"Seems that they are taking full responsibility for themselves by taking back breaking jobs, that you and me were brought not brought up to take."

I believe that an employer should pay an employee what the market will bear...the legal market. (not slave labor from 3rd world nations.

"And I know the yada, yada, yada, spiel that will happen afterwards, they don't speak English(etc.), well no wonder, with frothing mouths such as yourself, why should they talk to you, with you saying that they are taking away welfare benefits and closing down hospitals,"

My Mexican wife would laugh in your face. She too knows that you have been thoroughly brainwashed or using slave labor.

" did you ever consider talking to them about the benefits of private health accounts and tort reform. "

Why in the hell would I talk to an illegal about a private health account or tort reform? What in the world have you been smoking? Did your illegal smuggle something across the border for you?

I am reminded of the anecdotal story of the fellow who needed to have some brush cleared from his land, and how he went from local teenagers to the state casual employment office, and how they either worked too slowly or didn't want to work hard at all, and he was paying the prevailing wage.

Disappointed and aghast at how long the task was taking, he somehow asked an illegal alien if he'd be willing to work, but the man stated clearly that his going labor rate was $15 an hour, almost twice what anyone else had been paid. The man worked hard and got the job finished the same day.

You could argue that the property owner got whatever he was willing to pay for, but you can't argue that the illegal was willing to undercut the wages of the local teenagers or the native-born casual laborers.
