Come here sir step right up

What did Davy Crockett say to Travis when he saw 1500 mexicans approaching the alamo?   I didn't know we were pouring concrete today....

don't forget about the scaffold building and insulation work...

Eric, I lean toward your thinking. I like the Mexican people, and I think they are hard workers.I just wish there was streamlined process for them to come here to work legally.

X2 I don't think I've ever seen a happier group of people not much gets em down at all. I've got alota friends that are hispanic and man o man can they cook!

How many of you people who think imigration is great have been negitivly affected by it and how many positively it will probably have a lot to do with your attitude. The USA is paying a high price for cheap labor.If you think it want affect you your wrong

[Circle C]

Immigration has not had a negative affect.   ILLEGAL immigration has.  There is a difference

[jon]

think about it, this country was formed from immigration... whites took from indians

[bob]

Im right with you circle C

[redtick23]

I work in the oilfield and work with almost all mexicans so I don't mind the mexicans that come over here to work leagal or not but I do mind the ones that are here hiding from what they did in Mexico like one mexican man i worked with was a hitman in Mexico and not many people new this and to meet him you would think he was a nice guy.These are the ones I have a problem with.

[Eric]

Its our govt that has made it a negative. If we would secure the border. Stream line workers so they can come thru the gate not our back yards. Give them identification so they can pay taxes. You have done away with the majority of the negatives.

Man thats another thing i have to admit. As far as working there not scared at all. I work at the plants doing inspection. And i can kinda manage my schedule at work to where on days that i know its gona be hot or cold i can work half the day in the morning when its cool and spend the rest of my day in the office doin "paperwork" but these scaffold builders and insulators wich 95% of them are mexicans are out there 24/7 in the heat or cold all day long with a strict 30 min lunch. As far as our job its pretty flexible our lunch varies from 1hr to hr and a half. And every time i wana b***h about my job i stop and think for a minute and realize how easy some of us got it.

I have worked construction with some good ones and some bad ones. Usually if theyre around for more than a day or so there good ones to work with. We would work 70 hr weeks I would get paid  close to 850 a week doing the same job as an illegal an they would get paid 300 for that week.  They are hard working people and I personally have a lot of respect for someone who is willing to work like that to better themselves and or there families, which was the case for 90% of them. Now if there was a legal way for them to work like this , that is not such a pain in the arse to get, I would be all for it. But at the same time if your working harder and getting paid less than me more power to you.

[tuskbuster]

well. oncle sam has me by the yang and will not let go cause i been PAYIN MY CHIT for over 35 yrs,cant seem to grasp the idea of lowering myself and my WAGES to work like an ILLEGAL .i dont live 12 or 15 to a 2 room house drive 2 work GREEN as some would call it.as many as lives in the 2 room  gets in the van or pickup.workrd all them yrs.ABIDEING by the gov. and ill be dam if i will condone anyone  comin here and puttin me in a bind with THE GOV.just so they can send OUR dollars baCK to that chit hole that theyre lettin get by with treatin em like that,we have our own people that treat us like slaves,DO NOT NEED THE COMPETION

[tuskbuster]

and any one that uses said illegals are the reason all us taxpayers are in the hole and fed up .builders say hire some mexs and you will make money but you have to bid the jobs  for mex prices.BULLFRICKIN CHIT

[Reuben]

doubl a double edged sword...customers don't want to pay....builders want to ship jobs overseas....and we expect miracles to happen with the economy ...

[catmando]

Tuskbuster your the only one on here that sees the whole picture the rest just dont git it This is not about race its about and invasion  from a forien country.

[tuskbuster]

reuben its not that they dont wanna pay its they got a taSTE of more profit for less money put out,ive worked the ,whites ,blacks,native americans,and yes some are as bout as worthless as can be ,but ill be dam if i will work an illegal,some of my good friends are hispanic ancestry,and they wont even bring their selves ro work that cheap. i still will work an american  for more money,knowin that all his money earned is stayin in the good ol USA,

[Reuben]

I agree with you tuskbuster...I believe it is time to shut the borders down for legals and illegals...

[catmando]

Reuben your right  as usual.THe newly arrives (being pc)couldnt work for so cheap if our goverment didnt supplement thier income lonestar card ,medicaid section8 housing.

[dodgegirl]

I personally think we need to fix our country before we let more people in it. For gods sake we have American veterans living on the street, with not a penny to their name. We also have Americans that bust there ass everyday that are struggling to keep their jobs. We need to help the people that are already here & fix our economy before we start letting more people in. Bit that's just my opinion.

[jagdtank]

It may have been said already.(didn;t read every post) but I have not met a single illegal mex. that cared one bit about american ideals. Most that I have talked to that even know who the president is, like obama.I have said on here before that i respect any man that is a worker.I am however getting a little tired of seeing a bunch of people come in  here who don't care anything about our country or it's founding or it's politics. don't respect our laws language or culture and all...... ( THATS RIGHT I SAID ALL)! Have their wives and family on welfare food stamps and medicaid. (Go to the health department sometime and look it's all or nearly all foreigners there).If we made em stay home they might just get tired enough of their own country to do something about its worthless state of being! 20,000,000 illegals in the u.s. could do alot back in mex land where they belong. My main point of contention about the whole thing is they dont identify as americans. Thats why illegals don't assimilate. They stay mex and act mex. and have no respect for america as she was founded. They change us not the other way around!

Bull shizzle my nizzle. We traded and fought em fr it fair and square. We were even nice enough to give them a guided tour of ther former lands on the way to Oklahoma! They gave up America in trade for far north Texas, seems like we're even Stevens to me.
