Which is weird because for my son to get his learners permit, he has to bring several forms of identification. I guess it's easier for adults with different immigration status situations.

You might be surprised just how many people are driving trucks without a license of any kind.

There are no "two sides of the story" for me. You say he "appreciated the opportunity." He's flaunting OUR laws and he's taking a job away from a citizen. You want to become an American...follow the rules and the law. Boom...spoken like a true patriot and an American! My wife had to do it the "LEGAL" way and I expect everyone that comes across our borders to do the same. No eff'n exception. In a little bit under 12 months my DIL will be taking her citizenship test. She came to the United States the correct way and can't understand why our government gives a penny to the illegals. She worked for an American company when she lived across the big pond so she already had a job when she stepped off of the airplane. It was her dream since grade school to move to the US. She entered the Diversity Visa Program and won one of the coveted Green Cards. All I can say is she is one American loving individual.

Soooooo.... wonder how many of the guys busting Booskay's balls about hiring the guy check for a green card on every hedge trimmer, bus boy and roofer that does work for them? The reality is that once illegals get in, and begin contributing in ways that improve our standard of living, it's very tough to bounce them back out. I'm not in favor of opening the borders wide open, but do want to see a workable plan related to immigration (and yes that begins with shutting the southern border down as best as possible).

If you knew he was an illegal before you paid him...well, you're a contributor to the problem. Personally, I don't support Antifa, Dems...or illegals. But I guess you think 1 out of 3 isn't that bad. I ride with Jimbo. Guessing here no one has ever utilized a concrete slab.

Not trying to put words in your mouth, but metaphorically speaking, you are saying we need to shut the back door that is letting in the the dust before we start sweeping out the house? Seems logical. But what does logic have to do with anything anymore?

I hope those that sympathize with illegals never complain about picking up the tab for them.

I get where you're coming from Dave. But as to your questions, I mow my own lawn and do all my own yard work, my roofer is a white dude off this forum, and I don't hire bus boys that is on the restaurant. Of course I can only speak for myself here. You could ask for a green card or papers, but they could lie or give you falsified documents and there is no way to really check. This guy came right out and said he was illegal, little bit of a difference.

Jeeeeesh ---------- I thought the interesting part of my story was that the Russian told me after 2 weeks he knew that being in Afghanistan was a waste of time ------ and all of the soldiers there thought the same thing. Illegals are part of daily life in Texas. My friend who builds duplexes --- 15 at a time--- says that if they deported all the illegals he would have to quit the next day.

You know how you get rid of 20-30 mil illegals...one bus load at a time until they're all gone. Some of you folks try to justify them being here, that's on you.

Yea many complain about illegals until it comes to labor they have to pay out of their pocket. Then they turn a blind eye!
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

We had illegals working on the ranch when I was a kid. They would work a month or so then head back to Mexico. Before they would head back many times they would want us to take them to town to buy clothes or shoes. Sometimes nearly spending the entire amount they had made. My Dad payed them $2 a day and provided food and a place to stay. That was back in the early 60's. Now I think it might be better to export all the legal folks that don't want to work and just want to live off the Government tit and keep the illegals that want to work.

You can't get a day laborer in Mckinney for less than $15 an hour plus lunch and if you're a bollilo some of them want more. Every single one is illegal and most are lazy. That [censored] needs to stop, send their asses home. I'd rather pay an American citizen.

I think he had come down from Dallas, thru Temple,, he had a 4 wheeler in the back of his truck that he was also hauling to Baton Rouge. When I spoke Russian to him, it sort of dropped all of the usual barriers that he might have. Most of the conversation over dinner was in English, my Russian is not that good any more. He Had to go less than 60 mph because my tires on the trailer were more than 7 yrs old. He drove all night. I'm more worried about his trailer having 7 year old tires and him skirting highway laws than anything. That's life threatening.

I had a girlfriend that was an illegal alien. When she made me made, I would hold up the phone and threaten to call the avocados. It shut her up but I feel bad about doing that now. You should feel bad. Avocados would have come, arrested her and turned her into guacamole.
