See now that whole if you been here for 5 years, you can stay thing kinda made me upset considering our job market still sucks. We need to stop thinking about everyone else and focus on ourselves first. Same with Mit , only his was worse. I forgot what he said about illegal immigrants but he said he basically doesn't care.
suppose you were brought here as a 3 year old child, lived here your whole life, considered yourself american through and through, only to find out once you apply for a job that you are an illegal immigrant.
now consider what types of jobs our immigrant workforce does: the types of jobs that you can not force prisoners to do! seriously, the crops rotted in georgia last year because they had no one to harvest them after passing a draconian anti-immigration bill. they tried to bus in prisoners and others, but they all quit. the crops rotted.
wouldn't it be smarter to give work permits to those who want to do these jobs?
