We'd get calls from the principal and the kids would probably get in school or other suspension.
I just took some garbage to the curb before the trash trucks come and what do I hear? Mexican music from a crew about 1/2 mile away.
I reported one contractor some time ago, but he still has illegals working for him.
"The Spanish became the strongest country of the World from 1492 to 1588 due to
the competitiveness learned during the reconquest."
A slight amplification:
I recently read the book linked below. The writer (Rodney Stark) mentioned that
one historian probably most accurately summed up the rise and fall of Spain in this
way: Spain didn't fall...because it never rose. It was only the Spanish Empire
that ascended for awhile.
Contemporary travelogs noted that the countryside of Spain was backwards
and still moderatley impoverished even at the apex of the Spanish Empire.
And that Spain never got a real manufacturing base...simply spending their
gold and other loot to get foreign goods.

The Jews sought refuge within the Muslims, and lived there without fear.
Today's Muslim extremists like to call themselves "fundamentalists", but they are not.
Michelle and company might be interested to know of this potentially astonishing related thread which details how FLAGRANTLY anti-gringo Mexico's immigration laws are compared to our own:

Can you believe it? Why doesn't the media cover this information (yet)? That would set the race-baiters still in their tracks! Couldn't we stop the amnesty juggernaut if we figured out how to expose how racist MEXICO's own immigration laws are, maybe through a massive letters to the editor campaign and calls to talk show hosts and our politicians?
I've been hearing that crap since the sixties.
P.S. Then the Spanish crown enlisted the help of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Templars) to throw the Moors out, and as soon as they were done, they joined Philip IV in throwing them in jail and taking their possessions.
That would be true if all illegals were working. Well, I guess you can call drug running, theft and whatever else gang members do "working".
We have a whole deck of cards with those picures. My vote for Ace of Spades goes to the chump in the first picture.
Ms. Malkin thinks that everyone with the surname Hernandez(etc.) is a rabid leftist and/or che gueverra supporter...
Queen Isabella had to sell her jewels to get funding for the Columbus expedition. Spain wasn’t really swimming in money at the time. It became powerful in the 16th century, not the 15th. Pizarro went to Peru to look for gold, not to establish colonies. One needs cash for colonies. From the wikipedia entry on Spain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain
Quote: “The treasure fleet across the Atlantic and the Manila galleons across the Pacific made it the wealthiest and most powerful nation in Europe”
Unfortuntaly, all that gold had some bad effects on the economy afterward.
It's fair to say most of them ARE working. If most of them couldn't find employment, they'd be telling their friends back in Mexico to stay home.
To me this is all pretty hilarious.
"Land stolen from Mexico"?
LOL -
They should thank God for the US
every day they're here.
Not one of these folks waving a Mexican flag
would want the corrupt, nepotistic government
of Mexico anywhere near their own lives.
You know, let's do it. Let Mexico have Los Angeles and San Francisco...maybe Phoenix. (We'll keep San Diego...it vote Republican).
The Mexicans can have all the whiner Liberals...see how they like it.
The Liberals can have all the benefits of Mexican rule.
Yes, the Jews were treated much better by the Muslims during that time. It is almost sad that such a great civilization has fallen so low and into such ignorant depths.

How many work under the table? Therefore not paying taxes, and then their kids going to schools, using emergency room and other medical services, food stamps, getting arrested, doing time, all on taxpayer dime. And how much money is sent back to Mexico, enriching that country?
Have you read the figures of how many criminals incarcerated are illegal aliens? I can't remember but it's a heckuva lot. Costs taxpayers.
Great civilization? Was it great how Muslims slaughtered their way across Asia?
Parts of Houston look like Mexico, immigrants refuse to speak English.
It's becoming the same almost everywhere.
