“You know they are in trouble when they are courting 3rd world votes to keep em in power..”

Could you please explain to me how an American of Hispanic descent is somehow ‘3rd world?’

Well in the defense of the “white guy’. They tend to be older so they have for years made a ton of money so when they get laid off they tend to not want to take a pay cut. Hispanics have not had such a long career as far as years so they tend to request a lower pay for their salary which is why they get the job. If those who have worked a job for twenty years would request less money they would tend to get the job too in some cases.

Yes.

A person should be paid what they are worth in the marketplace and by no other standard and there is no way we are going to pay someone a higher salary simply because they are use to making more cash.

However, where I see this is kids who have just graduated college and think they deserve the same pay as someone with an advanced degree and or 20 years experience.

Those guys with the 20 years experience have a realistic view of the job market and salary arbitrage and they have that mortgage to pay and those kids to feed.

They are working for amnesty of illegal aliens from a 3rd world country.

HA! Is that even a serious question? Come on now, you know we are talking mostly illegal aliens? You really question whether our white boys are more qualified than they are? If so, shame on you.

I don’t think the United States government should even be allowed to give any special consideration towards any specific race with regards to policy and law making. They should not even give audience to any racist groups that have an ethnicity in front of their name. They should be impartial. Period.

You really believe that most Hispanics in the US are illegal aliens?

If the Republicans and Tea Party leadership were savvy they’d make a Spanish commercial that said:

Spanish? really?

Bless your heart.

Maybe the GOP should also adopt the green, white and red flag? Or how about including Santa Muerte? They could also promote Atzlan?

Now that would make a catchy commercial.

No, I believe the poster was talking about having to compete with them for jobs though.

I really cannot think of an example where illegal alien are competing for jobs against college degreed American citizens.

I don’t have a very wide circle of family/acquaintances at all but I know at least 4 young people, 3 of whom have been through college and have not been able to get a job in their field yet so they try to apply at min. wage type places in the interim and who do you think they’re competing with? The 4th one is not yet done with college and works at a Portillos with several Latinos who do not speak very “fluent” English and because the current manager is Hispanic he says that is the majority that is hired. I guess maybe it depends a lot on where you live as to whether you will notice this phenomenon. We’re next to a big city. Chicago.

Latrino RACISTS will ATTEMPT to be a force in this election.

Actual Hispanic Americans will be the true force - and they don’t like illegals any more than anybody else. I some states they’re slightly more opposed to illegals than Anglos are. And that’s over 2:1.

“Would anyone like to tell the “Latino Community” that the dems have overwhelming majorties in both the house and senate now and if they haven’t fixed immigration it’s because they are laughing at the idiots who think electing more of them will help.”

I just hope the GOP gives up on their pandering because if giving aliens what they want mattered, they’d be voting republican instead of democrat after Reagan gave them amnesty.
It didn’t happen, and it’s never going to happen...they are socialists and anarchists. Period.
