When my father was in construction, he never got breaks and only received a 30 minutes lunch break. He said he was better off not being apart of that union.

Last time I checked this was the United States of America, the greatest country in the world.

The implication however was clear¯that her father, and perhaps her mother, might be deported, and the poor child would be left behind.
Why would the child be left behind? Children of Mexican immigrants arnt allowed into Mexico?

If you were born here, you had all kinds of opportunities to study, if you opted for being a laborer of whatever trade, then you are exposed to competition from the bottom up, people that are likely more motivated.
This is a market economy, and only the most competitive survive. Migrant workers with their anchor babies assure us that there is an effort being made
for the earned money.
For this reason we may all forget that there are going to be any ammendments to the constitution, we need the migrant workers with their anchor babies!

I certainly do not 'need' a bunch of lawbreakers here illegally in my country.

The hammer is coming down to the illegals and their enablers.

If that annoys you so much; I am sure that you would be much happier outside the USA
