First, you've insulted me by calling me ignorant (when you should have used the word "naive"). Now you call me an Anti-American. Please try to be more civil and less hostile, just because we have no physical accountability on the Internet, does not mean that we can insult people. I'm a violent man trying my hardest to reform myself. Help me out here!

re; Then tell me what that has to do with Americans losing tens of millions of great jobs as entire segments of American work are conquered by Mexican immigrants, who do inferior work

I've traveled on business throughout Latin America (I can speak Spanish ), I was an exporter of USA products, machine tools and industrial goods for 23 years. I've been all over the USA, my suppliers were all over, but mainly in the RUST BELT. They are all gone overseas or put out of business by overseas competition. THAT IS WHERE THE JOBS ARE GONE! You can see the empty factories all over, it's a ghostown. Maybe where you live there never was any major industries (Florida, Arizona, Mississippi Arkansas etc) that is why it looks to you like the Mexicans are the problem. The problem is that there are few jobs left, they've all gone overseas.

Now, let me add something, I speak Spanish, and I KNOW, I can tell you that that practically all the illegal Mexican that are coming here, are illiterate IN SPANISH. That is they can't read or write in Spanish! . Forget about the fact that they don't know English. Now, if a person looses his job to an illiterate Mexican who is also illiterate in English, what does that say about that person?

It doesn't say a thing about him. It DOES say something about the person doing the hiring.

It says that employer wants to locate his business in America to take advantage of the numerous benefits that entails, but does not want to pay for the minimum wage expectations of American workers.

Sure, I can grow a tomato cheaper in mexico....I just can't do it while paying the legally mandated overhead required in America.

When newspapers were caught by a market change and they could no longer get kids to deliver papers for what they had formerly been paying, they had to come up with another distribution plan...not import mexican kids!

There's no such thing as "a job Americans just won't do." There are only jobs Americans won't do for artificially depressed wages in industries where cheating has become "de rigueur."

You are incredibly ignorant of this topic, I see know reason for you to even try and offer an opinion, you know so little of it.

"Americans today are spoiled, fat, cigarette smoking, unreliable, hungover at work, don’t work on Saturdays, and complainers all day, when it comes to hard labor at say $12 an hour. A Mexican will work without any of those drawbacks."

You are anti-American.

I put you in the category of troll newby, your disgusting anti-Americanism will probably see you run off before your choosing.
