They'll own those other business soon enough. As someone who loves history, I've said before, it's too late. It'll be remembered at the invasion of the 20th century in our history books. The only thing we can do now is embrace it and minimize the negative effects.

lol been saying this for years!!! Cant wait until some of these bigoted poster will have to call them boss one day!!!

I was turned down for 2 jobs because I could not speak spanish! what a crock!!!

lol..sounds like you didnt keep yourself marketable in your field... but its everyone elses fault but yours... Take some responsibility for yourself and stop playing the race card everytime the world was not handed to you

I was turned down for 2 jobs because I could not speak spanish! what a crock!!! Remember the days when teenagers could get a summer job? Not anymore!! Illegals have all of those jobs now! I am so sick of hearing them whine and cry about their rights, what about the rights of all the tax paying, law abiding, legally born residents of our country? an illegal stole my 14 year olds identity and of course the law couldn"t find them. Her credit was messed up before she had a chance cause of him!! I have had to go through so much red tape to try and get it fixed for her it is crazy!! I was told they buy social security numbers so they can work. Of course there are no checks and balances in place to make sure the person is the person with the number. I am so fed up! It makes me so mad every time i have to think about it!!! i know someone will have something smart to say so before you do, I DON'T CARE! you go through what i have, you would probably say alot more than I just did!!

I do find this amusing, they're catering to the ones in their party base who wants something done, since the use of illegals put their business at risk or they're blamed for them not being able to get a job. But, they also but cater to the business who use them for a competives advantage. There for they'll not do anything but show lip service. Corp. America so far loves them, because they're cheap, don't complain (Yet), and leads to higher profits for the companies. But, in the long run, the tune will change, they'll have control of those very same business. Look at what many have done so far in lawn care, construction, landscaping, food service, etc. They'll own those other business soon enough. As someone who loves history, I've said before, it's too late. It'll be remembered at the invasion of the 20th century in our history books. The only thing we can do now is embrace it and minimize the negative effects.

"Wingers seem to think that all Hispanics are illegal, and that Hispanic culture is somehow "un-American" . . . ." This really shows ignorance and bias.

" . . . a complex problem." WHAT!!!! If I break the law will they call my actions a "complex problem" before I or you get arrested?!! This is nonsense.

Impossible to control illegal immigration with Obama defending their right to be here.

When you read the comments from the right wingers here, you understand the huge problem that the REPUBLICAN party is facing in the future. It's their own BASE! As long as REPUBLICANS continue to publicly make statements like the ones here, Hispanics will NEVER support them politically. Wingers seem to think that all Hispanics are illegal, and that Hispanic culture is somehow "un-American", according to them. Sorry, but the right wingers will be getting exactly what they deserve.

Illegal is Illegal....Send them home....

MERY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

"Enough is Enough - I agree with you on everything except the schooling for the kids. It's not the kids fault their parents are law breakers." Blue BoxingGloves

True, it's not. But it never will be. Besides, it "hurts" the greedy, grasping parent(s) by refusing their gimme much more than it hurts a child to be out of school for a month while they go back to their homeland. Let them work to come here legally.
