I've been thinking...those guys get $15/hr...I should stand out there and swoop some jobs from them but my dad says i'd get beat like a pinata lol
Edit: as i finally actually read the posts above mine lol...yeah they are pretty much set at $15/hr. My parents bought some a few months ago.

Comparing $800 billion bailouts that were provided as a gift to failed companies to $25 billion that was earned by immigrants through back-breaking hard labor is disingenuous, and an invalid comparison--they actually worked for their money and earned it.
**** the corporations, **** the bailouts, and **** illegal immigrants too. I'm just saying there are worse offenders than them, is all.
yeah he gave up his career though thats what i asked

Him and his family will live like royalty in guatemala off the money he made here over the past few years. I wonder if he questions why the economy is so bad here? Maybe because people like him bled the country dry sending our money over to feed his 13 kids in guatemala.
So you were witness to the employment and payment of illegals? Why didn't you call INS to secure jobs for AMERICANS?

lets see, our economy is so sh!tty, even immigrants are leaving, how is this a good thing? oh yeah, immigrants are leaving! yay!
wait, if immigrants are leaving, dosen't that mean there are less jobs available. yay less jobs available!
doesn't that also mean the place they used to rent will no longer be rented, and if it was a house, it might be foreclosed. yay more foreclosures!
doesn't that also means that all the places they used to shop at, grocery store, clothing store, car dealerships, ect. will lose their business and probably be forced to lay off people. yay more lay offs!
so all together none of those things are good for the economy, and in reality making things worse. but hey, who cares? immigrants are leaving!
yay shortsightedness!:

Yeah, people love to concentrate on the fact that illegal immigrants don't pay taxes and get free healthcare somehow (which I have trouble believing--I'd love to know how they get free healthcare), but completely ignore the fact that they contribute to the economy in many other ways.

If you look at what the average illegal immigrant (the one who has no intention of being a citizen of this country) takes in vs. sends back to their country vs. spends on our free market you'll see this number is very skewed. Then factor in things like not paying taxes and cost of health care, blah blah blah and you'll see not everything is a simple as you make it to be.
Bottom line is no country can sustain open borders, free for all policies. While the idealistic, vocal majority believe in this, any countries economy would collapse like a house of cards in a hurricane under those conditions.
