My kids will not lay carpet, I'll let your kids lay the carpet in my kid's houses.

Your kids are in for a real rude awakening, with a dad like you convincing them they're oh so much better than those lousy Messicans.

My kids ARE in a better position than newly arrived immigrants or illegal aliens, and if yours aren't, they're the ones in for a rude awakening.

"...they're oh so much better than those lousy Messicans."

Le's not discuss illegal aliens, they're not part of this equation, let's discuss the children of immigrants in general, and the children of THIS immigrant in particular.

I ALREADY washed dishes, waited on tables, cut grass, and worked at WalMart as did my father.

Most newly arrived immigrants do those jobs because that's the jobs available to them...it's always been that way in this country.

I did those jobs and improved myself in order to IMPROVE my children's chances at a better life...that of course being the reason that my parents left Cuba, migrated here, and took jobs as dishwashers and room Hotel maids.

The sum total of our combined sacrifices are designed to not only better our lives, but to push the family UP, not back.

I don't imagine any Rockefeller ever looking at one of their kids and telling them that cutting grass for a living was a perfectly fine goal for them to strive for.

I'm not telling mine that working as dishwashers is good either.

You want to tell yours that it is?

You go right ahead.
