Recently someone posted an article about how California winemakers may lose market to other countries if illegals keep getting harassed.

I guess to some, being forced to obey the laws is to be "harassed" .. odd.. I don't see it that way..

"Whenever we hear of trouble in Mexico, it's cram full of guns"

That is the Mexican criminal world, that isn't something Americans are going to run into, even gang bangers aren't interested in people that aren't part of their battles.

Knives are the common weapon of the illegals the average home owner may run into, but most Americans no longer are aware of that.

Wait a sec. If wages are going up, maybe these will now be jobs that Americans WILL do.

The employers are breaking laws period! Hiring the illegals did not lower the cost to buy a home in most areas the consumer who is also a taxpayer having to pay to subsidize the "cheap labor" realizes no benefits.

In most cases the illegal labor is not cheap some are getting paid same wages as an American the only thing is the employer and employee get away with paying NO taxes.

As the title states "Pressure driving up paychecks" yes driving up paychecks with no taxes taken out for the ILLEGALS only!!

"There is not a whole lot of evidence that American citizens are going to step up to take these 12 million jobs.

The first quote in the article is from an immigration attorney. Now there is an un-biased source.

Find out where your local illegal bar is, go there and have a few beers(if they serve you), Most of the guys on the INTERNET don't have the courage to do that, what they will find is a violent knife culture,

In Redwood City, CA (the heart of Silicon Valley) it's a gun culture. There was recently a multiple homicide in one of the local bars - all perps and victims had hispanic surnames. The bar itself is a dive.

Never even made the front page of the local papers. If it was white people dying like that, it would have been an ongoing "tragedy" and still in the news with ongoing analysis of our violent culture, etc.
