, landscaping and service industries DEPEND on immigrant labor.
You cannot go one day without enjoying the fruit of all of this labor (no pun intended)
You can snub your nose at janitors, bus boys, construction workers and fruit pickers but you cannot deny that these people are the backbone of society.
They make your life easier, and more importantly they make the way you live your life possible.
However offensive their existence is to you, our country needs them.
Not only as workers, but as small business owners and consumers.
Their purchasing power is insane, and some of them do pay taxes.
All of this may not convince you, but how about this simple fact: Latinos are the fastest growing minority in the U.S., far exceeding Blacks and Asians.
Illegal immigrants are shaping our country’s demographics. Their children and grandchildren will be a force in this country. They will be your neighbors, your friends, your coworkers and bosses, your congressmen and senators, your favorite movie star or musician, your star athletes, the valedictorians at your kid’s schools and most likely: your relatives.
Latinos are sexy people, I defy you Americans to not marry and have babies with these hot mofo’s.
So pretty much all I am saying is: we’re already here, you need us, so deal with it.
Really though, how hard is to coexist people? Come on now.
