"Prodigal son", did you say? You're showing your ignorance of scripture. The prodigal in the parable left home voluntary. ET was kicked out of this "house". Just sayin'....

If you had been a little more observant...you would have noticed that ET's departure from here was "voluntary", as well. But then again...being more "observant" would have meant that you could no longer be the same old Boxcar that we all know and love.

The majority of illegals in this country enter legally and don't leave. I have never found any studies on the matter, but I would guess that those illegals are much more likely to take "American" jobs than the ones that walk across the southern border.

Wait?? so let me get this straight...."The majority of Illegals IN this country enter Legally"???

This article says two-thirds. I have seen other sources that say 55%. I'm guessing that precise numbers are hard to get because some illegals tend to be reluctant to discuss the matter.
What ever the truth is, it seems clear that visa over-stays are YUGE.

The majority of immigrants settling in the U.S. without authorization are first coming to the country legally, raising questions about the effectiveness of President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.
Crossing the border is not the way "the large majority of persons now become undocumented," the Center for Migration Studies (CMS) said in a recent report. Two-thirds of those who joined the undocumented population did so by entering with a valid visa and then overstaying their period of admission, the center reported.

So is there a fatted calf in ET's future?

You should ask PA, since he let him back in.

Clocker...some of the poster's here don't know what a "Green" card is and how it works...but pretty sure you and your sources are correct....many illegals were actually legal for a brief moment in time...

If you come in on a tourist visa or a green card, it is a lot easier to get a decent job and blend into society (and take "American jobs") than if you walk in across the desert border with the clothes on your back and a couple of jugs of water.
Which should we be more concerned about?
