Not me. I buy strawberries from whoever sells them for the least. If hiring illegals saves me a few cents, line 'em up!

If we're lucky, the money I save will be distributed elsewhere in the economy, stimulating job growth in non-strawberry-picking sectors.

Rightly or wrongly; this website is privately owned------hell, even I received a written warning over something that was borderline at worst.

As for keeping a lid on flagrantly incendiary posts: I 'self police' myself.

Are you talking about open season on Illegal Immigrants? Interesting It does not surprise me, but I don't think you would like the outcome.

Which in turn sends your dollars to China. Paying the absolute bottom price has its consequences.

What are the consequences besides saving tons of money a year? China depends on the U.S, The U.S depends on China. If one fails, so does the other.

well what can i say i am iligal here and i has ben called from about 25 companies after filling out many forms of work, and i am not talking about 8, 9 or 7 dollars hourly i am talking about 12 hourly and up and in none of them you have to be expert, trained . I did not get anyone becouse i do not have the number you have you just have to use the internet and start filling up forms. i did like 150 in about 2 weeks and i have always the same inconvenient so any of those 25 jobs can be your 12 and up guys what are you doing with your number, get up??? build your credits, save money, buy the car you like, the house you like anything here, alaska, canada, irak( i was going to go there but they wanted the number) a lot of opportunities. you can go to the corner of your house and found a job there i have to drive my old car every days praying for the damn engine and all the things becouse i do not have any family here who can help me. i pay rent, bills and averything alone the damn gas is killing me and probably i am going to lose it lollllllllllllllllllllllllll. you are not thinking about what you have you are thinking about what you want only, do not give up..... blue, red and stars is a powerful symbol wherever you go.... do not lose it. politicians, no politicians, black, white, yellow, green who care?? what you have inside is the important think. do not wati somebody else fix your problems, you can get some help yes ... but do your own too for you and your family. for me is ok i am paying the price for to be like this but for you...and no offense.. there is not excuse. Learn or read if you think you need it but be always more today or next year dose not metter. see you next time

My niece's nanny is an American citizen, but was born in Russia. So she is an American doing a job that people associate mostly with illegal immigrants from Latin America.

A good friend of mine is desperate for work but can't get a handyman type job because of the torrent of illegal labor here in San Diego. He's going to lose his house.
