By the way, al the Raptors in the BP fleet have cloth seats and do not look like a raptor on the inside.
My brother in law's brother just got out of prison. He was in the one where they prepare the border patrol vehicles. They sent back the scabs because the subframes were cracking when jumped. The screws were tested and approved.

I apologize for bashing your job debo. That wasn't right of me to do. I am certain that many who come here ILLEGALLY are troublemakers. They fill our prison systems and have committed every crime I listed above plus some. At the absolute very least, you cannot deny they are cheaters... They cheated their way here and I guess a lot of people out of jobs. That falls back on the employer though. As for the stuff about this being the native Indians land? Guess what, we won it, bought it and claimed it or what have you, as bad as that sounds, its true. How can I be racist? I've dated a girl born and raised in Mexico. The majority of my friends are Hispanic. I speak Spanish. Poorly, but I can be understood and understand it. I think we are probably in agreement on a lot of the issues but I came across really crappy. My apologies.

If we showed up here and "won it" from the aboriginals fair and square, I guess that means the illegals are here trying to win it from the white devil fair and square too, doesn't it? Thats as far as I'm willing to throw my self under this bus, hahaha.

Default good natured debate

Pay taxes and follow the constitution... isn't it a simple situation... If you're not a tax payer contributing to society (not pilfering from it, although many of our own citizens do not abide by this) then follow the proper regulatory restrictions on a macro level regardless of who you are, where you come from, or what side of the fence you ride...

P.S. i'm always in for a good natured debate. As long as everyone involved is mature and educated... everyone benefits

This is a social website. We all share F150s in common which brings us together. Its only human nature to talk about other things that interest us. Otherwise how the heck do we get to know eachother? The thread should stay on topic though........

Its fine thanks for the apology. Illegals in the construction industry is a major problem throughout our country. illegals dont directly take our jobs per say.......what they do is work for shoddy contractors who win contracts with insanely low bids. these contractors then are able to do the jobs because they use employees that make very low wages and have no health insurance. In other instances they even bid "prevailing wage" jobs in which all the contractors have to pay workers the same wage package that is usually based on the union wage for that trade in that area. the shoddy contractor w illegals has a huge unfair advantage because they have NO intention on paying there illegal employees prevailing wage.

i could go on and on but i wont. These are just some examples of how illegals directly effect my job. By opening up the borders and allowing these workers to come in we could then tax them and get them on "paper" which would take away alot the unfair advantage.

For the record we didn't buy America from the NATIVE Americans we committed genocide by slaughtering, raping and destroying one of the most beautiful and peaceful civilization/cultures to ever exist. Best part of it all is that our society wont even acknowledge the fact. Instead we make ourselves feel better by apologizing for slavery and having black history month.......like african americans were the natives to this country. In the meantime we tuck the indians away on drug infested wastelands we call reservations. then we portray them as tomahawk weilding savages in cartoons and history books like the millions of people and bison we killed were a figment of our imagination.
