I meet more and more people who are out of a job because they were replaced by Mexican workers.These guys usually work in construction or a job in the building industry.The owners of the companies are replacing an American worker making $17 an hour with two Mexicans making $8 an hour.There's no way for even a single guy to live off of such a low wage never mind support a family.It won't be long until the majority of the jobs that require physical labor are filled with illegal immigrants.There might be some truth to the claim that they take the jobs Americans won't do but they also are taking jobs that those who didn't go to college have been relying on for many years.

Which explains the odd alliance between blue collar unions and conservatives. They both oppose illegal immigration, but for different reasons.

Fienstein represents another sliver of opinion. Liberals who have to kowtow to farming interests (for election) and civil rights activists (for ideology).

Confusing isn't it?
