Spent most of my life in the U.S. Southwest. Don't really have an issue
with hispanics or immigration, but would prefer it be done legally. I
also think legal immigration, and work visas should be a simpler process
for the most part.

In terms of education, I know a lot of Latinos(as), many who don't even
speak Spanish at this point (couple of generations in). My ex wife's
dad had forgotten Spanish years ago (moved here as a young boy, time in
the Marines as a Field Medic and an RN after until he died.)

It's kind of just the way of things... tbh, I'm more concerned for the homeless meth heaads in Portland and Seattle than the hispanics in the Southwest, although numbers at the border aren't sustainable or able to
be absorbed into the country.

I am by no means any-immigration or anti-hispanic, either. In my area there are thousands of acres of grapes and fruits, and all the picking is done by migrant workers. Grapes can be trimmed on in the winters and winters have
been mild enough to keep these workers going year after year.

The problem I have with illegals is they do not pay taxes, and there's no
means of vetting them to know if they have violent or criminal backgrounds. Some are mules and carry drugs over the border, then turn themselves in for a ride home after they make their deliveries. Scrappers are bad, too. They drive around and check out farms, looking for scrap metal to turn in. Some
are honest. Others will tresapass and look through buildings and take more than
scrap metal.

Regarding political refugees, we need to fix the process if there is a legitimiate reason for people to seek asylum. Living in a shitty, backward country isn't enough.

You cannot convince some people of that last bit regarding sustainability.
I would not have any problem with it at all... and probably wouldn't even
give it a thought... if I thought it was sustainable.

Here in my state, many of them do. Their employer takes it out of their paycheck... although they are often using stolen and/or deceased persons'
SSNs to do so.

Yes, I am aware that others are probably being paid cash under the table.

Agreed, it should not be enough. There are some in the FIDO POLITICS echo
who believe that should always be more than enough, though.
