Thread: US immigration crackdown heats up for border crossers and tech workers

You know when they said tech workers, I thought they were finally admitting that all the illegals aren't just making beds and mowing lawns as our politicians would like you to believe.

It has been some years - 10 or more, but the last illegal I met that was an admitted illegal, was armed with a degree. He wore designer jeans, tasseled loafers, had a styled hairdo and manicure. He was a computer guy for a large corporation.

Many are coming here armed with degrees, they aren't all poor peons, believe me.

Those are the visa-overstays, 45% of the illegal alien population in the US. People who came in on a visa, a tourist visa, a work visa, a student visa, and overstayed, that makes them illegal aliens, because they are illegally present in our country. They are to be deported the same, in fact quicker by the law because no deportation hearing is required, as border crosser or someone who sneaked into illegally.

He was not a visa overstayer. He already had a job, sans visa. He just walked across, hopped a bus.

He hadn't been here but about 2 months when I spoke with him.

Then if and when they catch him, he'll be detained for a deportation hearing. I wonder how many of those there are? Our kids don't have a chance. Their futures are so bleak and full of burdens.

Of course, that whole thing about illegals "only taking jobs that Americans don't want" has always been a big lie. I'm in the trades, and instead of hiring skilled tradesmen at a decent wage that enables us to support ourselves, these employers are now employing illegals to do the same work for a fraction of the price, and very poor quality work at that.

That is so true.

Some years ago, my son contracted for a new house to be built. He bought some land or rather he found the land, the homebuilder bought the land and it was to be included in the overall price of the home.

My son asked the builder to use some locals as he knew some of the electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc., but he said no he had his own crew.

The boss of this crew was Mexican - possibly illegal and all the workers were illegal.

My son was not in town during much of the building as he was working elsewhere. One day my husband went to check on things. He was still in his suit, and as he got out of the car, he reached in and pulled out a cap someone had given him - it was black with gold braid.

As he got out of the car, he shouted the word the illegals used to use in the valley when the BP spotter planes came over.

Every worker bolted and ran into the bushes - just disappeared. He truly didn't intend that, he thought they would laugh.

At any rate, the house was so poorly built, it was shameful. My son paid for an inspection when it was about 80% completed and the inspector said it would take at least $20K to just fix what he could see and he hadn't checked the plumbing and wiring.

There were holes in the corners, even after taping and bedding. There was a huge hole in the side of a bathroom cabinet, they had done, but still installed it. The sink was supposed to be under the window, but they had put the cabinets in wrong and the window in the wrong place. The windows were off by about an inch from top to bottom. There was only sub flooring, but they said it was ready for covering and there were large cracks in the sub flooring. It had a back deck, built up high as the house sat on a hill. It swayed from side to side and was unsafe to walk on - the railings wobbled. There were a lot of other things I can't remember.

It was a nightmare - my son refused to purchase he house, they threatened but really they didn't want to go there. There was another house in town sitting vacant for the same reason. It was sad as the land was a really pretty place.

I read about a housing development somewhere that had several houses just collapse.

And yet, these are the jobs that the media and liberals are trying to make us believe that Americans don't want. I guess we are just supposed to lay down and die so illegals can take these jobs and support themselves and THEIR families.

Yes, 6 Million Dollar Man, that is exactly what the forces behind illegal immigration want US to do, just lay down and die. They know that the only people who can and will stop this Globalism and One World Government are ... The Americans. It is US whom they want to bankrupt and impoverish, it is US whom they want to rid the planet of. When Trump said "Our country is in serious trouble", that is what he was talking about. It's not something you can speak of in public settings, it just what anyone with 2 live brain cells connected will see if they spend a little time analyzing all these Ironies and Opposites.
