I agree with these. Who wouldn't?

I dunno about the other three. Neutral on them I guess.

As far as I know, Mexican food is still among the top around the world. Dont know what this has to do with illegal immigrants. Though, I dont like buying food that says it is "Mexican authentic" but it is actually Americanized Mexican food. It's got to be authentic.

I couldnt agree more with the first one. As an American, I personally choose NOT to return to work in the fields. If there is someone else that wants to do it, fine but I doubt it will be another American.

It doesn't have to be an American. There are visas available for farmers to gain LEGAL foreign workers for those jobs.

I believe the US and it's tax payers have the right to decide who works our fields and who doesn't not a bunch of people that can simply sneak across.

How insulting towards Black Americans!

Illegal Aliens and the struggle for the civil rights of blacks are COMPLETELY seperate issues.. Black folks were brought to the States from Africa AGAINST their will and sold into slavery (in many cases by their own people), while Illegal Aliens CHOOSE to cross the border into the U.S. illegally each and every year.. by comparing the two, you are trivializing the historic struggles of Black Americans..

Even more insulting is when the plight of Illegal Aliens is compared with the Holocaust..

You make the decision to support illegal alien labor every time you purchase fresh produce or meat at the grocery store. The odds are pretty good that most of your grocery store purchases have been picked or processed by illegal aliens.

If you want to practice what you preach you would probably need to buy locally from farmer’s markets—directly from the farmer. Do you do that for all of your food needs? I didn’t think so. It would cost too much to practice what you preach.

I'd rather shop at Wal-Mart than many small businesses AS many small "community oriented" businesses hire NOTHING but Illegal Aliens.. At least at WAL-MART one may see a bit more diversity..
