As a native Californian and Angelino, I need to express my opinion on this topic, even though illegal immigration is totally out of hand, most Mexicans coming over here to work are doing Jobs no other ethnic group will do.

Picking fruit
Being busboys and dishwashers
house cleaners
gardeners

As well as the day labors standing on the corners waiting for contractors to give them a days work.

I am not sure of the other illegal aliens that are here and if they have any contribution to California, but I can look out my front window and see I am sure 10 Mexicans proably illegals doing manual labor, mowing lawns, trimming trees, making sure all the legal americans in my complex live in the comforts of a well manicured gated community.

Maybe the lazy, government dependent, entitlement group will do all the work the Mexicans have been doing after they all have been deported?

I 110% disagree. If you go to areas of the country where these ..... folk ... have not infiltrated, I can GUARANTEE you, that the dishes are being washed, the yards mowed, the beds made...

Americans have been doing this for years all by themselves.

AND, think of the LEGALS IMMIGRANTS and how THEY must feel! Seriously...THEY'RE in the same boat we are...!!!

Where the problems come in, and make the "cheap labor" not so cheap is when the taxpayers have to foot the bill for their entire families schooling, medical care etc.

Or maybe the up and coming couch potatos in your gated community will have to pony up a couple more bucks in home owner dues.

How strange. When I was in high school in the late 70s those very jobs provided me with spending money, and I'm not Mexican. Neither were any of the dozens of other high schoolers who worked the same jobs alongside me. As best I can tell, none of us ever thought ourselves "demeaned", "exploited", or thought that clearing away and washing dishes was a job that was beneath us.

So what changed?

As someone who has did just about everyone of those jobs in his youth, I can absolutely positively guarantee that you are full of it.
