How is it possible for people who are working illegally to be covered by American unions? How is it possible that they are not fired and their employers not fined for hiring illegals instead of Americans?

Another thing I've noticed: Whenever I see a presidential candidate on television, taking questions from the audience, no one from the audience ever asks them about their position on illegal immigration. This doesn't make sense, since one of the leading concerns of Americans is illegal immigration. It appears that questions have been selected, beforehand, according to topic, and that all questions on illegal immigration have been censored out of the political campaigns. So much for democracy.

Start writing your legislators, people.
Hey wait a minute here, that cannot be right.....
They only DO THE JOBS NOBODY WANTS?

I think its all about money. Those who can profit more and more always have looked for a way to get close to having slaves. Well, they have found their source. It is really sad.

We need to come up with a way to modernize the fruit and vegetable industry. We need to find the cottongin of the agricultural industry. Corps would love this. No one gets sick, transmits e.coli, etc.
Since Americans can't get those jobs, nor can Americans live off them, let's beat them at their own game.

Because it is really better than what they had in Mexico, believe it or not.

The Mexican govt is corrupt, and is sitting on a lot of money.

The Three Amigos in bed together are: The US Govt, US Business, and Mexican Govt.

Normally I would agree with you but I would say that $22/hr is not poverty. Do you see something wroing with that picture?

What does this post mean exactly? Since Americans can't get which jobs? And beat who at what game? Is that what "we" are calling it nowadays...a game?
