    A major part of American history are immigrants coming in and doing the hard jobs in the places most folks don't want to live.

    I think we make too much of a deal about illegal vs legal as the main issue is poor policy.

    And yet the GOP Congress isn't reforming immigration as they don't seem to be interested in actual governance.

    The border is now secure. It didn’t take legislation to do it. It took a new President.


    GOOD DAY

    It's not close they are a net positive, both financially and culturally.

    Why do you try to be so funny so hard and fail?

    Like I see it dude. It's like you are trying to resurect a childhood dream of being a comedian.

    If I were to give you advice on being funny, having empathy skills really helps with being a good comedian. Understanding where other people come from usually is high level trait of our best comedians.

    That's why entities like Babylon Bee fail so hard at trying to be funny.

    The comedians who get away with saying edgy stuff are the ones who are empathetic.

    I didn't think you would take it so seriously, I'm just saying that before he shot Miklo he should have waited for evidence in the court of law that showed that Miklo was indeed a vato loco from La Onda..... He could have found that bag of money anywhere and it does not mean he stole it.

    Now because its a movie and we get to see Miklo actually take over La Onda and commit crimes I'm neither against nor for him getting shot.... However even Miklo does not want invaders in his house..... Go figure...

    My mom got her purse snatched at Costco on 290 yesterday by an illegal Venezuelan...he was able to use her stolen credit cards before she locked them to buy more than $2k worth of electronics and gas from Walmart, so I guess that spending is a net good for the economy right??

    The cops were able to identify him from surveillance, he had been arrested before.

    Notice how his first instinct was to question the guy's illegal status vs. asking if my mom was ok....typical. Screw the victims, the suspect better damn well be protected.

    Relax bro
    She had her purse stolen. If something worse would've happened I'm sure you would have said it.

    It was a legitimate question

    Edit: I wasn't questioning his status I was questioning how you knew all that in a day. No offense it wasn't a major crime but I didn't connect your mother would know immediately and go to store security before leaving
