Moises Avila was alone in the office, staring at the screen of his desktop computer. A Spanish-language game show blared from the TV. February usually is a bonanza month for the America Travel Agency, the business Avila runs at the corner of Whittier and LaVerne in East Los Angeles. Holy Week is in April, and most of Avila

Oh my gosh, a local economy based on illegal hiring that discriminates against natural born American citizens and legal immigrants is in trouble?

Well, let’s see how much sympathy I have after 8 years of Obama and even W with his “see ya at the bill signing”.......

[This is GREAT. The parts of the U.S. economy that depend on illegal aliens will be devastated.]

Remember the plant that had about 350 out of 500 that were illegal? They arrested the broad that was helping with SSN’s too. That was a good day.

The legal employees cheered and applauded.

““People don’t want to spend much because what if we’re taken away,” she says. “You never know when or how it might happen. It’s affecting the economy all around here.””

We’ve had dozens of shoots in East L.A. The funny part is that the cops and firemen are mostly white.

““It’s because of the president,” Avila says. “The measures he’s taking is causing people to hold onto their money.”


That’s a bad thing?

It’s probably the way most of us grew up.

".,..“The president has humiliated us, but our pride lifts us back up,” ..."

In my country that is not called pride.

It's called arrogance, and it is heartwarming to see so many Mexicans get a "corrective reading".

Ultimately they have very little to be proud about.

When Americans were losing jobs right and Left, no problem.

When the shoe may be on the other foot, problem.

Cry me a river... refill the Rio Grande.

“ICE needs to sweep the SF Bay Area. Completely infested.”

And it isn’t just illegal Hispanics, they need to round up all the Rug Riders and North Africans too.

The illegal alien industry is huge. Court interpreters, an army of unscrupulous American hating immigration attorneys, bail bonds, greedy lazy landlords, taco carts/trucks, and the entire landscape/construction/manufacturing/hotel/restaurant industry etc..

Move um out! In another year or so, there should be a ton of jobs out west.

“Stop Trump, Legalization Not Deportation.”
********************************

No.

Illegal aliens go home now and avoid the rush.

Deportation results in a 10 year ban on legal re-entry.

“An Aeromexico flight scheduled to depart LAX for Guadalajara on Saturday night has 136 of 144 seats still available. Another flight, scheduled to depart an hour later, has 126 seats vacant.”

I flew on Aeromexico once. I had never heard a jet backfire until then.

Amazing how proud they are of a place they refuse to go back to.
