By "getting the most out of alliance", I mean that since it's unrealistic that we'll abandon them (come on now, you know why) that we should get the most out of them. They are very smart people. Innovators in Military Technology. I know Libs love trashing Israel because of Palestine (and other shit, starting wars, etc) but you have to understand that with the lobbyists in this country, they are our allies for life now. So you might as well put the squeeze on them, because getting rid of Israel is not an option. Now neg rep my comment Wu.
The funny things is I was going to give you positive rep on this one, but you asked so...
This is why I neg repped you.

I guess you took a poll, because that has never been the case in my experience. Most Mexicans I know are halfway decent human beings who have some ability to empathize with what illegal immigrants go through. I can think of maybe of couple of people I've met who hate illegal immigrants, and in their particular cases it really came off as illusory superiority. Some people don't like to be reminded where they came from...
People always use the taking jobs excuse. I won't call you a liar, just show me some objective empirical evidence that prove Americans would do the jobs most illegal immigrants do. I know every year they try to replace illegals with Americans, millions of dollars worth of fruit end up rotting away because people won't take the jobs. I'm only speaking for Washington state, also those jobs pay pretty damn well, and people still won't do them. They even tried getting prisoners to do it, which is kind of pointless at that point, since that's not putting any money in the hands of regular Americans.

Bullshit? Don't fall for it? You mean don't be a horrible human being, that thinks all "wetbacks" are horrible pieces of shit? No one said they are always great people, but they are people. I don't care if you want to round up every illegal, send them back, and them build a wall even a Mongol horde couldn't get through. That's your prerogative. However to "get sick" of people telling you that maybe, it might not be a bad idea, if you were a little compassionate... really? Since when did trying to be a decent person become such a burden, that for people to even suggest it is upsetting to you?
