Illegals Protesting.........

[ORIGLS6]

Well put Jeff. I admit I have little sympathy for illegal aliens -- we're becoming infiltrated rapidly in our area -- .........but the treatment of the Native Americans is a whole different issue. They are TRUE Americans by most definitions, and look at what they've endured. Say what you want, but my feelings are very strong on this topic.

Coming to America to assimilate and become a part of our culture is one thing. Coming here to take land, hand-outs and to colonize is quite another.

And that's the point. Apparently some (how many,?) of these mexicans (and again, when we say mexicans, do we mean, gutalmalins(sp) hondorins, cubans etc etc) are looking to colonize into the california et al territories and annex them as a mexican state, "Aztlan". Scary thought, and one that is a constitutional threat!

This is what the national guard is for! Not Iraq. We need to have the guard augment the border patrol and stop this mess NOW!

In an article, they quoted a protestor as saying that they want to pay taxes, "Pay Tax today, Vote Tomorrow"!

What do they do at the job interview to get hired???smile and nod????

Yes, and they agree to work for $3.00 an hour, no questions asked. The smile and nod is their acknowledgment of our unquenchable hunger for cheap labor.

It's all about cheap.

They don't take any land, we sell it to them . (I think we took the land from Mexico, if memory serves.)

I've used this analogy here before but I think it clearly explains the problem of illegal labor:

Say you want a hole dug in your backyard for a new swimming pool. You call a local (American) building contractor. He arrives in his new $40,000 crew-cab pickup (yeah, it's got a Hemi) with $3,000 worth of chrome wheels and mud tires. The truck has a trailer hitch for towing his $30,000 bass fishing boat. He usually puts his four dirt bikes in the bed when he goes on vacation and tows the four ATVs on a trailer. If duck season opens when he's half-way through digging the hole for your pool he will leave the job and go duck hunting for a week. (There is a clause in the contract that you missed that says he shall be allowed to leave the job site for opening day of duck, deer, salmon, pheasant, etc., etc. season.) His fee for digging the pool is $3,000, not including a disposal fee for the mound of dirt.

Juan Martinez, an illegal alien from Mexico, will arrive in his 1975 Datsun short-bed pickup with his wife at his side and his four kids will be sitting in the bed. He brought six shovels, one for himself, one for Juanita, his wife, and four more for his children, ranging in age from 15 down to 6. They will all dig. His fee for digging your pool is $500 cash and they will not stop digging until the job is finished. You'll pay him cash, he will say "Gracias, muchas gracias!" and leave. If he hurts himself while digging, his family will double their efforts and finish the job--no OSHA claim to sweat over.

So who will you hire?

By the way, the American contractor will have hired Juan and his family to dig the hole and pocket $2,700 bucks. He will have paid Juan only $300 to do the job after threatening to report Juan to the INS.

Illegal labor is like crack cocaine. We know we shouldn't use it but it's JUST SO DAMN CHEAP!

[/ QUOTE ] Its a double edge sword, either you hire Juan Martinez, or you pay the guy with the crew cab, and HE contracts Juan Martinez for you as the general contractor. Either way Juans going to get the job.

I used to work in South west Wilmington De and these people DO NOT CARE about the UNited States. They wave their own flag, speak their own language, and get frustrated with you when YOU don't speak spanish. They send their hard earned cash back home to their family members in Mexico or wherever they are from. Most don't pay taxes. The towing yard i work at, most of our tows are from illegals with no identification, no insurance, and out of state tags.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, they work hard, they want to stay because the pay (to them) is so great, and i'll trade every last lazy welfare american for every hard working illegal that wants a life here in America.

MOST pay taxes??? How does an illegal alien file and pay taxes with the IRS? I think its safe to say NO illegal pays income taxes. If they want to become citizens a tour in Iraq as an american should proceed any other paperwork.
