Spoken like an American who's been lied to one too many times. I mean, urinate upon our feet and keep telling us it's raining. Sooner or later we'll figure it out if by nothing but the smell.

As for Americans being too lazy, please, I want to scream when I see or hear that.

Here's the question...ask every native born working American you know...Would you pick lettuce all day for a nickel a head?

Then, if they say no, ask...Would you pick lettuce all day for $50.00 a head?

So....it's more about price than actual refusal to do the work. No, Americans aren't going to work for what those illegal immigrants are paid. But it's not that Americans WON'T do it (okay, some won't but I'm talking the American people that actually WORK), it's that Americans won't do it for the money offered.

I would point out their own President keeps saying that nonsense over and over...."work Americans won't do". Well that only tells part of the story don't it?

Because when Bush keeps saying this, he's giving the world the impression that Americans are lazy and imperialistic when go to hell we are the hardest working country on the planet. And two, he leaves out that part about the money. I'd argue this is to keep avoiding any mention of the businesses that employ these people at below living wages.

In short, it's not US ordinary working peons causing the problem. It's the politicians who do nothing about it and their big contributing businesses who keep those same politicians in power.

The middle class, we who carry this country on our collective backs, has nothing whatsoever to do with this immigration problem. We work, support our families, obey the laws and expect our government to encourage that same thing from ALL aspects of our populace.
