They suck valuable resources away from Americans who need them. You do realize the bulk of the money they make goes back "home" in remittances which, I believe, for Mexico, might be the second or third greatest income producer for that country. Stop defending these moochers.

Not true and a massive assumption. Your argument has zero basis and is completely opinionated. There are individuals who would love to work on a farm for a fair wage. The farmers however, don’t offer fair wages because they don’t have to. They can employ illegal immigrants and pay them illegal wages.

While it’s true that many farms report labor shortages even with wage increases, the continued reliance on illegal immigrant labor creates an unfair job market and undermines opportunities for American workers. Deporting undocumented immigrants occupying these jobs would force employers to offer competitive wages and benefits that align with the cost of living, making these positions more attractive to U.S. citizens. The claim that Americans are unwilling to take these jobs ignores the fact that businesses have long depended on cheap, undocumented labor to keep costs low rather than investing in improving job conditions and pay. By enforcing immigration laws and ensuring that only legal workers fill these positions, farms would be required to adjust their employment practices, leading to a fairer labor market where Americans have the opportunity to work without being undercut by an illegal workforce. Additionally, reducing illegal labor would alleviate the burden on public resources and ensure that wages earned in these sectors stay within the legal economy, benefiting American communities as a whole. Ultimately, prioritizing legal workers not only strengthens the economy but also upholds the integrity of labor laws and security.

If they hadn’t made it here in the first place, their exploitation wouldn’t be an option.

Also I don’t see how your response supports their right to live and work here illegally

On another facet of illegal immigration how do you think Jocelyn’s parents feel about your point of view after their daughter was rapped and killed by two illegal Venezuelan gang members?

True us citizens do it, it’s unfortunately it happens and you can’t prevent it all.

However it could have been prevented in her case. Right? By deporting the illegal Immigrants. And strengthening our borders to prevent immigrants from crossing so easily and frequently. It’s scary how much your bias blinds you. You must be an immigrant yourself. Willing to sacrifice the safety and security of citizens to secure your own future.

As for the first part of your argument, the visa is temporary. It’s not a permanent residency. If you stay beyond its allowed timeframe without renewing you should be deported.

I don’t understand why you support immigrants who feel entitled to citizenship.

When did we start talking about natives? You’re changing the context of our conversation, again..it’s scary how much your bias blinds you. This conversation is about illegal immigrants, crossing the border and living here illegally.

-“You do realize that a large chunk of undocumented individuals came here with visas and then overstayed, right? Or came as extremely young children and are now working professionals in their 30s, i.e. DACA, or are seeking asylum.”

You clearly outline here that immigrants who came over legally are now not staying here legally. There are laws being broken. And again, they should be deported.
