Prisoners SHOULD WORK to pay their debt to society and pay for the food & housing they get out of our tax dollars while incarcerated.  Maybe some would figure out what it is to work for a living. They’d be less likely to spend time whining about watching TV at least!

Its amazing how long we’ve allowed illegal aliens to flood across our borders, take away jobs that, BEFORE illegals got her American’s took, & we did just fine. American teens worked the fields during harvesting seasons to make money to support their activities during the summer months.. The Construction of homes, & buildings, did have any shortages of help either. However… However.. After the last illegal alien amnesty wave of the hand back in the early 80′s, the flood gates opened on our borders, & illegals came by the millions… Jobs started to be given to them because they’d (illegals) would work for pennies on the dollar compared to what (say) a summer high school student working in the fields, and we don’t even need to talk about the construction industry, & how many jobs illegals get over legal US born, & or immigrant Americans because they’ll work cheap. I might also add thats why the quality of products made in America are of poor quality where Companies hire more illegals, then Americans here legally (I know if 2 in Darien WI.), & trained/ certified to weld (in these 2 situations). It started slowly, & over the last 27 or so years, illegals have run the show (So to speak) because they have been left unchecked. Its crap that, “If they aren’t here they sky will fall”.. It may take some retraining of brains of American’ts, back into American’s. We should NOT be dependent on illegal aliens here. Obama shouldn’t be going behind American’s backs to give these people Amnesty AGAIN. 3 times over history that I’m aware of, they’re given amnesty. Each time our Government gives us the low-ball  number on how many illegals will benefit from the amnesty. We are the only open door country that rewards illegal immigrants for breaking our immigration laws. Try getting caught in Mexico as an illegal there. We’ve become a “House divided” over so many important issues facing America today, & this is one of them. “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.”.. Jesus Christ” and then we had Abe Lincoln say “A house divided against itself can not stand”. This is a Country now where we can not long have open debates with-out name calling, & other childish antics (i.e. fist fights, throwing things). Having open debates about touchy topics use to be “American”. Now if we disagree, we’re put on some list of possible terrorists, or labeled with a title as Hitler did to separate his followers from his threats. The Romans & Greeks, after Jesus was murdered, labeled Jesus’s followers as “Christians” so they could separate them into a group of wanted criminals to be rounded up & crucified, imprisoned, beheaded, etc.

As American’s, we better come together or we are doomed. I’m not saying that lightly. I’m not predicting something, I’m just reading the road map & the road were on ends with us falling off the cliff. Am I worried about it though?.. Nope.. In the case of the Illegals, its part of the road map, & they (illegals) are working for the few, whos needs outweigh the needs of the many. Wow.. That almost sounded Star Warish.. lol

Your history is absurd.  The US has always had a large pool of immigrants to do our dirty work that us ‘natives’ refuse to do.  The Irish, Italians, blacks (slave & free), eastern & Mediterraneans, Chinese, etc –this list can go on and it spans our entire national history, have built this country.  We’ve never had an economy where we relied on our ‘teenagers’ to keep our economy afloat.  Your ‘sky-is-falling’ rhetoric against ‘illegals’ is an ancient and thoroughly debunked argument.  The fact that you quote Jesus Christ is laughable –Jesus would never debase himself by disparaging destitute people who committed the heinous crime of crossing an imaginary line with out some bureaucrat’s permission.  You continued to exhibit your ignorance by implying that it was due to ‘amnesty’ that cause the large influx of undocumented laborers during the 80s.  Actually, ‘amnesty’ has nothing to do with immigration, rather it is due to market demand (as usual economics is suspended in most of these debates).  So, for example, if you look at the immigration trends, whenever there is an economic recession you’ll see a sharp decrease in immigration to the US (during the Great Depression there was virtually no immigration to the U.S).  This trend exist because immigration is entirely governed by our markets and economic forces –having very little to do with government policy.  So, again for added emphasis, ever since the Great Recession of 2008 began the immigration trend has (predictably) sharply decreased to it lowest levels in decades.  Every gov’t immigration bureau is taking credit for this, which grants the false impression that strong gov’t border enforcement actually reduced the immigration trends –this, of course, is a joke.  Those who study economics know that immigration is a byproduct of economic reality and absolutely necessary to a thriving economy.  Look at the recently reports of the results of Alabama’s draconian illegal immigration crack down –billions of dollars lost and an Agriculture industry begging for workers that no one wants to work!  How’s this for nostalgia, forget your mythological teenagers –how about we allow employers to determine who their employees again –that was called the Freedom of Contract.  The last time we had that we experienced the greatest level of prosperity in human history called the Industrial Revolution.  How about that?
