Here is a thought for you, you wake up some day and all the immigrants are gone. It's all going well through the morning coffee until you realize there are a lot of things going wrong the freeway traffic is lighter (looks like a holiday).
Then you realize that your taco truck is not there today and you say crap!! I'll wait for lunch.. only to find out at lunch that all the restaurants you frequent are closed or so backed up that you go somewhere else.
Screw the restaurants You go to the Market and get lunch then you notice a huge crowd and not enough product, its weird ... people complaining about stock(not delivered that day) There are no fresh vegetables, the floors are not clean (as usual), then you are frustrated.
You go to the Seven eleven and try to get something as your lunch hour winds down ... tic tic tic Then you get to your last hope only to find out that the owners closed the place because the help did not show up.

Back to work and realize that the Vending machine still has chips and some other things in it.

Is this when you realized that this country has been paralyzed because all the immigrants have either been sent home or took a couple of weeks off.

ROTFLMAO.........First, we're talking about ILLEGALS here......Second, there is NO shortage (and NEVER has been), of immigrants waiting in line to come LEGALLY to the USA, and ASSIMILATE.

You just said it. It is not the illegals that are the problem it is the employers unwilling to do the work that they want to pay someone else to do.

The real problem is all of the scumbag employers who are making more money off of the illegals than they would if they had to hire one of the neighbors kids.

BTW I am not some communist who hates the capitalist systmem, but I do not respect any small to medium business owner who actively (as many do) seek out illegals because they will work for less and the power that comes with having crimanls working for you.

I know a contractor who called INS day before payday when he wanted extra money for a trip to Las Vegas. screwing 8 illegals out of their pay.

When he got back he just found some more to replace the ones gone.

IF THEY DID NOT HAVE JOBS READILY AVAILABLE THEY WOULD NOT COME.

The biggest lie ever told. No man is indispensable. I've been trying to get a night job for weeks at the local grocery story to augment my income and can't because "No one is quitting." It is nearly impossible to find fluent Spanish-speaking individuals who CAN TEACH Spanish, but was fired in Tennessee for criticizing Clinton. Also, Texas just voted to allow non-certified individuals to teach. How well the job is done is becoming irrelelvant...as long as someone TRIES to do the job.

So, your argument won't wash with me. When employers need workers, they'll find them ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Get lost.
