  •  Why am I the only one (0+ / 0-)

    who has thus far said that undocumented immigrants were overwhekming hard working. If it were possible I would seal the border with the army and allow not one more Mexican into the US, either legal or not. I think we are becoming so overweighted with our southern neighbors that I could see a time a few decades in the future where they called the shots if they voted as a block.

    Back to my vote. Some 30+ years ago I was a partner in a construction company doing primarily heavy projects such as dams, water treatment and such. Our payroll sometimes got to about 200 workers. At the time contractors on work with a federal component of funding were given a wage scale for each craft and certified payroll reports had to be turned in weekly. One of our superintendents who spoke spanish recommended we hire 3 mexicans who were obviously illegal. We did so and they stayed with us about three years. There was competetion to see who got these three fellows because they were such outstanding workers. I realize the sample is small but it is firsthand experience.

    Evangelical Christians are a far greater danger to America than Muslims.

      Not allow your southern neighbors in because they work too hard? Cut off one of Americas biggest trading partners?

      Your post makes no sense.

    •  You aren't the only one orisk. There are plenty (0+ / 0-)

      who know that. Half the people chose all of the above, which included that.

      And there are also  plenty of Mexican bashers like you here. It's kind of ironic that you made money as a partner using quality (possibly) undocumented workers and now you want to kill the goose that has laid (and is laying) the golden egg in our economy. The hate mongering and contempt that so many people like you have for Mexicans and other immigrants could cause hell to break loose. And if hell does break loose, I hate to use your own words against you but:

      "You Break it, You own it"

      •  Yeah wan't that the strangest (0+ / 0-)

        comment, ever? He want's to exclude anyone from Mexico from entering, I expect that means tourists and shoppers and businessmen, as well. And oil, I guess he wants to keep Mexican oil south of the border, too.
