The real face of immigration -Bump
As long as they are here legally, I don't have a problem with them.
This was previously posted.

Read the article. Most of those in the article are not here legally. They have fake papers.
Well then why don't we just invalidate any other laws we don't happen to like?
The woman is a criminal, her employer a felon. There is a good probability the documents she has are stolen or forged.
Legalization by deportation - not legislation!
"It's not jobs Americans don't want to do. These are wages and working conditions Americans don't want to accept," says Ira Melman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an opponent of lowering the barriers for undocumented workers.
"Why not let the free market determine what wages ought to be instead of flooding the market with low-wage, foreign labor?" he asks.
Sorry, it didn't come up in a search for "jobs".
Oh yeah, that's someone I want working in my food supply chain. NOT!
This whole dreary POS article is a liberal tear-jerker for the supposedly down-trodden...who are apparently sending all their ill-gotten (can you say ILLEGAL?) wages back to their cronies in Mexico. Probably encouraging them to come over when they can too. Also illegally.
If the liberals care so much about the poor, "desperate" workers...Why isn't something done about the Mexican socialist enterprise? Oh yeah, this is not your "Father's" Immigration story, bud.
Americans won't do the work at the price paid. If not for the Fed policy of unrestricted immigration, wages would rise until labor appeared to do the work. That would be a GOOD thing. The Fed policy is in effect a MAXIMUM WAGE law.
Notice not a single real company is named. This reads like Jayson Blair....
Legal or illegal they are being treated like dogs and it is wrong. Where is the father of this 35 yr old 6 children?
Not a single company, eh? This, from the article:
"Dominguez and 200 others work for a contractor, QSI Inc., which nightly cleans the Smithfield Foods Inc. plant in Tar Heel, a colossus that employs up to 6,000 workers and ships 6 million pounds of pork daily."
Reading is fundamental.
This is future disaster. Michael Moore type logic. A dose of victimhood, whining, and red herrings to take attention away from the obvious. This is destroying our country.
Aside from some short term economic gain for certain employers, these illegals represent a tremendous burdon on the system. The illegals take from the system, medical care, education, social benefits, damgage from uninsured accidents and send all surplus back to Mexico. And, in the furure, they will ALL claim unemployment benefits, disability and social security benefits using fake employment records.
We must seal the borders now and begin sending home all the criminals we can catch!
I DISAGREE! Our town here in the MidWest was flooded by IBP , with these illegals to artificially inflate the supply of labor. The result, thousands of illegals here taking jobs w/o having to pay any taxes. The result. Skyrocketing social service costs, collapsed property values and Americans moving from their place of birth to avoid the chaos.

It's TIME to stem the tide!
As the grandson of two legal immigrants and the husband of one, I object to your calling these people "immigrants."
They are illegal aliens and criminals.
They have no permission to be here, their status is in no way permanent, and thus they don't even meet the formal definition of the word "immigrant."
"They have no permission to be here, their status is in no way permanent, and thus they don't even meet the formal definition of the word "immigrant.""
Under the Bush plan, they'll all get "guest worker" cards.
