I am a white male

I worked my way thru college, without any grants or aid of any kind.

I am currently working as a software engineer.

These are the jobs that helped me work my way thru school.

  1. Busboy
  2. Car wash attendent
  3. dishwasher
  4. Newsprint/bailer
  5. HVAC tecnician
  6. Land scaper
None of these jobs paid much more than minimum wage.

I guess that blows that theory.

Al Sharpton was just on with Geraldo--

Al WAS mad at Vincente, but now he got together with Vincente and they are both blaming Bush.

Not really. My theory is about generalities, not about any particular person. It's kind of like saying that in general blacks vote Democrat. I can make that statement but couldn't point to any individual black person and state that he--without doubt--voted straight Dem in the 2004 election. However, the fact that a particular black person voted straight GOP wouldn't make my general statement false.

Likewise, I can say that Americans in general seem to have less of a work ethic than illegals who come here to work. That wouldn't mean that your superb work ethic disproves my general statement.

Only empirical data comparing the hours worked and type of work done by illegals with the same jobs done by Americans can prove or disprove my statement. If you have such empirical data, please cite it for me. If I'm wrong, I'll withdraw my statement.

Yeah but thats just for you. I give you total credit, good job dude and you probably had a good upbringing. But I see a lot of unmotivated workers to.

I personally like Savages Oil for Illegals program as a pretty good solution. Have you read about that?
