They do jobs that most residents won't touch and for pennies.

I agree, but those jobs should have been afforded wage protections years ago. That was the original reason nobody would take them. In this country, we teach children they are fools to work hard without proper compensation. So it is no wonder those jobs cannot be filled by domestic help.

I have done landscaping work alongside Salvadorans, Nicaraguans, and Mexicans (needed a job and my bro ran a landscpe co). Frequently the guys who run those companies are making very little profit, so it is no wonder they have to pay the least they legally can and hire people they cannot really background check. Throwing up roadblocks to getting a job like that is stupid.

I think it would be easy enough to identify these folks who are actually working and give them a boost to become citizens. My idea is if you turn in an illegal alien that is MS-13 or other gang member and get them deported, you should get reward points for that towards citizenship.

Problem is that MS-13 and co. will probably then declare machete war on the area.

41 Percent of everyone in the Virginia on Medicade (WELFARE) is an Hispanic child (source Examiner Newspaper). THEY ARE ALL ON SOME FORM OF GOVT WELFARE! Yes someone may work under the table for 10 dollars an hour but rape you without even you realizing in the social costs. This is exactly why our real estate taxes have doubled over the past few years. Where do you think the money is going? Pleassse don't come back with the prices of our houses have gone up so much, remember there is two sides to a multiplication problem, the out come is higher taxes!

Don't forget the WIC, food stamps, Fairfax County Housing Vouchers, emergency rooms, and our school systems, AND THE LIST COULD FILL THIS PAGE.

I am sick and tired of hearing about jobs they do that we don't. Don't you clean your house, cut your grass, and cook your own food.

I DO A JOB OTHERS WON'T DO, I AM A MOBILIZED ARMY RESERVIST THAT MAY HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS COUNTRY!! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE ME!!!

I think our immigration policy is ridiculous, mostly because it isn't enforced. Build the friggin' wall. Then, unleash the ICE authorities to crack down on employers that are serial law breakers when it comes to hiring illegals by fining their asses and throwing them in jail. Next, give hospitals the means to track down illegals who have used their services and force them to pay their medical bills before resorting to Medicaid. Finally, enact laws that strictly define housing laws that define a single family home as a home with a single family and multi-family homes as homes with many families. It should be a violation of the housing code for a single family home to have multiple renters living in it.

Once we do all of that, if the illegals who are still here want to live here, give them a chance to earn citizenship. Otherwise, adios.

Well, Fairfax County is the headquarters for that bullshit. If you are going to be a married yuppie couple, buy a fucking condo and don't have kids. Otherwise, make a commitment to raise your kids and take care of your house yourself. Insane.

Our Boards Three Biggest Losers
Posted by: Pedro ()

§, Gravis, and Reston Peace our little nice push in the sand wanna be!!

The above three attributes:

1. I take bong hits, speed through neighbor hoods and want to slam people for not obeying the law (Drug Addict - STIDMAN).
2. I am bi-polar; can't get a job because of my problem (Gravis). EXCUSE FOR BEING A LOSER AND NOT WANTING TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILTY FOR YOUR SELF GENERATED EXCUSE FOR BEING A LOSER!
3. I am a Nazi "§" supporter (given). To help you understand, read your posts and please tell me you don't stand for "National Socialism"

Please tell me what you do for a living? Besides break the law taking bong hits, blaming my problems on my fabricated "bi-p" problems, and a true member of the socialist party.

If you work for the goverment, get a life. Please tell all of us what you do for a living and explain to the board as a Military Reservist, WE ARE PROVIDING THE majority of the war effort TODAY!

WHY DON'T YOU SIGN UP? Please don't give your 1965 answer on the Marxist view you all hold. If you don't like it, change it!@ NONE OF YOU HAVE REAL JOBS OR REAL LIVES!

It is because of people that love this country, you have the right to say your perverted views.

Action Item: Please tell the board what you do for a living? Before you slam people that are willing to give there lives for this country!

And lastly, please don't bring up George Bush. I already think he is a POS, but your leftest agenda has no solutions.

I don't sign up because I have a real job paying good money and I don't have to risk my life to realize potential in my life. I feel bad for you that you are apparently from a poor family or improper upbringing and felt so trapped that you needed to join the military to make any poossible good outcome occur from your life.

I don't feel hurt by what you stated because I don't really care if that is your perspective of something you have never experienced. Making fun of people with bipolar disorder is a great way to punctuate that you cannot make an eloquent argumant, I might add.

I have a feeling a person of your intellect is sweeping floors and working in a kitchen, not to mention scrubbing latrines. That's life prep right there. When I was working as a military contractor I had to skirt around people like you at the mess all the time. Try to sweep in a smaller radius so as not to impede people with real work to be getting back to.

as for your action item, I'm a NOC Operator, what the hell does that have to do with anything? You watch too much Fox News.

For fucks sake every time Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, or some wanna-be grunt talks about defending our liberty and how the forces of evil and liberals are trying to take our freedom, I want to throw up. That isn't what our forces do and anyone that believes it lives on a fluffy little cloud in selfrighteousville.

What I want to know is...given that there are many places in this country that have very few illegal aliens (often places that are perjoratively described as "flyover country", such as suburban Pittsburgh, PA)..who installs drywall, mows the lawns, cleans the toilets, washes the cars, builds the houses, etc?

I mean, we're constantly told about all the jobs that "Americans don't want to do" and it would seem to me that in these places Americans ARE doing those jobs.

Probably because they can afford to do them there--I would not want to try living on a drywaller's pay around here unless it's in a house with 20 of my fellow countrymen.

I, for one, voted for Bush hoping he would lower taxes and pander to corporate America. I seemed to have gotten that at first in 2001.

