I haven't observed that at all -- and I work with many Mexicans. In reality only some Mexicans work hard, some are completely lazy. I haven't seen where Mexicans work any harder than black or white or hispanic, or asian Americans.

In fact -- I know that with many of the work crews they have to have a foreman keeping their eyes on them at all times or they'll walk away with things, sleep on the job, smoke dope on the job or whatever else. They'll hire one Mexican that is more dependable to stand and watch over the others -- making sure they don't pull anything.

Do you or can you, understand the difference??
Right, I once met an illegal Canadian here. I am sure people like you would be outraged by his "illegal" presence in your neighborhood. I can see people like you protesting and telling him to go back to Canada LOL.

Thank you, Greatday

A PhD is not required to comprehend the term ILLEGAL!

That's no different than a Mexican illegal who speaks fluent Engish -- they are just harder to detect. It happens -- people just assume they are "chicanos" or Spanish-surnamed Americans.

Actually, yes, many want them to go back also. If they are stopped, and found to be illegally in this country, they should be deported -

I hope that clears up any misperceptions you may have had

Yes -- horray to employer sanctions -- long overdue.

It's time to start running the employers out from this country -- they can pack up and move out with their illegals.

I've worked with many Mexicans and I'm actually related by blood to a number as well, and this is news to me. Most I've met have mocked the managers and owners.

The problem isn't 'one' illegal alien. 100,000+ people coming over our southern border every month IS the problem. Whether that many came from Canada, China, or wherever, the sheer volume of people IS the issue and if it was all about skin color don't you think the border would've been sealed a long time ago?
