Well . . . there are less and less people who speak English where I live. That makes doing business extremely difficult, but it makes division and hatred thrive.

The Biblical model is: one must agree to live according to the values and laws of those they wish to live among.

This has been discarded, and we clearly the results of that. People refuse to integrate.

In fact, the onslaught is intentionally geared to overthrow.

My grandson is a master industrial electrician. Since January, he has worked several jobs, the longest was two weeks. Up until last summer, he had continuous work six days a week 10 to twelve hours a day. Two of the last few jobs were being staffed with immigrants at about half the pay rate of licensed electricians.

If you buy a house in Florida, the only qualified person on construction crews is the immigrant boss of a work force of immigrants. The boss is unlikely to be licensed.

If you are moving to Florida, check the work sites of the builder.

Less immigrant labor in US contributing to price hikes

Click to expand...
It's almost like a bait trap to lead gullible people to think we must allow and entitle llegals for the sake of price cuts.

No shortage of illegals in my area. They shop with rolls of cash that could choke a horse, have all the credit cards on the market, and claim not to habla when in the wrong.

The attack against Trump, whfn he had the courage to detain members of the invasion force of illegals during his term in office, especially when separating kids from their parents was a law signed and also enforced by Obama.

I wonder, when there are laws allowing arrest and prosecution of illegals, and the police forces don't enforce them, and Congress violates them, is there a clause that allows civilians to act?

A coin with two sides and an edge to balance on. Personally it's a challenge to be able to learn another language other than English. Apparently English is one of the most difficult languages to learn so it's not easy imagining what the scenario would be like the other way around.

As Christian's we don't see people in terms of which border they are supposed to be within, but in terms of whether they are souls needing a relationship with a loving saviour. So.... if it's possible to witness to the imigrants about God it would be a noble starting point. The politicians and police are there to deal with what concerns there may be about illegal imigrants, in the mean time though it is good for us to follow the parting instructions we have been given by the head of the kingdom to which we are registered citizens; Go into all the world and preach.

LOL! People entering the US need to learn English. Do you understand how many countries are represented right now at the southern border? As it is, many do not come here wanting to fit in. They will simply live in little communities within the US and do whatever it is they did before coming here.

Legal immigrants are another story.

this is one reason why we prefered to purchase an "older" home (though we're not in Florida- just the fact that the way they were built and who was allowed to build them then- standards were higher too)

Decades ago (in the US) it was considered RUDE to speak ANYTHING in public other than English.
If one didn't speak English and must speak another language they were to have an interpreter, and WHISPER to them.
Now, you can't hardly walk into a store without it sounding like you're in the midst of the Tower of Babel after it fell, and all tongues were mixed.

right down the road from my house, there has been a 50 small house sub division built in about 8-10 months.

i saw them being constructed on a daily basis, and they are mostly plywood , not much solid lumber.

ain't no way i would live in those cardboard cutouts.

Those that are successfully sneaking into the USA are heading straight for Government support programs at the expense of the taxpayers and the budget. Plus, the current administration is giving them all the baby formula, leaving a shortage for American families/children. Illegals first and American families second or not at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cost is many $billions$. No wonder millions of illegal aliens are streaming in to our country. Free stuff for all illegals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I didn't know that. I have seen a Wal-mart I used to shop at sometimes, change from a nice place to shop to a place I do not want to shop anymore.

Once they get into the system, many act like it was their right, when it should be a privilege.

Well, Covid is contributing to all the delays in the world which are related to humans not working like they were before.
‘I mean the restaurant industry took the biggest hit during covid because nobody went there and nobody wanted to get infected by covid if they worked in the kitchen or other areas.

I disagree on your stated version of the 'Biblical model'. If this were so, the Israelites would not have been welcome to continue their practices, language and customs while in Egypt. Had full integration been required in Jesus's time, there would have been no 'gentiles' for the Apostles to preach to; they would have been assimilated into the Jewish society. Etc etc.
