So, what is your job and why do you need legal immigrants from Mexico for its very existence?

The gentleman is an attorney, and I believe the employees he speaks of are probably very aware of his beliefs concerning illegal immigration.

The confusion is in the use of the word "Mexican" in a racial sense rather than the more correct meaning of national identity.

As I understood him, most of firm's employees are natural born American citizens whose families may have been here for a century or more, or not. The legal immigrant(s) I assume is/are well qualified for the job and has a skill necessary to the employer.

It is illegal to discriminate against anyone concerning race or national origin. Any employer so blatant to do so will swiftly appear in court.

Being a legal immigrant means all the hoops have been jumped through, a respect for American immigration law. Just because someone has legally immigrated or even grown up among illegals does not indicate that person is sympathetic to the illegal cause.

One legal immigrant from Guadalajara was an active member of Save our State, went to many events.

Lupe Moreno - American by virtue of the 14th amendment as most of us are - has an an anti illegal crusade of her own, and has been a guest at Save our State http://articles.latimes.com/2005/aug...l/me-latinos14.

Then there's American citizen Ray Herrera, whose occupation was destroyed by illegal labor http://unitedstates.fm/ray.htm.

Things aren't so black and white, twoller.
