The economic slowdown has taken a far greater toll on NON-CITIZEN IMMIGRANTS, especially those from Latin American countries

Another Perla sob story PING

If Perla is crying her lil ol’ heart out...

We must be winning against the illegal alien invasion..

[EagleUSA]

Yes, we cannot be PC and call them “illegals”... I think criminals sounds better anyway. And who give a flying %^$# what happens to their “criminal” businesses anyway?

The rule of law in America is on the brink of total fatality.

About two years ago, Mexico native Carlos Perez left his job at a factory in Dayton, Tenn., to start Perez Produce, a distributing company for local Hispanic restaurants and stores.

Hmmmmmm... When we want to cater to one group we are called racists. But let an "immigrant" cater to his group and we are all supposed to cry when his racism and xenophobia costs him his business.

I was living in the suburbs back during the housing bubble (I live in a small town now; death to Big Cities!). The really weird thing was that the construction workers tended not to be American nationals... OR Hispanic immigrants (of any stripe).
The bulk of them were actually European immigrants, from such places as Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.
Take away from this what you will. Even I don't know what it means.

Politically correct garbage by Perla Trevizo. Was she borne here?

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Fortunately the Democrats are completely taking over America, so these poor souls will soon be saved by yet another $100 billion bailout, this time earmarked for businesses that cater to illegal immigrants.

And of course, since a record-shattering spending/taxing binge is about to start, what better way could there be to direct where those new $$ go to, than to create a new Affirmative Action program for "Undocumented Worker Owned Businesses"? I.e, expanding the current "set-aside" program so as to take away government contracts now going to businesses owned by legal Americans - who are clearly getting far more than their fair share of the pie anyway, and award them instead to "undocumented Americans".

And it's vitally important that these tens of millions of illegals be given citizenship and voter ID cards pre-marked "Democrat" asap, so that they can vote in the next election to provide the Democrats with a filibuster-proof Senate. And it's important that these formerly undocumented workers get all kinds of tax dollars shoved their way, so that they'll have plenty in their pockets to give back when the fundraising letters from the DNC arrive in their mailboxes before 2012, when the plan is for Emperor Obama to be re-elected by acclamation.

[Sopater]

Our economy is too dependent on “NON-CITIZEN IMMIGRANTS” to allow them to fail. We need a quick response from our legislators to draft a multi-billion dollar bail-out plan to ensure that “NON-CITIZEN IMMIGRANTS” do not fail! (/sarc)

oye! Que Lastima......

[Lobbyist]

I’m just all broken up about this. Not!

[Tennessee Nana]

Tennessee: Slowdown in economy taking a toll on
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT-OWNED
Hispanic-owned businesses Built On Business Plan of Catering
to OTHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

There, that's the real-world headline.
Something the MSM rarely resorts to.
When slamming the US Military.

And race/ethnicity/country of origin has nothing to do with the matter.
We have plenty of illegals from around the world cleaning up
by catering to other illegals.
Tax-free and with plenty of freebies, of course.

[OneHun]

"Yes, Perla was born here.."

Thank you.

The really weird thing was that the construction workers tended
not to be American nationals... OR Hispanic immigrants (of any stripe).
The bulk of them were actually European immigrants, from such
places as Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.

Not to be too nosy, but in what region of the USA did this occur?

No matter where I've been in Southern California (LA area),
Dallas-Ft. Worth or Mid-Missouri...it's been plenty of
"South of the Border" workers although at lower percentages
here in Mid-MO.
Until just recently here in Mid-MO. Our governor Blunt (R) and
even our Governor-Elect Jay Nixon (D) really have been "dis-inviting"
Illegals as regards staying/working in Missouri.
Gov. Blunt even has some of the state law enforcement holding and
turning to ICE illegals picked up for just about any offense.
Thus you hardly see "South of The Border" workers here in Mid-MO.
I suspect plenty are moving on to more inviting places like Chicago, NYC
or New Haven CT.

If you were in big-town in the North East USA along the Atlantic
coast, I can see fly-by-night contractors/workers from
"across the pond".

One positive thing about the recession is that it is doing what Congress refused to do.

Now Build the Freakin’ Fence.
