Are you insinuating that hardworking Americans fit that description above?

Not at all. It is just that I often hear people equating illegally entering the USA, with the intend of earning a living and providing for a family, with murder and rape. "Illegal is Illegal."

And Americans don't buy food and other products?

My point in a nutshell is that Mexican labor in deeply entwined in our economy. It will be a devil to untangle and simple solutions like "lets just close the border and ship 'em all back." are not constructive or well thought out.

I have experienced in the last several years, by running into Mexican employees at McDonald's, Mexican's who give out wrong change and slam the door in your face before you can get the chance to rebut the problem.

I have had the opposite experience. Latinos that I have had contact with have, for the most part, been MORE friendly and helpful than the average kid out of high school.

Well that's nice to know you have not experienced the rudesness that I have encountered on numerous times. After awhile one really does wonder if all their culture is like that.

One time, I was eating at a Bog's Big Boy restaurant and upon paying my meal and tipping the Mexican waitress, I was expecting change. But guess what the little bitch did? She ran off with the change along with my tip. Then I find out she is still working there. I had never prior to the incident, I had never eaten at that place before.
