[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, PP. They can't possibly all be here legally.[/quote]

These are people who I admire [b] -- Criminals?? [/b]--- can you imagine having to leave your home/family/country and risking your life with the hope of finding a menial, back-breaking job in a country where people insult you and where you don't speak the language?  That's courage in my book [b]That's saying F You to another country's laws in mine -- [/b]and frankly, most of us are so soft we couldn't do the work or go the distance that these people have [b]-- I did that work as a preteen and teen because I was raised in a farm community. Sorry you're so soft.[/b] .  You say you support "family values"???? well, it's the essence of "family values" to put your life on the line by moving to a foreign country so that you can provide food for your children.  [b]Illegal activity=family values, really? [/b]

Go let your heart bleed somewhere else. We're in incredible debt because of these louts, and people like you who support their actions. [/quote]

We just had an addition put on our house and we noticed that the Hispanic guys came early and left late, while the White (rednecks) came at 10:30 and left at 4pm, sometimes earlier, or not at all when there was <gasp> the threat of rain.  Hispanics are hard-working, how can that be bad?[/quote]

I worked construction, and I agree.  As a general rule the Hispanic immigrants are extremely hard working.  Of course, often their kids don't have the same work ethic since they've grown up in relative comfort in the US.  These kids graduate HS at a MUCH lower rate than children of native parents and attend college at a much lower rate as well.  Google MS-13; this is a problem brought directly from illegal immigration.

Someone brought up the lower wages that immigrants are willing to take for work and the positive effect is has on what we pay for goods and services.  People also complain that these jobs pay so little that the people who have them are eligible for government services.  Their kids generally need more help in school which also costs.  This money for services is coming from somewhere, and it's not from the guys working for $6 an hour under the table at a construction site, so to say unilaterally that illegal immigration helps the pocketbook is untrue.

Someone also mention that these immigrants deserve the job more than the lazy Americans they replace.  Great, all for a meritocracy, but what do you think these "lazy" Americans do?  They generally stay unemployed.  Would most people here be OK if corporations started illegally bringing in skilled workers from other countries to do your jobs for less, and the state/government turned a blind eye?  It's all great when it's jobs that you don't want right?[/quote]
