    More than 1/5 of the population is speaking a foreign tongue as their primary language. This points to the fact that we've got an immigration problem. Long past time to close the gates, and keep them closed for several decades, if not permanently.


    What’s the problem, excatly. If they are contributing members of society we need them.
    The US doesn't need more unskilled labor. The US doesn't need more immigrants. It needs less of both.
    It needs more of both as long as there are open and available jobs.

    Those jobs can be filled by unemployed socialists like @TheKobeStopper

    They not not contributing members if their allegiance is not to America. There is only room for Americans here. It's always been that way. America first. My grandparents were immigrants speaking a foreign language but learned english as quickly as possible and if you asked who or what they were the answer was Americans!

    Of course that number should be smaller since there is 22 to 40 million illegals here but the roundups are coming.

    Unemployment is at historic lows (thanks Trump!). Everyone I talk to needs workers. Skilled and unskilled. Of course the media tells us the economy sucks, but that’s not reality.
    Our struggles with hiring is bordering on the absurd.

    I call into question the stats that say 1/5 don't speak English at home. I would believe 1/5 know a language other than English with most being a second language.

    That being said, I agree with Mike, WGAF.

    Again, they can hire their unskilled labor from the large pool of unemployed socialists. Two birds with one stone. Give these morons jerbs to support themselves and they won't have the time to attend antifa rallies or agitate for socialist revolution.

    We could use good people. Not currently looking for dirt farmers who can't speak English

    But @CirrhosisDawg may be hiring
