If you own a business that is being threatened by illegal immigrants, perhaps you should revisit your business plan. Obviously, your native crew provides no utility benefit in terms of quality over a bunch of scraggly guys who just wandered over the border. You must be losing on price alone. That's a sheety place to be if you're overhead isn't thread bare.

Your arrogance obviously is a "value add" with your customers and vendors, I'm sure.

You may have had some vulnerabilities in your commercial model that transcends the arrival of uneducated, non English speaking foreign nationals.

Dwell on that tonight, not George W. Bush's betrayal of everything you hold dear.

My first thought? Offer the scraggly guys from Guad who are kicking your ass $2 more per hour to work for you. Then, your competitor might offer them ... $3 more. Pretty soon, these underpaid guys are making good money and no longer depressing the local wage rates. Amazing how markets work, eh?
