These people pick our fruit and clean our toilets they wish us no harm.

While that's true for most Mexicans, it doesn't apply to all. And even many of those who are here to do what you say are not at all friendly to Americans or to our way of life. This is truly a problem that has been exacerbated by the pols in Washington.

Answer me this. You need to work for 40 quarters (10 years) to qualify for Social Security benefits. How does it make you feel to know that the illegals you're talking about only need to work for 6 quarters to earn those same benefits?

You're simplifying the problem too much, HJ. Where are your charts (with figures made up out of whole cloth), pleas for tolerance, and phony claims that what seems irrational now will eventually work out for the best in the long run? < /sarc >

A politician you'll never be (possibly the best compliment you've been offered in recent memory? :)
