  1. I can’t be the only one excited for tomorrow’s fight? Biggest fight of Joshua’s career imo. Klitschko was a huge fight but he was 40+ at that point. Usyk, although not a natural heavyweight, is a fantastic boxer. He’s got good movement, lands a lot of scoring punches, and can get some power in combinations. He’s also bulked all the way up to 220lbs. Can’t wait but I’ll take Joshua for a late fight KO.

    Cool, cool.  So, on the "come in legally like many that have before them" - you want to hold immigrants to the same standards as before.  Willing to apply the same rules?  Because you're gonna shit when you realize how easy it has been at various times for brown people to move freely back and forth across our border.

    And I ALWAYS love the "we should focus on our homegrown problems first!" trope.  Cool, so let's improve our financial and practical commitment to education -- what's that, that's commie socialism?  Huh.  What about if we improve housing?  What, that's more commie socialism?  Nobody who says what you say actually wants to "focus on our homegrown problems."  To the point that you should be embarrassed to trot out that bullshit.

    Why would he be embarrassed? The cruelty is the point example 8653

    most of the negative impacts are far more harmful for the immigrant family than the rest of us, and that's to what i was referring. we have guys like fatty paying an undocumented worker in cash with no sense of hypocrisy or irony. we've driven them underground and artificially lowered the cost of doing a good job because they have no means to appeal it, or they risk deportment.

    it's actually fucking tragic.

    Ah I get your point now and it’s exactly right. 
    I guess I need to stop being surprised by the abject hypocrisy of these people

    if you take a close look at it, most of the negative impacts of immigration are entirely self-inflicted by the way we've structured everything.

    damn near every place has a "we're hiring" sign out right now. and we got all these people wanting to come here and work.

    i dunno, let em in, give em a green card and get them into the system with a path to citizenship.

    i never understood the unnecessary artificial barriers we put in place for immigrants. 

    Most of the “negative impacts” are not supported by fact.

    also, as an employer, paying people under the table isn't exactly...legal. it's really amazing that he decries the very thing that he's taking advantage of. the fact that he doesn't see that or simply doesn't care is incredible.

    "undocumented workers shouldn't be here, but if they are pay them in cash!"

    we should let the haitians in. this is what i never understand about the refugee "hordes."

    my stance has always kind of been "you know, why don't we let them in?"

    Seriously I would love for someone to list some negative impacts of immigration

    No one gets hurt in prison ever. It’s a pleasant place. Much safer than being around someone with Covid. 

    No one claimed that people don’t get hurt in prison. 
    You set this hypothetical up. Who is that prisoner in this hypothetical currently harming?

    I’m not the one arguing that a murderer who has been arrested is no longer harming anyone and deserves to live yet a Covid patient in the hospital is such a danger that we should root for them to die. 

    Who is the imprisoned murderer still harming? Seems like you skipped that step

    I have no problem with immigrants. But maybe we can mix in some fucking doctors and lawyer immigrants? There’s 10 lawn and maid crews in my neighborhood everyday, think we’ve got that covered.  

    America.  Will bulldoze (literally for you voters in Austin) our own poor to make room for more poor.    

    13% of undocumented workers hold “white collar” jobs. I’m sure you can think of some reasons why that number isn’t higher.

    Let’s live in your fairytale world that they all do, and you’ve got all the facts.  Net benefit to our tax, school, and healthcare system or no. 

    I’m sure some research would yield you some answers. Or you can continue posting your uninformed nonsense. They pay billions of dollars into government programs that they will never be eligible to use. Now do the same for the wealthy in this country.

    I’m under the impression the ones that I pay only take cash, which I’m sure they paying their income tax on.  They just want cash for…reasons. 

    So you continue to do the anecdotal thing instead of looking at the data which show that 50-75% of undocumented immigrants pay local, state, and federal taxes. They also have to buy things which means they pay taxes.
