  • So you think illegals will just dump their children on children’s services? You don’t think Mexicans love their children and would want to take them with them? Not even leave them with resident relatives? Just dump them and go?

If you understood how the foster care system works, you would know that they don’t get a choice. I’ve done foster care, I know how it works. If the child is an American citizen, and the parent is arrested for being an illegal immigrant, the child is placed in foster care. They are then appointed a guardian ad litem to represent the child's best interest. If the parent is deported, it is up to the judge WHEN the child is then placed up for adoption. Even should the parent want them, the guardian ad litem's fight to have the parents rights stripped because living in the US is better for the children. The judge gets to rule, and the parent cannot attend court because they were deported. There are currently thousands of children in foster care because their parent was deported. In you black and white view of the law, it should have occurred to you that the law is very clear, American citizens cannot be deported, nor can they be detained without due process. Since the children have done nothing wrong they are not just sent with the parent. The cost of the Children will be upon the states they reside in, and this will break up families, it did under the Obama presidency. It will just be much much more noticeable now. There are over 5.3 american citizen children with illegal immigrant parents. The foster care system is overloaded now with less than a million, wait till they enter it! Not that you care, you who only deals in “Facts” and “Logic” could not possibly have missed this due to ignorance.

  • I for one would not mind paying a little more for my produce to end the exploitation of illegal alien workers.

Good for you sport. Too bad it is going to be more than a little though. Its estimated that 60–70% of dairy workers are illegal immigrants, and without them, a gallon of milk would be about $10, same for a pound of butter. Dairy prices will be 2–3 times higher. Produce will face shortages since we have already seen that happen when Georgia cracked down and over 140 million in produce rotted in the fields. They tried using prison labor but that failed too. Alabama is now facing the same issue. Simple reality check, our farming industry is wrongly built upon illegal immigration. Even if the farm can afford to pay the $15–20 needed to hire local help, the people do not have the skills needed, and are unable to perform the backbreaking labor. They are also unable to move with the seasons for the different farming areas that need that labor. Its a broken system, this is not going to fix it. It will create food shortages though, and continue to put farms out of business since too many here in America are too fat, too lazy, or too unskilled to produce the food we need. There is no plan to fix THAT. So yeah, a little more is not what it will cost. It is going to cost a LOT more. Since everyone is hung up on deportation without even thinking about how to fix the broken system.

  • An idea I talked about over 15 years ago was send the illegals back but then start a sponsored guest worker program and get them to pay taxes.

There is a guest worker program, the paperwork is rather cumbersome and costly for the farmers. If they streamlined it that may actually help, but you know damn well they won’t.

Its funny watching you try to pin all issues with hiring illegals as a liberal or democrat issue. Especially since its not, and people of all political affiliations do it. Keep hammering away them with your snowflake insult too, and remember, too many snowflakes creates an avalanche.
