@TheCobbler,
Quote:And what do you think our republican child rapists and republican tax evaders who flee to Mexico to circumvent US law cost the Mexican tax payers each year?
Your choice of names is funny considering who resides on your side of the aisle and who has been caught more often in such positions. I don't think any party holds the high ground on this subject.
I'm not sure going to Mexico is the best way to avoid paying taxes and I don't think you can prove such a thing is a real problem. Considering US companies move companies down there and hire locals, I'm sure they add much more the economy then you think they are costing the Mexican govt. You should really look to your buddy Bill Clinton and NAFTA for some of those answers.
Quote:What do you think our guns stores littered across the Mexican border cost the Mexican people each year in death tolls?
You should ask Holder and Obama about that one, considering they were in charge of "Fast and Furious".
The violence in Mexico has nothing to do with US guns and everything to do with the weak Mexican govt and drug cartels. How many US citizens are killed along the border thanks the drug cartels? You want to leave those people defenseless against monsters with your stupid gun bans.
Quote:What do you think our corrupt unscrupulous business people like Trump who build their sweat shops in Mexico cost the workers there in their livelihood?
Once again, I will point you to Bill Clinton and NAFTA. You should be more upset about US citizens losing jobs to them moving south, instead you are upset about people south of the border not getting paid enough. For them I'm sure it's a boon, they are getting jobs that wouldn't be available to them if it weren't for those "greedy" business owners.
Quote:What do you think our agriculture farms that US businesses operate in Mexico
I'm pretty sure they employ more people from Mexico here in the US then they do there.
Quote:cost the Mexican people when they don't even pay them close to a living wage
A living wage according to US standards or Mexico standards.
Quote:provide water for them to drink while they work?
Have you ever worked a manual job like that? I was a carpenter back in the mid to late 90's in San Diego and I can tell you not one single employer provided water on the job, you bought your own jug or bought some from the roach coach when it showed up twice a day. Just like tools and a lunch, it is your responsibility to provide water and even a ride to work as no employer provides you with either of those. Working in an office has made you soft and entitled.

Do you have anything to provide as proof that this is happening?
Quote:All so you can feed your glutenous face with an avocado on your salad.
You makes these things so personal. Avocado on salad is ok, but I prefer them on a burger with bacon or as guacamole for my awesome chicken fajitas.
If you must know, I buy most of my veggies from a local farmers market, it still has the dirt on it, but during the winter I go to King Soopers and buy my veggies from them. Not sure how many veggies from Mexico are making their way to King Soopers here in CO, they have a thing for sourcing from local growers.

You are all fine with this military parade though?
To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about the parade. I'll say this, as a vet that event is going to be one giant pain in the ass for those involved. One thing we hated was the Brass showing up and causing us to put on a "dog and pony show". Now I've been in plenty of parades, to include the Chicago St. Patty's day parade, four times with my old military school SJMA, and they can suck.
Quote:And wouldn't you complain if you had to pay ten dollars for a head of lettuce or five dollars for a tomato...
That won't happen, the growers will automate before it gets that far. I'm surprised a majority of them don't use some sort of machines now to pick our foods, it would save them a lot of money in labor costs and maybe even drop the cost of veggies.
Quote:Two wrongs don't make a right, the presence of immigrants picking our lettuce for pennies doesn't make wasteful military parade necessary.
As I noted above, we should automate those picking jobs and be done with "needing" illegal immigrants to be pickers.
Quote:So it has nothing to do with saving taxpayers money it has to to with you condoning racism... So white people can bulge their military muscle built on the backs of dark skinned immigrants...
Wow, that is quite the leap isn't it. You really need to get a new gig, this continued push of racism against people is really getting tired. It's just as bad as Hillary saying educated white women didn't vote for her because their husbands and bosses told them not to. It's a weak argument that shows a lack of thinking on your part.
When it comes to spending on the military vs spending on illegal immigrants, I will choose spending on the military 100% of the time, one is a group of US citizens defending our nation, the other are not US citizens. Easy choice every time.
