Reply #29: The enemy here is not the militia groups patrolling the borders. [View All]

This country was built around cheap labor. Our economy will collapse without illegal labor. If you want to highlight a hypocrisy, that's not the one we should start with.

The colonists, came here from Europe with their slaves. The North had brutal discipline, and cheap labor through wage slavery from company stores, debtors workhouses, and child labor. The South had outright slavery working in the fields and cotton gins. And yes, the same Mexicans that are coming here to pick our fruit, and mow our yards here illegally are descendants of the same Spaniards that conquered, and slaughtered the indigenous people in Mexico. and Central America, and forced them into slavery working in the gold mines, and producing cocoa for shipment back to Spain.

The enemy here are the multinational corps, that are doing the same thing they have always done in the past; exploit the cheapest labor base that they can find. While everyone is distracted and arguing over a couple hundred yahoos who are "patrolling our borders", how many jobs today have been outsourced to cheap labor pools on distant shores?

We are arguing about the wrong stuff people...
