A Visit to a Care Home--and Thoughts About Illegals

[LoneLaugher]

Why doesn't the OP know that undocumented immigrants represent a net positive for the US economy?

The minute you stop watching the wall it will be solved. So don’t waste money building a wall you won’t watch 24 7. And if you’re going to watch the wall 24/7 then just watch the border. No wall needed.

Except they do those jobs. The whole pretense that there is a shortage makes you a liar.

Not really. If you get a white person in a job like that, trust me, they can't wait to get the fuck out of it. I've done their resumes! The first thing they ask is, "How can I get a job where I don't have to deal ith old people!"

Fuck that. Are you a liberal? Well then you need to know that unions have always been against illegal immigrant labor. They knew the more cheap labor flooding the market means lower wages. And companies hiring illegals instead of Americans. And you wonder why blue collar is struggling. What’s wrong with you? Google thom Hartmann’s op ed corporatists vs racists and labor left behind.

How many blue collar Americans would start a house cleaning company or landscaping company if illegals went away? How many American landscaping companies today hire illegals? Now is when you say it’s because they can’t find workers. Ok, then make the immigrants you import legal. Put them on the books. And pay them American wages and over the table. You have to apply to the government and tell them how many Mexicans you want. Or Arabs. Yes you can choose what kind of immigrants you want. Lol if I was a landscaper I wouldn’t want Indians

Well. That was compelling. But the facts remain. Undocumented Immigrants are not costing the US money.

Okay, here's the problem with your whole theory.

If we don't have immigration, we aren't going to have enough young people paying into the system to keep it afloat. I mean, it would be nice if the politicians stopped stealing from Social Security to pay for bombers and tax cuts for billionaires, but at some point, we are going to need more younger people to provide the tax revenues for these folks.

Not to mention a pool of people to change Granny's Depends(R) for minimum wage.

The reality, immigration is a net benefit, because we get the value of the goods and services produced by these immigrants, as opposed to these old folks in nursing homes who really don't produce anything at this point in their lives.

Illegals don't "pay into the system". Hello?

How can you not know that undocumented immigrants pay into the system?

Easy. You don't want to know.

/—-/ Working for cash off the books, for starters.

No, you have made claims and provided nothing. Actually not even claims, you have spouted the soundbites of your Overlords, that's it. You have linked nothing, no support, nothing.

Last night we visited an elderly family member at a care home. I was pleased to see that the care staff seems competent and friendly. My family member reports she is being well cared for, the food is good, and she gets good rest.

This is no less than she deserves, having paid into "the system" for years and years. (We can debate another day whether we need 'a system' at all). As she was reporting that Medicaid would give her a ride to her doctor appointments, I thought of the money all her care was costing. Again, she deserves this care. We owe it to our elderly citizens who have paid in and raised our young ones.

And then I thought of the thousands of people stealing over the border every year, taking money out of the system without ever having put a darn thing in. And they people who support this. Who say it's immoral NOT to support this.

It seems to me, if you support this, you are supporting taking money away from American citizens who really need it. Resources are finite. Money runs out. If you raise taxes, the economy slows and the funds dry up.

Given the scenario above, it seems incomprehensible to me that Americans do not want to seal the border. Can anyone make the case?

We had to put my mom in an Alzheimer’s home. Either $12k or $22k a month if you didn’t have Medicare. We paid 1 month and were hoping my mom would get Medicare in a month before they took any more of my dads money. A lawyer said he could get her on Medicare. My dad and I didn’t believe Medicare would kick in until my dad was broke. Luckily she didn’t last more than one month so we didn’t have to find out.

So that’s what it costs if you don’t have government healthcare. Could you afford it?

And the place was a dump and understaffed. Most of these homes are horrible. You maybe went on visiting day. Lol

Anyways, get this. There were these old Arab women in these homes on Medicaid. They came over with their party store owner kids and never paid in but here we are paying for gramma

But you see, that was kind of the point. It used to be, INS was part of the Labor Department, and their entire criteria was how many new people do we let in to fill in labor gaps in key markets. The mistake we've made is we've moved INS over to Justice, then reorganized it as the Jackbooted ICE and sent it over to the Orwellian named "Department of Homeland Security". If they didn't have a real threat, they'd invent one, which is how landscapers and cleaning ladies suddenly became this horrible threat to America.

It's crazy, man.

The real problem has been that most Americans don't want to do these labor intensive jobs. They want a job where they sit behind a desk and push buttons.

Sweet, sweet Sue.

You've ignored the facts. I know for a fact that you've been in threads where the facts were posted. You refused to learn.

The impact that undocumented immigrants have on our economy is positive. We'd lose money if they all suddenly left or were deported. These are facts.

 

[sealybobo]

People with cash have to pay more for the poor masses who are there because Medicaid is paying. Just remember most of us will be in this position. Should they get all our money when we die? We no longer leave out kids our life savings it goes to the hospital.

Ever see what the bill is when your loveone takes 2 weeks to die? Hundreds of thousands of dollars. You have to sell your home to pay the hospital bill sue

Making President Trump’s Bed: A Housekeeper Without Papers
At the president’s New Jersey golf course, an undocumented immigrant has worked as a maid since 2013. She said she never imagined she “would see such important people close up.”

By Miriam Jordan
Dec. 6, 2018

BEDMINSTER, N.J. — During more than five years as a housekeeper at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., Victorina Morales has made Donald J. Trump’s bed, cleaned his toilet and dusted his crystal golf trophies. When he visited as president, she was directed to wear a pin in the shape of the American flag adorned with a Secret Service logo.

Because of the “outstanding” support she has provided during Mr. Trump’s visits, Ms. Morales in July was given a certificate from the White House Communications Agency inscribed with her name.

Quite an achievement for an undocumented immigrant housekeeper.

Trump business empire shuns E-Verify, hires illegal immigrants

By Stephen Dinan and S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Thursday, December 6, 2018

Just five of the 565 companies in President Trump’s business empire are signed up to use E-Verify, the government’s best tool to weed illegal immigrants out of the workforce, according to a Washington Times analysis that suggests the president could personally be doing more on that front.

Mr. Trump’s golf courses in Charlotte, Los Angeles and Miami, his hotel in Washington, D.C., and a hotel he operated in New York are signed up.

But his marquee Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida is not signed up, nor are his golf courses in Virginia, Philadelphia or Bedminster, New Jersey — where, The New York Times reported Thursday, some illegal immigrants have been working for years.

It is your duty to report them. Why haven't you done that? Why do you support undocumented immigrants?

But since you are lying about it, don't worry.

Man. Why do nutbags think everyone is a gullible idiot.

/—-/ You’re generalizing. Explain how trade jobs are filled by Americans, like construction, auto mechanics, plumbing and so forth if they don’t want to do manual labor.
