Its their use of the word illegal & we think it's people hiding in false basements from the Nazis but the reality is far from that.

Indeed. After all said individuals are often seen protesting for rights, can in some states gets driver's licenses, in-state discounts at state universities, etc.

Of course, in California the illegals/undocumented workers pay taxes.  They are just never going to see any of that money.

Goddamn, Tamas, you are ugly.

[Zanza]

California is DOOMED!

Wow, 2.3 trillion dollar was about 18% of the US GDP in 2005 and illegals were at most 5% or so of the US population in that year. They are the most productive workers in the history of mankind.

Our country was designed to be chaotic. It is what freedom is all about.

There is always that quote:

Americans are the only race which passed directly from barbarism to decadence without knowing civilization.

No idea who said it though.

Clemenceau, or so I have heard.

This is the country where the IRS wants you to pay taxes on your illegal drug money income. Doesn't care that it's illegal.

It's the same in here.  You have to pay GST&PST on your drug sales.

Clemenceau, or so I have heard.

Not him. Or if he did he never wrote it down.

Summary there is that it was originally about Russia but some newspaper person in France in the 30s changed it over to America.

The blurb didn't say that those companies accounting for 18% of GDP employed nothing but illegals.  One illegal mowing the grass at Apple would be enough. On the other hand the writer doesn't seem to understand profit.

OK. At least it isn't fake though.

[Valmy]

How is he living proof of that? He is still alive?

Anyway. Right. 99% of the time. What about that other 1%?

Anyway I hoped this would be a good look at shortcomings in police training and priorities as well processes for dealing with what to do with something bad does happen.

Instead it became this bizarre partisan fight where it seems we are presented with this false binary choice. So depressing.

The writer doesn't seem to understand math. If 1% of encounters between black people and police end up in violence the dead toll would probably be in the thousands.

It isn't the writer. The man pictured said that when interviewed.

Snopes says it's a real quote. Fair enough then.

Bribes, too.
