<< You are right, voters don't want Mexican criminals, they want honest Mexican laborers! >>
No.
We want honest AMERICAN laborers -- and don't care where they come from -- just that they're here lawfully.
Which upwards of 15 million criminal aliens presently are not.
Which makes every one of them, even the Mexicans among the 180 or so nationalities that comprise their numbers, OTHER THAN "honest!"
My kids and my neighbors and all of my SoCal acquaintances kids would also fall into the category "honest laborers," were it not that every one of them is turned away from every part-time job -- as often as not with the sneered "we don't hire no stinking gringos here."
Try a vacation in Hawaii and you'll be astounded to find that every casual job is performed by the kind of cheerful, capable, honest American laborers who're also known as "College Kids."
Remember them?
Sorry, my statement stands. Hawaii would be a Mexican laborer's dream, except for the cost of getting there. :^)
