Been there. Hated it. Would never want to live there, but if you’re in a hurry to live in those conditions, I suggest you move to one rather than turning my country into one.

1. What third world shithole/s have you been to?
2. Why did you go?
3. What did you hate about it/them?
4. You realize "my" country is "our" country, and that there are more "my country" people living in "our" country that make this country a "shithole" than there are "other" people who make this country a shithole, right?
5. Be honest. Which do you like the least? "Illegal immigrants" from Mexico and Venezuela who do not commit crimes other than being in this country "illegally. "Legal" Muslims and Islamists living in Michigan. Members of White Supremacist militia groups in Michigan.

1.What third world shithole/s have you been to?

Mexico and Nepal.

2. Why did you go?

To Mexico to build houses and to Nepal for student cross-cultural experience.

3. What did you hate about it/them?

Lack of potable water, lack of indoor plumbing, abject poverty, and smells.

4. You realize "my" country is "our" country, and that there are more "my country" people living in "our" country that make this country a "shithole" than there are "other" people who make this country a shithole, right?

You have a right to your opinion. I disagree. Those who are actively working to subvert and piss away "my" country no longer have a right to call it "our" country anymore.

5. Be honest. Which do you like the least? "Illegal immigrants" from Mexico and Venezuela who do not commit crimes other than being in this country "illegally. "Legal" Muslims and Islamists living in Michigan. Members of White Supremacist militia groups in Michigan.

That's a pretty loaded question. For me, it would be the illegal immigrants (no quotation marks) who are draining our country's resources that can be used for people here legally, who pay taxes, and who serve their country. A close second would be the White Supremacists.

I think prosperity is a zero sum game, and when the number of people who are taking exceed the number who are contributing, it becomes a slippery slope. I am not against being compassionate and helping others, as evidenced by my work in Mexico and Nepal, but opening the borders and indiscriminately allowing 10 million high need people into the country as Brandon and Giggles have done over the last 3 1/2 years, is irresponsible, dangerous, and, in my opinion, criminal.

You may commence with the ubiquitous lampooning and name-calling now.

I am talking about citizens vs. non-citizens and legal vs. illegal residents. You can play your numbers games with tax revenue vs. subsidies, but at least these are people who are actually paying taxes.

Case in point, the convenience store I go to every morning to get my caffeine fix has started posting signs on Friday of every week that they cannot break $50 and $100 bills. The sign stays up all weekend. I asked the manager why the other day and she said that Friday is payday and that they have been overrun with Hispanic men starting at about 5:00 every Friday morning coming in with their week's pay in cash and paying for their lunch and snacks with $100 bills, which empties the register within a matter of an hour or two.

It is apparent that they are illegal, getting paid under the table, and cannot set up a bank account because of their status.

I can only imagine how humiliating it must be to see less educated people with $50s and $100s.

Learn to read. Or, better yet, just don't respond to my posts. Your act got old long ago.

I read just fine. Explain to me what I missed. Or, is that beneath you?

My issue was not with the money itself, nor the amount per se. It was with it being in cash/under the table, thus untaxable. If I have to get screwed by the IRS, so should they.

Realize Kenilworth was known as a town that "excluded" "Blacks and Jews" when I lived a couple towns over. Now of course they have their tokens.

As we have made clear, this is an employer issue. The hypocrisy runs deep in the GOP as many have been paying illegals forever, especially in Texas and Florida. Your false dilemma would also be fixed easily by making it easier for immigrants to earn legal status.
