Still trying to think of a single thing made only in Mexico that I can’t live without... drawing a complete blank, so I say shut it down and let the chips fall where they may

But I thought we only got taco stands and Spring Break access to Tijuana brothels from Mexicans, plus the runs because beans are so alien.

Two places closest to me are actually Chinese pretending to make it, so no thanks.
There is a fancy-ish Mexican Mexican one also, but I've yet to try it as I fear they may have diluted the authenticity of it...

As I said, none of those things are made solely in Mexico, none are on my radar as to “I have to have that” so my original post still holds

So car parts and pills are more important than curbing drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and violent criminals from just walking across unvetted?

If it gets the point across, then I agree wholeheartedly. I think Mexico would be hurt more in that scenario.

People who actually work in national security are frantically trying to keep Trump from destroying everything the US has built since WWII.

Mexico is not a priority to them.

Not just avocados. https://www.ustradenumbers.com/country/mexico/
And, why should the border be closed. Illegal immigration is going down and they dont commit crime higher than native born citizens. It is a demagogue issue to throw hate and blame illegals like jews were blamed by hitler. (Not saying trump is hitler, many politicians do this. Democrats do it with the rich)
Robots are taking jobs not illegals

The point is they commit crimes. Eliminate the criminals coming across the border and you lower the crime rate overall. How is this difficult to understand for some people? The way you make it sound, just because they don't commit as many crimes as legal citizens, we should just let them in.

Also, once they step on American soil illegally, they're automatically committing a crime.

Yeah. That is 100% true. When people make this sound so bad, it has been going down since Bush. It isnt a crisis now.
I agree with border security. Trumps villainization of them has made it a partisan issue. Obama was strict on illegals. A wall may not be the most effective, but I think we should have fencing.
They arent the reason the some Americans are poor. They dont take our welfare to a degree that they are the root of as many problems as people may make them seem.

Funny, you must be an "expert" because former Obama Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said during an interview with MSNBC this week. : "On Tuesday there were 4,000 apprehensions. I know that 1,000 overwhelms the system. I can’t imagine what 4,000 a day looks like. So, we are truly in a crisis,”

Dude...they have taken over the housing construction industry. They start their own business hire illegals, and undercut all the legitimate businesses. Since they don't pay taxes, they can afford to work dirt cheap. They're a nightmare for small businesses that play by the rules and then go under because they can't afford to do the work builders are asking them to do.

They work f**king hard dirt cheap atleast acknowledge that. They pay payroll.
I do agree that they hurt small businesses, but economically, they are very important. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/illegal-immigrants-us-jobs-economy-farm-workers-taxes/ I forgot which state, think it was in the Midwest, went strict on illegal farmers. Then, nobody would work for the farms so they had to get rid of the law because the farms could run. They do work we wont.

The only reason they work so hard for cheap is because, as an illegal immigrant, they have no grounds to demand better pay and working conditions.

The reason nobody would work on the farms is because of the hard work and low pay. Pay a high enough wage and Americans will gladly work on the farms. Of course our food prices would go up. Also, all farmers would need to pay market wages but too many of them undercut the job market by hiring illegals who are being exploited by employers taking advantage of their circumstances.

The thing is that when illegals are taken away, people still wont work even for higher prices. You have to go to a farm in California and pick oranges 24/7. What American would do that? Then again you do make some sense. That was like coal mining work.

An able body, unemployed American without welfare would do it. Why do you think Mexicans are willing to do it?

The American farmer has been on welfare since the Dust Bowl. Farming subsidies are why Americans are so fat and lazy. Even having nothing to do but driving the tractor around at mudding events and telling Juanita to give you head or you give her to La Migra while you cash that gov't check isn't enough to prevent Farmer Ted Jr and Becky Sue from selling the farm to corporate farmers or to real estate developers. Air conditioned cubicles where you can piddle your day away on FB yapping about illegals snatching jobs is the way to go.

Half of the farms receiving Federal Gov't subsidies have a household income of $150,000 or higher- hardly poor - so that's $10 billion additional in their pockets. The 10 richest farms have recieved $1.8million or more ANNUALLY for the last 10 years.

FUN FACT: Your home, the USSR, was kept alive by the USA which supplied 70% of the grain it consumed per year, subsidized, no less. Yes, we sold you guys wheat at BELOW market costs.

Still haven’t sobered up I see.
USSR? Government subsidies? farmer income?
What does any of this have to do with illegal immigrants working on farms?

And that, Vlady, is something no one can sober up from.

Funny that you would say that, seeing as Trp overruled his own Security and granted Clarence to 25 people who were deemed ill fit for their jobs. But sure, insult melenials or whatever it is you call that Generation.
