"Jay is the fucking man.

He's all for LEGAL aliens. LEGAL is the key word here, people. What's that word again? LEGAL.

People in this country ILLEGALLY are criminals and aliens hence his coining the phrase CRIMALIENS.

It's just a clever shtick that he enjoys using. LIBERALS are supposed to equal FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

aren't they?"

So let me ask you this, how do you think one becomes legal? Do you think you can just apply, wait, then get in? Or do you think all you have to do is marry an American? If not, how do you think someone comes in legally? If you don't have a relative here, and aren't a student, you have basically no chance whatsoever of being accepted. And i don't know about you, but if i were born in a third world country, and my options were to live in poverty and not be able to support myself or my family, or go to another country that has more resources, jobs, and opportunities than would EVER be available to me..i think i would try to get accepted legally into that country.... only to realize that getting INTO that country without close relatives already being citizens is near impossible, and if I did get accepted, I'd have to wait 5-10years (still very rare)to actually move there, i am pretty sure i would take a chance and try to sneak in.

My reasoning would probably go something like this... Why shouldn't i have the chance to work hard and actually support myself and the ones i love? Because i wasn't born in the country? Wait a minute, i thought the US was started entirely by immigrants? Well, besides the Native Americans that the "immigrants" slaughtered to near genocide, but that's off the topic. Because i wouldn't want to slaughter anyone, i just want a chance to work hard, to pay my taxes.. ya know, have something that resembles a normal life..

Complain all you want about immigrants taking jobs from "Real Americans" But i still haven't met a single American who was upset because his job cleaning dishes was taken by immigrants. Sure maybe people are angry with immigrants for working for less money than is the norm for a given profession (almost always labor, it's probably pretty hard to get an office job without papers.) but again, anyone could do that, you could go out and work for less than an immigrant and take all their work, but you wouldn't want to because you would feel "cheated". Because your an American and you should be paid more than a wetback... or if you don't feel that way, why should you have the right to the job and they don't?

Let's look at a similar situation. Cars used to be put together by people. Actual people putting all the parts together, but then one day people designed machines to do it cheaper.. and all those people lost their jobs. We didn't try to make the assembly machines illegal because they "Hurt the American worker". That's just part of the fun of capitalism. Your job CAN suddenly be worth less, for a million reasons, and i bet you don't complain when companies compete for your money by lowering prices, why should it bother you when your being competed with? It's not your right to have a job, and getting mad because someone wants to do your job cheaper than you is plain ol stupid. Go to school, do something that pays better, or deal with it and make less money.
