where is the outcry?

about illegals, it's stupid to close the fence after the cows got out....

Situational ethics is allowed here.

BTW, I don't expect my being offended to change anything -- nor do I expect the verbiage to change because of my being offended. But if there isn't a chance to evaluate what a person is saying without bowing down to the political correctness of today (and I have my opinion about that piece of work too) then that's just tough -- for the record political correctness is a scourge of and will be the death of democracy. I'll say what I think and if it is considered racist or bigoted then someone is barking up the wrong tree. I'll shut up now before I start getting even more angry about the whole racist/bigoted thing.

Yeah... I'm about tired of this little thing here.

There are low paying jobs which highly educated Americans aren't going to take but there are Americans out there who will do the jobs in this country.

Now... for them to take the jobs they may have to pay someone a wage above the measly pittance they pay migrant workers.

In other words... they may have to get legal with their pay.

The only reason people are interested in these workers is because they will work for almost nothing. They don't want them to succeed.... they don't want them to find the American dream. They want them to stay poor and enslaved.

The jobs that used to be considered entry-level jobs for teenagers are now already filled by people who intend to stay in those jobs long term and never move up the ladder...

Again - no one is saying don't come take part in the American dream -- we are saying if you are going to do this, do it legally -- or stay where you are.

As with any other law of any land....

If you do things illegally... you should be prepared to be treated as such.

I could also argue that this refusal to "move up the ladder" will lead to more separation between "classes" or economic brackets of people... we will end up with people that are very rich and people that are very poor if it continues.
