pay for. If Democrats want to give health care to the undocumented
aliens then they need to take the political courage to raise those
taxes if they feel so deeply for that demographic group.
The reality is, while some people may come over the border for the
benefits, we have a lot of undocumented workers who, well, work. They
work in kitchens, they work in fields, they work in a ton of places.
They pay sales taxes, gas taxes and more. The California economy
depends on them.

A lot of "us" don't really have a problem with these people. They
come in, do the work that no one else (including the jobless)
seem to want to do, they pay their taxes, and they go home.
Unfortunately, some do have a problem with that... not sure why but
I would unfortunately guess that it is because they are not white
or don't speak English as a first language. :(

that's what you've been brainwashed to believe. they have jobs that
other americans do. non illegals clean toilets or work on farms.
No, actually I have been told by multiple jobless folks over the
years that they don't want those jobs. There was one that hung
around in FIDO POLITICS (and maybe still does) that likes to complain
about illegals taking jobs, but also about how his government
assistance isn't enough. When I pointed out that they were hiring
fruit pickers in the SE US to replace the ones that were deported,
and suggested he could get a job like that, he didn't like that
suggestion. He seemed offended that I would suggest it.
If I have been "brainwashed" to believe that, it is by many
mostly-white, mostly-male people who don't want to work... and, for
at least the younger ones, enjoy living with their parents...
not by whoever you think did it.

that's a racist thing though. you think all they do is pick fruit and clean toilets? they do all kinds of jobs and own properties.
who does those jobs that the 'illegals' do as americans? felons, people who take drugs, people who work under the table, double dipping from disability and working cash or people who want to make good money and arent afraid
of hard work.
Yes, but in the cases I am refering to, the last sentence there would disqualify those Americans... they don't want to do any type of
"hard work" because it is somehow beneath their long-unemployed
arses.
Once you run out of felons, druggies, etc., who aren't afraid of hard
work, I suspect that leaves a whole lot of unfilled openings
while the rest of the "Americans without jobs 'cuz illegals"
sit around and don't want those jobs.
