The Latinos work pretty hard. The only problem is the integration into the community. Learning English and adapting to the the customs of the country needs to be enforced.

I do wonder how many are skirting licensing, insurance, and local fees for running a business?

How much of the work is under the table and not being taxed since the communuity is not gaining a benefit from the influx of immigrants?

From what I’ve observed in the midwest where most hispanics have come to work in meat processing and other ag-related jobs, is they pay their bills, are very family-oriented, maintain their homes as well as they can given their income, and behave themselves as well as any other group of people.

In other words, they are good citizens and potential Republicans, since they share the values of faith, family, and entrepreneurship.

Now, back to those who prefer making racial generalizations who will fail to refute any of the statements I made here, which I can support with stats.

Most of them are probably legal immigrants. We bring in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year with about two-thirds being Hispanic.

Legal immigrants are about 75% of the total foreign population. You keep focusing on illegal aliens as the driver of this influx when it is really coming primarily from legal immigration.

The out of wedlock birthrate for Hispanics is 53%. They have high school drop out rates. They use welfare to a greater extent than the native born. They support big government. They are natural Democrats.

more than 3 million Hispanic-owned businesses rake in nearly $500 million in annual revenue, according to the United State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

So each Hispanic-owned business pulls in an average of $167 dollars a year?

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.

Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.

But pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and children.

24,000,000 illegals get amnesty: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.

how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.

1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.

2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.

3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.

4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.

My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.

5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.

6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.

7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.

8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.

9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.

10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.

11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.

NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.

So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.

It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Latinos don't work harder than anyone else. That's bullshit. I worked in the housing construction business and they didn't impress me. The only real thing they work hard at is breaking into our country. What the hell don't they work hard and fix their own damn countries? The only problem of ‘’integration’’ is they don't want to integrate. We're the ''gringos'' and trust me, they hate us. How do they start business? Simple. Local municipalities let them do it. In the town of Lakewood NJ, five minutes from my house the town council of Lakewood established a ''muster zone'' so the bastards could congregate to be hired for work. Even had ''out reach co=ordinators'', coffee and doughnuts, info on all kinds of tax payer funded. Stuff like this goes on all over the country.

Read my post, #19. Since when did people who break into the country, depress the wage structure and refuse assimilate become the salt of the Earth and better human beings then the rest of us? Irony is kind of lost on you, huh?
