if you base an entire race of people off of the construction site representatives, then our whole country is doomed! construction sites, very often, harbor uneducated (read: ignorant) people from every group. i would definitely avoid making characterizations off of construction site workers altogether.

I guess I could go into LONG drawn out examples, but it is alot more than that. I have had experiences in my neighborhoods, schools, stores, driving.

i just find it amazing that i live in one of the most densely populated hispanic areas and i have had relatively zero trouble with ANY mexican people, illegal or otherwise! it seems to me that the people that hate them already find ways to create conflict.

yep you are right I go around trying to stir up trouble so they can retaliate against me....Oh and my son loves to get jumped and harrassed by people twice his size. Keep thinking that ,real easy to blame us when you are a supporter of illegals and dont want to accept the way a majority of them do, I too have lived in many different areas, some good some bad same crap happens, not everyday but weekly.If I truely thought they were all good people I would say so. And no I havent had any trouble with my legal neighbors and friends.

Most of the time, I see them getting treated like crap by Americans. They are already pouring your coffee, doing your lawn, cleaning garbage and making your hotel beds, no need to be an bigot about it.

Why do you think they take those jobs.. I see white, black, and every other color of people doing those same jobs, should they be treated differently? Should Hispanics be given special treatment because they perform these jobs, where the person of another color should not be? Who is being the bigot now?

What if I showed you a picture of Black People mowing lawns, or White people pouring coffee.. are you going to argue that these are not jobs they are willing to do? Are you going to make less of these people because this is there way of earning a living?

I'm just curious where your going with your above statement in the quoted area?

you exaggerate. this is pretty obvious. you cant know someone's immigration status by looking at them. your stories seem fake or at least twisted.

he's not bigoted. he's acknowledging that most illegals that get treated like crap are already working crap jobs. how many mexicans do you see as doctors, lawyers, ceos? definitely in the minority. whereas with these crap jobs, they are a much larger sect.

Yea and your stories of bliss among them seem very fake as well.
No exaggeration needed, they happened and I know it. Is that the best you can come up with?
