Not B.S. My nephew was caught up in drugs and got busted, as he should have been. When he got out, the only job he could get was in salvage and demolition. He was the only person on his crew who spoke English, but he was treated and paid as poorly as the illegals, never knowing from one day to the next if his job would go to an illegal paid less than minimum wage, as it eventually did

I doubt that and think you are spreding more hysterical hyperbole, there are many halfway houses that would have set him up in a job. That's of course if he can keep it, which is the part of the story you left out.

Dane, your virtual reality is entertaining, but try to keep the insult control on "off."

What kind of hyperbole are you talking about? Why are you so unwilling to discuss facts, rather than rant? For example, I'm still waiting to hear if you distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal aliens.

I had a guy who worked for me who had the same thing happen to his kid. Kid got mixed up with drugs, spent a couple of years in the slammer, and when he got out, the only job he could get was riding on the back of the trash truck. Not very swanky, but at least he could support himself.

Then the Mexicans showed up, and he was laid off.
Had to go back to live with his Dad. Whats he supposed to do for a living? Go back to crime? This crap really does happen out in the real world.

But I suppose you don't know or care, back behind the walls of your gated community, living amongst the "right" people. Have fun on the golf course tomorrow. Don't forget to say 'hola' to Pepe on the lawnmower.
