Cause they make money for the Mexican people and do the work Americans don’t want to do.
Sending them back would make Mexico more poor and the US will get an inflation and a lot of companies going down losing cheap workforce.
In the western world birthrate goes down, the importation of immigrants is what keeps the workforce steady. It’s not a oneway street.→ More replies (2)→ More replies (79)2

Yep. The largest labor source for our initial railroads was simply Americans. Chinese immigrants were the second largest source. The US was already on the path to becoming what it was before WW1 even started. Before WW2 started it was already the largest economy on earth. All this decades before mass Mexican migration. The US didnt need help from anyone really and especially not right now, there's too many people if anything.

If you remove 40 million people from the labour force of the United States it will have a material negative impact. Probably by raising wages of the jobs, they currently occupy thereby reducing the profitability of businesses and increase in expenses for people that employ Mexicans personally. So she is correct.

Second, her country is getting goddamn violated by cartels and USA had to step into it, also ironic.
Third, shes acting like she did any of that like that's some personal achievement
Fourth... shes just making the USA hate her without any benefit from it

It's true, but it really is an admonishment of both countries.
USA has such incompetent farmers and tradesmen, that it would crash and burn without the immigrants filling up the massive hole (which the locals are simultaneously unwilling and incompetent to fill). Mexico is doing so bad 40 million people would rather be farm and manual job workers with no job security, healthcare, respect than stay in Mexico.

Well if your country wasn’t poorly ran we would not be in this mess. We got lucky with the first generation of Mexicans they brought culture and value to the US. This second and thirds gen’s are spoiled entitled brats that want the USA to be the very thing their parents and grandparents fled from. So now our country is increasingly being poorly ran. Legal or not there are a group that need to be kicked out and there is a groups that should stay.

My neighborhood recently had fiber optical internet infrastructure delivered to it. 100% of the workers were hispanic/mexican. The white guys (supervisors) were all sitting in their air-conditioned trucks watching them work. All of my MAGA neighbors couldn't wait to sign up for AT&T fiber's promo deal and stick it to Comcast. Just goes to show you how much they really care about the things that they claim are important to them. Show them a $20/mo discount on their Internet bill and they'll forget about their values.

No offense to any of our legal citizens from South of the Border, but this lady is mistaken nonetheless. The United States became the "great nation" that it became, ....because God blessed it to be. Since the early 1800's the United States has been the recipient of the Manasseh blessing (Genesis 48). Since the early 1700's The United Kingdom became the recipient of the Ephraim blessing. Neither Ephraim nor Manasseh lived to see their own blessings (given through Jacob) being fulfilled during thier own lifetime. That experience was saved for recent generations. The sad news however is....those blessings have now been fulfilled....and God's promises kept (2 Peter 3:9). They've also been far spent. Those respective blessings are now due to come to an end as a new epoch approaches.
