Meanwhile, their homes, ranches, farms, hotels, and restaurants are maintained by immigrants, mostly without legal papers. Meanwhile Republicans in Congress demand "deep cuts in federal spending" (translation: "deep cuts in jobs") as their primary economic policy. Race? Absolutely!

If it were about "illegals" taking jobs, then the employers who hire them would be targeted extensively. And don't give me that crap about how "illegals" will take jobs Americans won't do. The fact is, those "illegals" are willing to take those jobs at a wage rate (if they're paid at all) that Americans realize will not support themselves and their families. Twenty "illegals" don't share a 2 bedroom apartment because the want to, they do it to survive on the paltry pay they make.Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422440621953157615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-7158320738959314942011-08-25T07:31:30.054-06:002011-08-25T07:31:30.054-06:00I really do not want illegal immigrants in our cou...I really do not want illegal immigrants in our country. But they are here and paying taxes and generally behave themselves. Like they have been since we became a nation. they are here to better their families chances of a good life. Hardly something to look down upon.<br /><br />This is all about race to many people.

Nevertheless, it's true Governor Martinez is following the right-wing agenda to keep Mexicans out of this country, and doing whatever else to suppress them. It's strange, however, how we never see headlines about a border fence between the US and Canada.Abq Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625219471476690325noreply@blogger.com
