"Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.

Originally posted by seer View PostI think the best thing for the poor is a decent paying job. Too bad many of the illegals are taking entry level jobs and lowering the pay scale.

Illegals have taken all those jobs, and most construction jobs in my area. They are willing to work for less than minimum wage, and do. So you leftists don't care about our poor and never did, they are political pawns to you.
Sick people are also notoriously bad at pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps. Meanwhile, the US spends 15% of its GDP on healthcare that doesn't even provide poor people with a means to get better so that they can, shock horror, work. The NHS in the UK costs around 8% of GDP.
The US has a lot of problems before illegal immigrants are even considered as a cause.

Originally posted by JimL View PostSo you agree that Trump should enforce the law against hiring undocumented workers, correct? That would go a lot further to stem the tide of aliens illegally entering the country than pretending to build a two thousand mile wall that Mexico is going to pay for.
He should also invest our money into helping those countries instead of revoking financial aid as he has done which is one other reason that the problem has ballooned under his administration.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, we know it has to do with greed at the top and the GOP whom they payoff. You are against the 15 dollar minimum wage which democrats are pushing and you use the greedy corporate GOP backed talking points to defend against it. If undocumented workers are suppressing wages it's only because of corporate greed at the top. Or are you suggesting that if not for undocumented workers the roofer your son once worked for $25 an hour would go out of business.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
