Laredo City Manager: a border wall is unnecessary

[bedowin62]

only republicans hire illegals idiot?
or are you saying libs do it to but with no shame?

 

[bedowin62]

.....................because libs don't own businesses?

 

[bedowin62]

like I said dummy; if you really care about it so much stop whining and call republican's bluff and support us in our drive to get rid of them

other wise why are you crying like a bitch if you agree with those republicans that want them to stay?

 

[Vandalshandle]

We should hire the Chinese to build the wall. They built the longest one on earth to keep the Mongols out. Of course, the Mongols just bribed their way through, conquered, and ruled China for hundreds of years, anyway. But that isn't the point......

 

[OKTexas]

What did you expect him to say, we don't want the revenue the illegals bring to the city?

Yo, you mean? The revenue they steal from America, and then send it back to Mexico?

Yo, dummy, they don't steal. They work hard and the employers who hire them (who the Republicans won't blame for hiring illegals) are making out like bandits. They are the ones that are stealing.

if a mexican comes here illegally then he is working here illegally.....then sending the money back to his real home in mexico is stealing U.S. money illegally to another country.....they are bandidos....

exactly; and since many work under the table they arent even paying taxes on it at all

the Left is always looking for new ways to finance its version of utopia; you'd think they would tax the $100 BILLION being sent out of the country yearly

Funny, that you are so willing to call the hard worker doing what he can to keep his family alive criminal....yet it is against the law to hire illegals and most conservatives just look the other way and don't scream out to their politicians to start enforcing stronger penalties at those who hire the illegals......

And you are so full of shit....they pay taxes on what they make. You need to educate yourself before spouting off.


It's a myth that illegal immigrants don't pay taxes, says Dulce Guerroro, a self-confessed illegal immigrant living in Mableton, Georgia.

Guerrero's whole family is undocumented, except for her 13-year old younger brother, who was born in the U.S. and is a U.S. citizen. She says that they all work and pay taxes through their Internal Revenue System (IRS) issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs).

"People always, always point out that we don't pay taxes, which is a complete lie," Guerrero told Business Insider.

With Donald "The Trumpublican" Trump standing right next to him, as the City Manager was asked about a border wall, he said, no, it is not necessary at this time.

Well, that kind of shot a hole in Trump's trip.

Yo, a City Manager? You can`t come up with someone with more standing? You are really going downhill!!!

Apparently, he was important enough for Donald Trump to want to stand next to him and put his hand on his shoulder and be friendly to him.

Yo, just one question: are you brain-damaged?

Again, why do you ask a question you already know the answer to?

I mean anyone that write like Vinnie Barbarino is not all there in the head...

( I would write the Snail with Down Syndrome but I can only use it so many times before it loses it meaning )

Because I like to be kind.

Nope, sales tax revenues, illegals spend money in Laredo after the cross the border.

I didn't know cities collected sale taxes. Here in Georgia it is a state sales tax. You can clarify it if they have a local option sales tax for the city of Laredo.

Actually I'm in the right State, at least most of the State reps care that illegals are costing us billions a year.

We have a 6.25% state sales tax, localities can charge up to an additional 2%.

In Georgia cities can charge an additional 1% and it is always on the ballot. What percentage does Laredo charge? OOPS, I missed your link and saw 1.5%. I guess my next question is how many illegals live in Laredo? BTW, I am a Texan by birth as was my mother and all of her family.

No one knows the exact number, a bunch, even more pass through there in transit to other places. Most all spend money and the city gets their cut. Why would the city manage want to lose that?

 

[Ernie S.]

...and so the spin from the Right starts. If he talks to people who agree with Trump, then he is getting to the root of the problem of border security. If they disagree with Trump, it is because they have been bullied by Trump's enemies. This is actually somewhat credible because damned near everybody is one of Trump's enemies.

no... the wall is a bad idea in some areas... a stupid idea to be more specific.

I'm going with gators in the Rio Grande.

 

[bedowin62]

We should hire the Chinese to build the wall. They built the longest one on earth to keep the Mongols out. Of course, the Mongols just bribed their way through, conquered, and ruled China for hundreds of years, anyway. But that isn't the point......

because it's still the Middle Ages

what happened to "YES WE CAN!!" from thes left-wing nutjobs

 

[Zander]

Everyone has an opinion.

I think that unless and until we get some sort of meaningful punishment for people that hire these illegals we need a fence/wall. Preferably one that electrocutes. Just post signs in Spanish, that inform the illegals that they'll be fried with 100,000 volts if they touch the fence/wall. It's time to stop pussyfooting around.

We should also adopt Mexico's immigration policy. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:

• in the country legally;

• have the means to sustain themselves economically;

• not destined to be burdens on society;

• of economic and social benefit to society;

• of good character and have no criminal records; and

• contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

The law also ensures that:

• immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;

• foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;

• foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;

• foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;

• foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;

• those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:

• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress.” (Article 32)

• Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” and for their dependents. (Article 34)

• Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics,” when foreigners are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when “they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy.” (Article 37)

• The Secretary of Governance may “suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest.” (Article 38)

Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:

• Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

• A National Population Registry keeps track of “every single individual who comprises the population of the country,” and verifies each individual’s identity. (Articles 85 and 86)

• A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

• Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

• Foreigners who sign government documents “with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses” are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

• Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

• Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

• Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico — such as working with out a permit — can also be imprisoned.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,

• “A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)

• Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)

• Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)

Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:

• A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

• Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

Please explain to this under informed liberal how building a multibillion dollar fence will keep out the 50% of illegal aliens, who simply overstay their visa. And, while you're at it, you might want to read up on tunnels and ladders. They, too, have been around since the Middle Ages. BTW, did bribery die out in the Middle Ages? Of course, everyone knows that illegals can't swim, and never fly, so there would be no need to handle air and sea trespassers...or are you thinking about building the fence across the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico? This being Trump's big idea, I can't wait to hear his other ideas!
