This is why they hate Trump so much. They've spent trillions creating problems and telling us these problems are intractable, but please do keep us in office and we'll keep trying.
Trump will solve the intractable problems and prove they lie.
We have a construction project happening at our house. The lead laborer is a delightful man from Honduras. He told me that he came here illegally 7 years ago, walking across the border because there was no work at home. He said that he thinks he will have to go back to Honduras to get his papers in order, then will return legally. I hope he is successful. He's a very good man who loves the Lord.
However I've always had a problem with the illegals doing skilled work under the table. Not only do they skate on taxes (and therefore cost us even more since we have to pay for their welfare), but a lot of them don't have the correct licensing and/or training. How many houses have electrical, plumbing, or foundation issues after construction companies hired these people because they were cheap? They may be fast and do decent work, but nobody can prove it since there is no paper trail.
Case in point - I had an addition built on to my old house, with a full bathroom, an indoor hot tub room, and a bedroom for my daughter. The manager (without my knowledge) hired an illegal to put my shower in and plumb the pipe for the shower head. It looked great, but since the guy was so short the shower head was right at 5'. I'm 6' 3". I made the manager fix it since I'd like to actually be able to wash my hair too.
I will say they tend to be strong and work hard. Years ago I rented a Terramite (bulldozer-looking thing) to dig out big limestone boulders that were poling through the dirt and grass in my back yard. One of them was so big and heavy that when I picked it up with the scoop (and with all 4 legs down and stabilizing the terramite) it tipped the whole thing forward with me in it. I let it down easily and stopped to figure out what to do.
My wife saw 4 short but stocky Mexican landscapers (maybe 5' tall each) working on a field across the street and asked them if they wanted the limestone for free. They could break it up and use it for landscaping. They came over and the 4 of them picked it up by hand, carried it out front, and put it on their trailer. It was heavy enough it tipped my equipment and they carried it like they were moving a couch. Crazy...
I am experiencing a similar situation with my daughter who has a hard working immigrant doing landscaping work for her. He is a wonderful person who says he sends his earnings back to Mexico for his family. I asked him if he was here legally. He wasn't. He's terrified he won't be allowed to come back. I advised him to go back, get his papers in order and apply. We even offered character references, if needed to help. Its this kind of immigrants that we welcome.
Self deporting with enough capital to live like kings for awhile. I would guess all the smart ones saved up the freebies so they could go home where things are so much cheaper.
More than likely. We were gonna be screwed one way or the other. The money is already gone. I just want them gone, as horrible as that makes me feel just saying it.
I'm curious to know if the illegals are from El Salvadore or Argentina or where ever, will Mexico allow them to enter and pass through? Or will Mexico stop them at the border and deny their crossing of Mexico to get back home.
The new president of Mexico wants us to only deport the Mexicans into Mexico. She wants all others sent directly to their home countries. I saw that on the news today (OAN).
Or they don't want to deal with being rounded up and put in a detention center for who knows how long before being sent home. Going home voluntarily seems to be less hassle. 😁
.. so Mexico won't be charged for them then. Can't wait to see what DOGE can do, we desperately need to cut back on all these government programs that steal all our money and give it to people that do nothing.
Good. Self-deportation.
Self deport and avoid the rush.
We don't know how to stop the invasion!!!

Trump: stop coming here
They stop coming.
Wow, much hard, such difficult

I'll pray for him. He's the kind of immigrant we want. But doing it the right way matters.
I get it, and hope he makes it ok.

He should help develop Honduras.
Dammit, amigo, now I have to get a real job!
What, pumping out babies every 9 months and collecting welfare isn't real work?

I would estimate the Hispanic population in my area is down 50% since the election.
That's awesome!
Housing shortage solved.
Housing bubble popped
Only reason they'd do this is because they fear being sent back to a specific location. Such as one where they are fleeing justice.
Or they don't want to deal with being rounded up and put in a detention center for who knows how long before being sent home. Going home voluntarily seems to be less hassle. 😁
About those money cards they got from the U.S., can they take that card and spend in other countries or does it only work in the U.S.?
That's a good question. But at this point, it's gone anyway. If they have any money on it and use it getting out of USA, it's money well spent imo.
Right, it can help them leave and resettle in their home country. Modify the cash cards so they only work for transportation purchases in the US, lol.
.. so Mexico won't be charged for them then. Can't wait to see what DOGE can do, we desperately need to cut back on all these government programs that steal all our money and give it to people that do nothing.
Just knowing Trump's coming is all it took. Where's the "Easy" button?
Eso fue fácil
