Show me a governor that is willing to bring troops to the border, and I'll show one that doesn't own any landscape that needs maintenance.

Better yet, you show me a Gov that would be stupid enough to directly hire illegal aliens to do their yard work and I'll bet his term will be shortened.

what a stupid ass argument. so if we don't have illegals running around our society will be overrun by runaway landscaping? AAAH, the bushes are attacking! Run away run away!

People pay landscapers and housecleaners because the low cost is justifiable within their budgets. It is a business decision. If it becomes too expensive, I'll bet they'll remember how to start their own lawnmowers before the grass gets too tall. hey look at that, now they are saving a couple hundred bucks a month and getting some exercise... the horror, the horror.

Actually, without undocumented immigrants you'd be paying $10 for an apple. Also, there are no "illegals" and anyone who denies this is an idiot who can't read English.

Might want to change that to your standard of "and a moron" before we all asphyxiate on the irony of "can't read English."

Well since so many illegal aliens can't read English I would guess that would be a great description.

"can't read English" is grammatically correct so I fail to see the irony.

And the English I was referring to is that of the U.S. Constitution which prohibits the federal government from legislating over immigration.

I stand corrected. I was referring to those for whom English as their primary language, yet are unable to read in English. This refers to idiots like you Merc.

All the illegal aliens standing just on the other side of the fence waiting to enter our country illegally in violation of our law? I think you are right.
