The ones that come here illegaly usually are here for just that reason....to work and support their families. Should they be entering the country legally......absolutely.

These are usually the ones that are here Legally...and US Citizens....they are the ones that are lazy and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g on the government teat.

These are 2 seperate problems and if they want to fix both of them they need to treat them that way....if they lump them together it will just go on and on and on and on............

Well of course. How are "income eligible" people going to make their drug deals without a cell phone?

Yes, to a great extent, I agree with you. Although there are also the illegals that do come here for the handouts. But the legals who you speak of that suck on the big teat are the descendents of immigrants who came here for the original American dream of freedom to work for their quality of life. Their children, that they worked hard to educate, learned in our school systems and our mainstream media that they and other minorities were oppressed, and this oppression was the cause of poverty and all its ills. And the way to defeat that was to vote for those who would help rather than oppress. They learned about the compassion of liberalism, and the promise of the party that would eliminate poverty, not by the hard work of their parents, but by government fiat. By government largesse. They were seduced by that promise and helped to spread the message of that dream. And it became easier for their generation and their children, in times of dire need, to suck on the teat than to suck it up, and that dream expanded into the underclass nightmare of a generational underclass society constantly looking to the teat for survival and by that necessity, perpetually voting to sustain it.

As is the major issue of the United States' Open-Door Policy on immigration.

What this country needs to do is restrict all immigration (and working Visas) to those people that will actually benefit society. This country needs to get out of the business of making everyone feel good, and back into the business of getting our heads above the water.

You have a Master's Degree and are already set up with a job? Welcome to America!

You're 35 years old, don't have a secondary education nor any technical training skills? Goodbye!

I'm 90% onboard with this.....But I don't feel they need to come here all trained and ready to go.....If they want to come here....willing to work for what they get I'm OK with that....If that means janitor by night and schooling during the day......so be it.

Just come here and plan on working for your dream.

Schools are already over populated and prices for a BA or advanced decree are increasing at an exponential rate.

No immigrant janitor will be making enough money to put themselves through school. So, they stop attending school because they can't afford it, or petition for one of the dozens of programs that will pay to put them through school.

These are people you might dub as "potential contributors to society". As I tell my sales people, you can't run a business on potential customers.

This country is like one big Charity Foundation. Let's get the homeless veterans and homeless children that already live here taken care of first, before we open the door to more people needing handouts.

Agree JD, but at this point how do we do it?

Didn't say the guy had to go to Harvard Law School.....He could go to a trade school or take a course @ ITT Tech for all I care...as long as he comes here, Works, and pays his taxes I'd be happy to sit down and have a beer with the guy.

Instead of always looking at the worst case scenario....which of course will happen....how about looking at the best case scenario....where the guy actually does work hard and puts his kids though school and eventually get his own house.....That happens too you know

Every Kid born in America is a Potential Contributor to Society. Until they stop Crapping their diaper or Raiding the refrigerator and enter the work force they really don't contribute do they?

Do you tell your Sales guys to ignore folks without giving them a chance to make a purchase? Or do you tell them to look at every opportunity that is presented as a Sales Opportunity

Whats weird is I agree with this statement......I'm not saying that every dipchit that wants to come here should be allowed to stay....if they are here legally w/ a work visa you can see if they are productive....and they are welcome to stay....if not, See Ya.....Don't let the door knob hit ya where the good lord split ya.

The best case scenario is not the statistically most probable scenario. I own a small business. I know how much hard work it can be, how much feeder money they can take, how considerably unanticipated expenses can add up in a flash. Serial Entrepreneurs often fail more than they succeed (but when they succeed, they do so very big).

Nope. As I'm sure you've read in some of my other posts, if they don't grow up, get a job and contribute to society, then they shouldn't benefit from it either with a free paycheck/health care to sit on the couch.

Apples to Oranges. But, bringing this up provides a convenient analogy for my point. We run about a 10-15% successful sales rate on potential customers. Most phone calls, RFPs, site inspections and meetings are at a loss because we never see a cent of business from that person. However, the sales we do make, pay out very well at a high margin.

Quite exactly like a statistical sample of Start-ups. Most Fail - plain and simple. The ones that don't, tend to pay out dividends well (be it to provide a better quality of life, more money in the pocket, or just financial security).

Thanks to the US open-door policy, there is no way for INS to keep track of all these people. If a VISA expires, the only way that person gets deported, is if they somehow fall across the system - they try to fly, get arrested, (or as a personal friend did) took a bus to visit family in Canada without renewing their work VISA and get denied re-entry.

They can also work for somebody else...they don't need to neccesarily start their own business. They can be electricians, plumbers, carpenters, roofer, landscapers....and work for somebody else....and do so legally and pay their share of taxes

Nothing wrong their...I agree with that

Also helps illustrate my point....you still don't ignore the other 85-90% until they don't pan out.....you allow it the chance turn into a sale...if it doesn't then you drop it

And there in lies where the Fixing needs to come in...thats the part of the system that is screwed up and causing the problems. I said earlier I didn't want an open door policy...they need to come here legally through a System that actually works

I agree 100%. My girlfriend did it while raising 2 kids. It's called the American Dream and it's still there( for now) for those that are willing to work for it. No excuses

Interesting though how some immigrants work menial jobs, or sleep 10 to an apartment until they raise the capital for a convenience store, motel or restaurant, and then within one generation their children enter the professional class.

People from other countries see opportunity that many native Americans don't - or look down upon as beneath us. The top three ways Americans acquire wealth are: inheritance, business ownership, a distant third is working in a well-paying field. Yet our culture only really respects professionals.

But if you've been sewing shirts in Ecuador for thirteen hours a day for $5 a day, then working twelve hours a day in a bodega and sleeping upstairs with a full stomach, tax-free money in your pocket, a high speed internet connection, cable television and a window air conditioner - is paradise.

Unfortunately, this is not the case for most. Considering that 95% of small businesses fail (and a higher rate for restaurants), that's not a good outlook for the immigrants that come here with hopes of the American dream.

For every CNN headlined story about someone who came to the states and accomplished "The American Dream", I'd be willing to bet money there are more than a thousand more that came to this country with the same hopes and failed. As such, it is not in the United State's best interest to allow these people to come here.

This isn't the early 1900s where enough money for a steamship ride to America, combined with hard work, yields a good chance to solidify a better, self-sustaining life for you and your family. We have shifted away from a country with a strong factory and manufacturing job base, to one that is significantly service based with jobs that require specialized skills and experience in order to make similarly waged jobs.

And to make it even more difficult to achieve the so-called "American Dream"...
Today's Bachelor Degree, is yesteryear's High School Diploma.

I can fully agree with this.

The whole English language in the US subject is one of the few issues in this country that actually angers me quite considerably. Don't know why, but everyone has their few triggers, and that is one of mine. I'm not going to get started aside from saying that it'll never happen because we want everyone to feel good and welcomed in this state. Make sure to Press 1 for English.
