No, and in fact...it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING good is going to come from this.

Yeah right. They also aid the economy by sucking up financial aid, running up health care costs, and raising the prison population.

Montebello High Scool, LA, March 27, 2006. That is the tall flagpole over the entire school.

What really has begun to infuriate me is the continual reference to the term "Guest Worker."

I would not consider someone to be a "guest" in my home who entered my home illegally and took whatever he/she "needed" to survive, even if they left $10 on my table but insisted on staying. That person or those persons would be guilty of breaking and entering, which is a crime, I hesitate to add.

I feel that those who have "broken and entered" into my country and now demand that their "needs" be met by me and my neighbors, who are here legally, have no rights at all.

It is the ultimate insult for any elected official to tell me that they wish to offer "Guest Worker" status to those who have illegally chosen to break and enter into my country, then demand that I suffer the consequence. Wrong, Mr. President or Mr. Senator or Mr. Congressman. This is not your choice to make for me or my Constitutional Guarantees.

Overall? NO. Do they help in certain markets yes, do we need "illegals" NO, "legal" workers from Mexico could do just as good of a job if not better because they could actually get drivers licenses and such.

I wonder how the ag industry in California, for one, would fare if all the illegals were suddenly thrown out of the country.

Another "Biggy" is "roofing".

In the last 5 years, I've had to re-roof my home & our rental house. Both times, the best bid was from small family owned firms. These crews were "locals" and small. They did great work. The jobs took 3 days & 4 Days.

My neighbors, who dealt with the "big roofers", got larger Spanish speaking crews & faster, shoddier work

That's our future, thanks to the greed of the Quisling RINOs for dirt cheap illegal alien labor.
