| [AmericanGreatness] Last year, as a member of a Southern California moms’ group, I received an email from a woman with a dilemma. Her part-time nanny, who had been in her employ a little over a year, was asking for a raise, from $25 to $30-an-hour. The mom wanted a basis for comparison before she said "No." (The language she actually used was far more colorful.) The response she got was nothing short of astounding. "Absolutely not!" said one. "That’s highway robbery!" said another. And then the truth. Another mom on the list suggested‐and I’m paraphrasing here‐that because she could just go to our local park and pick up another "helper" for less than what she was already paying, that raise was over the top. |

| #13 And at the same time they send money back to Mexico acting as a safety valve from utter poverty that would be the result of the Mexican gov idiot policies. No safety valve equals political reform or revolution. Oligarchs are smart enough to give up power to avoid being hanged. |

| #12 there are banks that discriminate against undocumented people That's actually refusing to be an accessory after the fact, not "discrimination". |

| #11 Illegals are here, and we can afford to employ them because they are a source of cheap, domestic labor. The Dems are for slave labor? Who would have known? |

| #10 We can pay them whatever we want. That is always & everywhere true. The bigger question is always, will there be anyone willing to work for what you are willing to pay? |

| #6 Under the old system of slavery, the master had to provide clothes, food, and shelter. Now the master uses the public treasury to cover those, while still getting cheap labor. |

| #4 As I’ve said. Illegal aliens are the new slave class. And are indeed cheaper than traditional slaves in their masters don’t have to even feed or shelter them. |

| #2 The "park". The homeless at the park can no longer get a labor gig because dozens of illegals now hang around Home Depot or Lowes to get picksd up to paint the garage instead. |

| #1 It's what I've long said, the demonrats need their slave class. Since it's no longer considered appropriate to have black servants, now you have illegals. Demonrats, the party of Slavery, human sacrifice and zero morality. Might as well vote Satan! |
