^^ Yes, it has long been known that a great deal of our economy ironically benefits from undocumented workers. Stupid neo-conservatives.
I guess now the white supremacists can't complain the jobs they don't want to work anyway are being taken from them.

Rons not a neocon, he's a magat. Neocons knew that their only hope was immigrants - not just economically, demographically - shore up their cratering domestic numbers as a party. Bush the younger ran on it, marco rubio was groomed for it. You see how that went over with the base.
At any rate, you should never forget that the people complaining are not honest employers. They can't find anyone to work for what they pay because the only people who would are those with no legal recourse. They literally bank on it.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

First of all, I would like to say that I've missed you all. Secondly, I use to get seriously spooked out when I felt like a website was being augmented for my "viewing pleasure." How rad is it that this quantum computer, who I refer to as God's spread eagle pose, can whip up anything anywhere for any specific persons purpose. And the ways that I know that is true for everyone but the ways I love it because I'm the only one who its happening THAT way to. So speak of the devil

It won’t be easy to recover from this, even if the legislature repeals this fascist law, what immigrant is going to risk returning when there are plenty of worker starved farms and construction sites welcoming them with open arms in somewhat more comfortable climates like Georgia and Alabama. Hell, we’re even getting some of the overflow here in Colorado where farmers and construction sites are practically rolling out the welcome mats. As they say, once bitten twice shy. Nobody’s going to go back to Florida after this, at least not as long as right wing lunatics and Nazi sympathizers are running the show.

Georgia learned this lesson the hard way; but far be it for Florida to learn something from another state.

A judge unseals emails sent by Donald Trump’s son Trump Jr. in which he launches racist attacks against Mexicans and Black New Yorkers.
In an email to one one of his best friends, Trump Jr. wrote that his friend should “Encourage the Mexicans to come to the US and give them another excuse to not learn English. When I have to speak to my grandchildren in Spanish, at least I know I will have you to thank.”
Trump Jr.‘s friend responded, saying that he was going to send his son down to the border with guns in order to “stop this wetback issue dead in its tracks.”
In another email exchange, Trump Jr. attacked Black New Yorkers, declaring that upper Manhattan had so many Black residents now that it “looks like Harlem,” and that he “can hear the theme song of the Jeffersons playing in the background.”
The friend was a groomsman at Trump Jr.’s wedding to his former wife — and the lawsuit involves him and his former employer.
The friend is trying to keep more emails from being unsealed by the judge, telling the judge that they will cause Trump Jr. “reputational harm.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Most likely that is true; I just wanted to be sure people knew I wasn't just deleting posts out of boredom. Didn't think the same thing needed to be said five times.
