How about
this article from the San Francisco Chronicle, a very liberal paper from a very liberal city.
Just because they are US citizens does not mean they are not dirt bags involved in cross border smuggling and not some innocent by standers. Not enough information to determine either way.
and with your "tards" intro I really want to say get your cup so I can pour you some STFU but that would be mean on my part, so I won't. :shocked:
Thread hi-jack.
But what would the cost to the average American be if there was not a ready supply of cheap labor? I spent this last weekend traveling in southern California, the maid service at the hotel was of mexican orgin, the bus staff & some of the wait staff at the resturants were of mexican orgin (probably the cooks and bottle washers also), the grounds keepers of the resort properties were of mexican origin. How much more would the cost of my trip been if they were not of suspicious citizenship? It is not just southern California, but the whole US. Do you go out to dinner? Do you stay at hotels and motels? Then you are contributing.
Need the house painted, re modeled whatever? Get three bids and go with the lowest correct? Of course it is human nature to go with the least expensive. The white owner of the firm looks good enough, speaks well, is energetic, then the workers show up, all Mexican or central American, listening to Mariachi radio. It happens.
So there is the American middle class quandry with illegal immigration. What are we willing to fore go? How much more are we willing to pay for lunch? to have the house roofed, lawns mowed? How many on this website that speak loudly from their terminal will eat lunch at a McDonald's, Burger Barn, Chili's or where ever that has a back room with immigrant dish washers?
The rich don't care, the poor are struggling enough and can't afford to care, the middle class want to have the good life and enjoy the wealth of consumption of $5 value meals but yet complain the loudest about illegals.
I mow my own lawn, rake my own leaves because the guy in the beat up pick-up truck w/expired tags that stops by the house everytime I am out there sweating my butt off and offers to do it for $25 per week just doesn't speak good enough English for me. Yet the neighbors, middle class white guys that complain about illegal immigrants sure have a nicer looking yard and spend most weekends at the lake.
I don't get it.
Rant out.
