I never said anything about him violating the law. I suggested he do something about it instead of loosing his house and his job over it. Doing something about it doesn't mean doing something illegal.

Are you always going to try this hard?

Awesome!

Maybe so for a time but I think most of them realize that you can still succeed in America if you aren't lazy and whining for more hand outs from the government.

Depends on your definition of "harder". I would say yes - farming, gardening, and other outdoor manual labor is hardly easy. They're not doing something as physically straining as chopping down trees like Paul Bunyon, but if you saw how things are down here around where I am, you'd see things differently. Right now it's 92 degrees outside and I promise you that there are tons of Mexicans out there picking tomatoes, peas, and berries as I type this, constantly bending over in the midst of a blazing sun. I can respect that, especially since I spend my time sitting on my fat can in the air conditioning.

These Mexicans aren't ruining the economy because they're taking jobs that most Americans won't take. Hell, on the CBS News, I saw two adjacent stories - one talking about how farmers are finding it difficult to hire workers to help with harvest and field management...and a report saying how teenagers are discovering a shortage in summer jobs. I just looked at the TV like it was stupid. For a second, I thought I was the only one putting 2 and 2 together.

Most of these, future Democrats if amnestied, illegals don't have the luxury of being lazy or whining for more hand outs from the gov. However, these future Democrats if amnestied, illegals would just then become another Democtratic voter block, mostly on the dole, if they were amnestied.

Awesome!

I'm not sure about that. Most of the immigrants legal or illegal are very conservative and they may not all agree with the democrats. I don't think it would be so one sided, because these workers aren't asking for handouts, it's usually the people that are already here who don't want to work that are the problem, or at least that is my assumption. My argument is, if we worked as hard as the legal and illegal immigrants we would be successful bar-none.
