"those mexicans" did take jobs away from someone, maybe not from anyone posting here, but a quick check of the unemployment office in any major city will turn up a bunch of legal Americans that would be no more difficult to train to sweep up or bus tables than the average colombian border crossser.

Not to mention the squeegee men loitering near major intersections in cities throughout the United States.

Exactly right you are. My son just got his driver's license and insurance for him is astronomical. I assume next he wants his own car. I cannot afford the insurance or the car, so he has to get a job. Not all of us parents can afford to treat our children like spoiled brats, some kids have to work. In fact, I would not have it any other way, if he works for it, he will appreciate it more. So my son will not be sticking his nose up at any job like some posters on this forum imply. Some American kids really do work and need the jobs.

Maybe they did take away jobs. But, I'd bet they work harder and don't give attitudes unlike many Americans. But we legally let visitors take away jobs. We just give them H1B visa's!
