"The political affiliation of the local sheriff is a huge issue to you."

You as well, obviously.

Are you going to admit the two parties' rhetoric is vastly different on this issue?

" I don't know really."

So why did you represent as much?

" I'll ask again, where are we expecting local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration policy?"

Clearly nowhere.

It's almost like no one is interested in attacking the root of the problem.

It must not be as big a problem as one party is claiming it is.

" Neither is the local sheriff."

Are you saying your local sheriff has no legal authority to arrest someone he knows is in your town illegally?

" either you didn't know democrats are in on the exact same conspiracy or you just don't care."

OR ...

One party wants to kidnap and deport, and the other leans more toward a pathway to citizenship.

Have you noticed the difference?

"It's not just about republican hypocrisy, obviously."

Not exclusively, no. But Dems aren't the ones trying to kidnap and deport.

" And yet most illegals live in 20 blue cities."

And you are assuming none of them cross into a different county to work. None.

"Why shouldn't the people make use of the slave labor?"

Ahhh. We've gotten to the central issue.

"For instance, no one pays CASH, I give him a check which the system has enabled gladly accepts"

Your answer remains to break the law. And your justification remains others do it.

" You're getting much closer to admitting what this is really about to you."

Which is what?

" Anywhere?"

No.

"You understand why I'm asking, right?"

You understand why the answer is "no", right?

"You're making it all about the political affiliation of that sheriff."

It could be the Chambers of Commerce. In your county, for example, there's A REASON the Sheriff doesn't constantly bust the known hirers. I may not know what EXACTLY that is, but there has to be a reason. I've got a few good guesses, and they all involve money.

But ultimately, you're also missing the larger point: I'm not against the immigrants, I'm not even against the hirers, in the big picture. I'm against the hypocrisy. Folks pretend they want to address the illegal immigration issue, but then NEVER start frog - marching the hirers.

Frankly, I think the good, honest workers should have some path to staying in America. Instead, we've got screechers and slurpers, unwilling to address the root, complaining about immigrants who never affected them at all.

" You can't run around claiming the system is locked down with IRS form"

I'm not about to do that. All I'm doing is claiming that you're breaking a law. And doing it knowing you're breaking the law.

Your response seems to be "they can't find me".

Even if they don't "find you", that doesn't mean you're not breaking the law.

" You really want that the be the case, because it's all you have left to argue with."

So you're going to argue the opposite point?!?

Go right ahead, dumfuq.

"either say that's the case or not."

My apologies; I was assuming some basic level of comprehension from you.

".do you understand democrats win elections in this country or not?"

Of course.

And I realize immigrants are everywhere.

"we can concede the employers are republicans but you're making it all about the local sheriff"

No, I'm not. I'm also making it about hirers, and landlords, and insurers, and folks who casually look the other way while paying their lawn guys in cash.

Let me boil this down again: deporting an illegal worker simply puts up a "NEW JOB OPENING!" sign.

Anyone who claims they want to attack the problem, and doesn't do it by arresting hirers...

...doesn't really want to attack the problem.

Hell, it took over 24 hours for you to admit THE ROOT.

" working jobs that are outside your 1099 system.."

The IRS will tell you there is no such thing.

All the more reason to arrest the hirers, right?

And wouldn't you be deported, without citizenship, if your tax evasion ever came to light?

" They would and they did, moving in or living around legal immigrants."

Riiiiiight. And they did it with no hope of getting a job, ever. And if there were no jobs to be had, well ... that wouldn't deter ANYONE.

Sounds even dumber when I type it out.

"Same with Democrats"

Sorry, wrong.

Dems were ready to sign the Langford Bill.

Trump unilaterally blew up the deal, specifically to keep it as a campaign issue.

Let me guess: you frequent "news" sites that don't believe you can handle the truth.

" I would bet it's possible that more illegals work in BLUE area than Red areas."

And I would bet that the hirers are largely Republicans.

I mean, we're always told it's Republicans who own businesses, right?

" but it's essential I understand your level of comprehension first."

I've made my point abundantly clear. I've also said, at least a dozen times, that deporting an illegal merely hangs up a new "job opening" sign. Meanwhile, frog"marching the hirers, going up the ladder every time, would make a real impact.

Anyone actually wanting to get to the central problem, must attack the central problem.

But the fact of the matter is, Republicans want the issue for a wedge ... While refusing to actually attack the main cause.

Pretty basic concept, right?

Now explain YOUR level of comprehension.

" Do you realize there are democrats who win elections in this country?"

Not in the places with meatpacking plants.

And not in your town. You live in a Republican county, with a Republican sheriff.

"The jobs are the main reason."

Look out.

When I pointed out that fact, I got attacked from all sides.

" If he hires immigrants, he's the entire problem."

No, not the entire problem.

Just the central problem. You know ... Like all the experts already agree. So much so, the current administration took down the admission on their own website.

Meanwhile, your theory still rests on the concept they'd be coming here, even if no one gave them jobs.

"If he hires an illegal immigrant, no one's gonna arrest him for it anyway!!!"

First, I never said that, so the quotation marks are bogus.

Second, this is the point where I remind you: you've already admitted knowing exactly who and where the illegals work in your town, and admitted if you know, the Republican Sheriff ABSOLUTELY knows.

I've offered my theory on why this happens. No one has debunked the theory yet.

In fact ... You've proven my theory true.
