I'm locking this because it went off the rails. Y'all want to talk politics, we have a community for that.
- By 'dealing with' you mean play on the golf courses they maintain, eat at the restaurant is they cook at, enjoy the landscaping they maintain around your house (that they built), spend nights in hotels they cook, clean and maintain, drive on roads they built and reap the benefits of the taxes they pay without any returns?
  Is that what you mean? sips champagne
  
  So what you want is a second class of citizens, a lower class that serve you, the upper class? That you can underpay and abuse? Is that really the way you want to go?

  See: the article
- deal with illegals
  You mean be the one putting them in cages? Running the ~~concentration camps~~ immigrant detention centers? Using their legal status as leverage for the modern equivalent of indentured servitude?
  It turns out people aren't very nice when they're being abused.
  champagne communists
  So let's stop speaking in euphemisms. When you say "illegals" that is explicitly genocidal language, little different than the usual 'insects', 'vermin', etc.
  So why don't we just kill them all? Just set up a militarized zone on the border and shoot anything that moves?
- Turns out, people who hate illegals are idiots.
