Same way we'd kick out 100 to 200 people, only repeat it 100,000 times. Plenty of legal immigrants would line up to replace them for jobs where immigrant labor is deemed necessary. And I seriously doubt that a bunch of poor immigrants making minimum wage or less are going to pay more in taxes than they and their children will consume in government services.

Originally posted by DaShi View PostAnyway, back on topic. They are only going after Rubio after Obama tanked his election chances by agreeing with him. Obama now plans to agree with or praise each potential republican 2016 candidate before the primaries. However, I suspect he'll skip Santorum and Jindal.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Originally posted by kentonio View PostSure, good luck finding 20 million American citizens who are going to fill those jobs picking fruit, cleaning toilets and mowing lawns.

Originally posted by gribbler View PostFirst of all, 20 million illegal aliens doesn't mean 20 million labor force participants. Second, there are plenty of people abroad who would happily come here legally to pick fruit. Third, suburban Americans can mow their own ****ing lawns. Maybe they'd shed a few pounds. Fourth, there are plenty of unemployed Americans who should suck it up and clean toilets.

Originally posted by kentonio View PostSo basically you want to kick out 20 million people, so you can allow a different x million people back in, and you also want American society to change radically? So not asking much then..

Originally posted by gribbler View PostYes, kick out lawbreakers and let law abiding people take their place. And make obese Americans get some exercise. Sounds good to me. I'm not saying we should do these things because they are easy but because they are hard.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
