how the hell can taking money out a country make it better?
if money stays in the US its spent in the US.. if it leaves and is spent in mexico it makes mexico stronger

Overseer just gave a simple economics lesson. When money is made and spent within it's own country, its economy gets stronger. Equilibrium, bitches.
Smoke Break:
I swear there's a program to send retarded mexicans over the border, nothing about this involves race and yet that's the only argument people have. "They don't want us here cause we're brown!" "White people did it too!" "These Gringos are racist!" I'm all for latino pride, but it's a non-factor in all this.
I was watching the rallies yesterday and people are still treating this like it's an attack on latinos, but at least it wasn't as bad as last year.
It's fucked up cause I end up sounding like a redneck but it just doesn't add up for me.

I don't think there are that many. You got any numbers?

LOL. You are obviously unaware of how much of the border is unfit for crossing even without walls.

According to the last Census, the latino population is 14.4%. I'm sure the Military will have similar numbers. Obviously if we're strictly going by Mexicans it's going to be lower, but I'm sure Real American's true beef is with illegal immigration in general so I'm sure when he says they are too many he's really referring to latinos in general.

MOST LATINOS KEEP THE MONEY OVER HERE AND WHEN THEY DO SEND MONEY TO MEXICO IT AINT MUCH.
U ALSO GOT TO REMEMBER THAT WE PAY TAXES, WE PURCHASE THINGS HERE.
--- Quote ---AND WHUT IS MAKING THE U.S. ECONOMY STRONGER IS THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS MAKE LESSSS THEN THE MINIMUM WAGE. EMPLOYERS ARE PAYING THEM LESS THEN THEY WOULD A AMERICAN SO THE U.S. ECONOMY KEEPS MORE MONEY.
SO IMMIGRANTS ARE HELPING THE U.S. ECONOMY.
AND NOBODY HAS ARGUED WIT ME ABOUT THIS THAT I SAID EARLIER:
Theres been illegal immigrants since the start of America.
It IS NOT making the economy worse. If anything its making it better.
PEOPLE WERE SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT THE IRISH WHEN THEY CAME TO THE US BECAUSE OF THEIR POTATO CROP FAILED.
IT WAS DURING THE 1800'S WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING AND IT WASNT JUST A COUPLE OF IRISH THAT CAME IT WAS MILLIONS OF THEM.
ONE THING i dont get is that, they say that immigrants are taking american jobs, but when it comes to the military nobody says anything. THE FIRST MARINE TO DIE IN IRAQ WASNT EVEN AN AMERICAN. HE WAS FROM GUATEMALA.
THERE ARE 32,000 "Green card Soldiers" fighting the "war on terror". NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.
--- End quote ---
HOW COME NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT TAKING THESE 32,000 IMMIGRANT SOLDIERS OUT OF THE WAR IN IRAQ.
virtuoso:
This we we thing is bullshit, as is your constant desire to write in caps, you are not an illegal immigrant therefore why would you defend illegal immigrants? You are also wrong in your assertions that not a lot of money is sent back by illegals, it is a massive figure, I will do some more research before I actually approximate a figure. As for what you mentioned about the U.S army I have read that there is a sizeable contingent of illegal immigrants fighting in the U.S army, which can not be a good thing at all because it means you have foreign mercenaries in the forces.
