I know it is supposed to be a great thing to get money to do things but WHO IS BENEFITING FROM THE STIMULUS AND THE EMPLOYMENT?

I would go so far as to say the existence of those jobs is precisely to keep those hispanics employed. Once they are forced out of the country, the jobs will dry up. They were not created to keep citizens employed.

The really disturbing part about it is where the money is coming from to employ these people. It's not government money where employment is concerned. It is private individuals paying out of their own pockets and they have to be getting it from somewhere too.
