They're leaving because they can't find work. Reading comprehension > *

and when the jobs come back? Will the citizens here jump in the returning jobs when the economy picks up again? There will always be lettuce to pick my friend. There will be emerging construction jobs. Abstract thinking > *

haha what?? He "bled the country dry" at $8 an hour? Are you drunk? The economy is bad here because massive corporations don't give a **** about American workers and send jobs overseas, among many other reasons; it has almost nothing to do with day laborers who make next to nothing.

I'd say that having a full time job, a wife, a wrx that I work on, a 53' caddy I'm building, a social life, and being part of a car club formed in 1946 would be a decent life.

I bet if I did a search I'd find out that you have started many many more useless threads than I have.


yes?

Are YOU drunk? You think he was making $8/hr? Illegals don't make minimum wage buddy, thats reserved for the legals we want to **** over. Anyone trying to blame out poor economy on one population is not the brightest though. Did you guys know that there are other countries in the world besides the good ol' US of A? Hmm, didn't Iceland (or was it Greenland?) go bankrupt? There's a GLOBAL economic situation, not just our national one.

But please, for those of you so bright to be able to pinpoint our economic crisis on ONE population, on ONE cause, please enlighten us with your knowledge and tell us how you arrived at that consensus.

I hope you realize that with a GDP of over $14 TRILLION, $25 billion is almost nothing.

I'm sorry, we can't ALL have a pimpreza.

Good point though. These people are pointing the finger at the mesicans for sending money over to mesico, while driving japanese cars. Yes, some of the money stays within the US, but its not a US based company.

I purposely used the income stated in the article:

For some immigrants, the experts say, the reasons for toughing out the U.S. economic recession outweigh the reasons for leaving, including:
• One or two days of work per month at $8 an hour is often better than what they can make back home
Obviously illegal immigrants would get paid significantly less--they just never stated how much less, and I didn't want to make up numbers.
