And by undercutting American wages? I think not.

Besides: Mexico is not poor-------its problem is the ghastly wealth gap between rich and poor people.

I see no reason to subsidize that dysfunctional 'culture' by 'allowing' the above lawbreakers from SOB a free skate here in the USA.

So we should just let big business screw over the American worker even more than they already have? Haven't enough jobs been outsourced and offshored already?

You do realize that the corporations won't be satisfied until EVERY American worker is living on $200 a week, don't you?

Perhaps gorgeet is a lackey of one of said criminal organizations-----read that outfits who knowingly hire illegals over Americans/green card holders.

I don't know WHAT gorgeet is, but I'm fairly certain it isn't complimentary...

Actually - if you read my posts, you would see that I DO have "concern" for others. I have "concern" for those who decided to come the the United States LEGALLY - I have "concern" that the illegal sympathizers, such as yourself, are, in fact, showing disrespect for those here LEGALLY.

So - I suppose it is a matter of perception: I have concern for those here legally while you have concern for those who break the law.

You may have noticed that most of the pro illegal immigrant sympathizers intentionally lump legal immigrants in with the illegals-----in an attempt to 'throw off the dogs'.

Gees, if every group gets a special treatment, do I get to collect from every country my ancestors came from?