I was hoping that maybe pandering to those bastards would mean more jobs. I believe they call that a "pipe dream". Now that I am older and wiser I know it just means they will steal from us while seemingly giving us jobs, and then leave us normal folk holding the bag.

I've always just been on the side of non-intrusion. If a person is not hurting you or having any negative effect on your life, then leave them alone. If the person is a gangbanger or killer or rapist or even just a street drunk and isn't legal, however, punish/deport them as you see fit.

I don't see why we need to lump all people into groups all the time. We have the resources to deal with this on a case-by-case basis, and in fact we've been dealing with immigration essentially in that manner for years now, because nobody can take action on a solution that encompasses the entire illegal population at once.

We catch an immigrant here or there, or maybe a group, and something is done based on the specific circumstances of that case. We should just arrange the system to make that process less contentious and more productive, see if we can weed out the bad seeds and potential leeches from the immigrant folk who can actually help our society.

Of course I am living in a liberal fantasy world today so whatever.

you simplified that a bit, I mean, cheap labor will not equal more profit if your customer base is not satisfied with the end product and you lose business as a result.

however, you could be a in a cheap-labor flooded market like ours, and that output quality becomes normal from business to business, and customers can't do better without prices rising sharply. Easy to survive then, because all you have to do is blend.

The end product has declined over the years.
Honestly, when was the last time you have received really good customer service?
I work in DC and I observe people, Americans, who get frustrated with the way immigrants provide services to them.

You walk up to a deli counter and ask if the they have wheat bread. And in response you get "um...what kind"...

But thats the reality. Noone is making an efford to learn the language. And without it - there is no way you can properly serve English speaking crowds.

Result? Frustrated customer base and lost business, most of the time. (Some just put up with this)

In the future - this isnt going to change. So might as well get used to it. Unfortunately people are getting used to it and see it as a norm.

I don't. I made an efford to learn the language and I think that everyone else should too.

As far as Bush family goes - Jeb Bush is married to a Mexican lady :-) I will let you figure out the rest...

The service is a lot better in places where most everyone speaks fluent English.

As far as the fast-food places around here, they should just cut their labor costs even more and put touch-screen ordering in, like WaWa and Sheetz have.

At least a computer won't mess your order up.

True story, I went into the post office last Thursday. I had a letter I wanted overnighted to Greensboro, NC. The guy told me in he had to check to make sure they delivered to that country of Carolina. Took me a couple of trys to convince him it was really a state and even more so it was the next state south of us. I had to get it there the next day so I sweated it out but he must have gotten it right, it did get there the next day.

I really dont fault anyone trying to make it in the U S. It is a tough country with a high cost of living and an even harder language to learn.

I think most of us in this area have learned to expect little or no customer service anymore regardless of the company. It appears to be a sign of the times. Plus I have gotten just as crappy service from people who have lived here all their lives and speak English as their first language. At least the foreigners are trying.

I am weary of living in an area where I am surrounded by so many foreigners and, specifically, those who do not take the time to learn English. I find it extremely irritating when I see products on the shelves with labels in Spanish or the ads in the stores written in languages other than English. The illegals cause more harm than any good to the economy in my opinion. I have seen so many of them overcrowd a home and that certainly has a negative impact on the property values in those communities. I know, first hand, of an illegal family whose son attended school in Fairfax County. This young man excelled -- certainly something to be proud of and he, no doubt, will ultimately be a contriubting member of our society --- however --- he was given various scholarships and opportunities beyond those provided to the American students -- and I do have a problem with that.

you know who invented the thought baloon?

an illegal imigrant! bwhahahahah

But seriously folks building a wall along a border is stupid. Amnesty and notorizing immigrants is a lot smarter thing to do. Since we can then tax their employment and keep track of revenue.

Amnesty was already tried, in 1986. 20 years later, what would make another amnesty any different?

Maybe we should just make a law: Every 20 years, starting in 1986, anyone who managed to sneak across the border and not get deported shall get an amnesty.

don't complain about democrat counterfeiting

sue them, and don't stop suing them

Hillary for jail 2016

obviously means: obama.gov and counterfeiters to jail, and hillary too if she somehow is allowed to attempt to continue the counterfeiting (that benefits political families)

So many are missing the point, as well as the true cost of illegal immigrants to our society. Let me first say that most of the immigrants here, illegal or not, are here to work and make a better life for themselves and their families. I can remember when there we less than 2 dozen illegal labor's in all of Arlington county. Secondly, it is a total myth that these people are low paid workers. As a whole, they make at least $15 an hour tax free. Thats $3 an hour more than the Bernie Sanders supporters made even though he was ready to demand all employers pay a $15 minimum wage. Tax free it's easily $20 an hour for a payroll employee. There's a catch. They have no safty net. If the economy tanks, they get no unemployment. Like all payroll employees, who pay unemployment insurance, they do not. So when the economy fails, which it always does, whi do you think is going to pay so these people dont starve on the streets? Taxpayers will goot that bill. Go ahead and say let'um starve. But its not going to happen. And when they have babbies or medical needs, who pays? Tax payers. Extra police? New school space? Social services? All taxpayer funded. Are we really prepared to remove 15 million people? It's not only ridiculous, its just not realistic. And it would collapse our economy. Fact is, if the government didnt have so many able bodied "citizens" on welfare of all sorts, we wouldn't have such a large need for illeagle immigrants to begin with. The true solution as I see it is to issue geen cards to those productve illegals with limited benefits so as not to reward them for coming here outside tge law, make them pay taxes like the rest of us to help support the services they already use, and seal the boarders to keep our sovereign nation, well, SOVEREIGN.otherwise, in short order, the systems that mame the US a place everyone wants to come to will not exist in it's current form. And who will the liberal's and conservatives have to blame then? We are doing this to ourselves. We will deserve what we get. Man are our grandchildren going to hate us.
