I see nothing wrong with living 10 to a house by the way (with enough room)

I wonder if building larger homes on LI will start to become a trend? Build larger homes on the cheap.

LOL “cheap” and “large house” are about as much of an oxymoron as you can get on LI. Never happen.

Cheaply built, that's a guarantee, with very few exceptions.

I think you meant poorly built which is a reflection of quality. Cheaply built is cost, in which you are actually disagreeing with the quoted statement.

No, I meant cheaply. But to your point, yes, they are also poorly built. You can go away now. You have a real need to always be right. Find someone else.

They are exploited for their labor with little to no recourse, so that we can enjoy the "American" way of life.

Since you brought up legal, are you aware of the Jewish marriage? Whereby a couple is married in faith but not legally at City Hall? This affords the woman and all her children a lot of free ****/services/monies, while paying no taxes. This would be ok, but not illegal immigrants that work and pay taxes?

Only bring it up because I'd like to know whether it is free **** vs illegal that you are really against.



Bingo...

It's Cinco de mayo. Bars packed. Tip your local restaurant that employs illegals.

Which side of the fence are we on today, Afrique? Illegals are the backbone of our service industry, or illegals are being exploited by business owners? Surely a higher-end restaurant such as Besito, which charges $25 for guacamole, could pay higher wages and attract citizen labor, such as the high percentage of black Americans out of work?

You don't think work ethic and profit has nothing to do with it?
It's the Employers who are making the choice to hire people that work for peanuts and who negotiate for nothing....

What makes you assume that they want American workers period? Why pay 15+ when you can pay whatever they will take.

Would you send your wife to go wash cars?

It's not like cars didn't get washed before Pedro and his ten million cousins showed up. How is it that the United States survived for almost 200 years without the well-renowned Mexican work ethic? Latin America must be an economic powerhouse, what with the hundreds of millions of little Horatio Algers they're churning out.

Yikes, what an insulting position to take. I guess black men must be extremely lazy, given that they have the highest rate of unemployment - one in ten are out of work right now. I bet some of them would kill for the chance to wash cars.

Incidentally, the idea that illegal immigrants are working for pennies is ridiculous. Many are making well over the minimum wage, such as those working jobs in construction. They're certainly not being paid any less than other people working the same jobs in places like the service industry. These are jobs that Americans used to work, and it should return to that, if force by necessary. Start hanging business owners from lamp posts and the rest of them will get the message pretty quick.
