Thank you for correcting my spelling, but I would like to point out that leading off with a spelling correction isn't a way to make yourself look more intellegent. It makes you look like a person who would rather point out minor mistakes of the otherside rather than debate the points they are making.

He lost his jobs because of ILLEGAL labor. He didn't lose his job because it was no longer needed. The only reason we have illegal labor in this country is because people will not enfore the laws against it.

Perhaps you should get some sleep and rethink your support of those that break our nations laws.

"intelligent." Spell check really is your friend. It certainly is mine.

What if the competing construction workers were Ukranian, were here on valid visitor work visas, yet still were willing to perform quality roofing, framing, bricklaying, plumbing, wiring, painting and landscaping work 70 hours a week at 1/2 the rate of the prevailing local union guys?

Is your problem with the status of the immigrants, or that they are competing against overpriced local labor?

I don't usually pic nits about spelling errors...GOD knows I make enough of my own,but that wasn't a spelling error;you didn't know the correct word.It's the same kind of thing,as when people here were writing "dwarfs", when the plural is DWARVES" and there is no such word as "anyways"!

Perhaps YOU should get some sleep and rethink accusing,blindly and out of hand,anyone you assume holds position,without KNOWING what position that person has. :-)

How do you know that the person lost his job due to ILLEGAL hires?

When people lost their jobs due to the immigration influxes,previously,no one was talking about whether or not they were legal or illegal;but,they still LOST THEIR JOBS,and THAT was my point! From the earliest days of industrialization,in this country,people were fired and others hired at LOWER SALARIES.Those who went on strike,NEVER were rehired;that was the companies' policy.People have ALWAYS been expendable and the bottom line taken as precedence.Go look into this,maybe the scales will fall from your eyes.

No job? Go get another! No jobs in your area? MOVE!Yes,it's as simple as that.Before all of the government saftey-nets,people did whatever it took to feed and house and clothe themselves and their families.

Your friend's job loss has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread. Why have you high-jacked it?

"The only reason we have illegal labor in this country is because people will not enfore the laws against it."

That is far from the only reason.
