These corrupt bastards need to be driven from our state or we will most certainly be kneeling before them someday too

It has been glaringly apparent to me concerning the construction industry since 1981. Check out the services industries, such as restaurants and fast food, hotels, and others.

Illegals don't come here and physically remove American employees from their jobs; American employers displace American workers with illegals, primarily because an illegal will work for nothing and forty years later come to the realization he's been ripped off.

And your Congressman, Republican or Democrat, stands behind the employer in this regard.

However, I commented in this thread because of the misconception believed by many of this:

Longer term Latino immigrants taking issue with newly arrived migrant farm workers and their betheren in a California town.

Rachel Ortiz and the members of Beautify Greenfield are not immigrants of any sort. They might have even less in common with illegals than many on this board, except for last names and skin tone.

That's where I believe the anti illegal movement loses it. There are people who exalt Lupe Moreno and Ray Herrera on the keyboard, but if the pair were seen in line at Lowes they would be confused with illegals.

I believe that has to change, otherwise the anti illegal movement will continue to spin it's wheels in relative irrelevancy.
