We Are Not Criminals!!!!

Thank you and I agree 100 percent. Criminals are all those who pocket a profit from labor that they didn't do.

you guys dont know what your talking about. george bush and congress are not crinimals. they dont send latinos to their deaths in wars. employers, since time began have always made money on the sweat and labor of workers. every person alive has worked under some employer that was cruel and indifferent to the needs of common man. the minimun wage is what unskilled labor receives for their work. there are men and women, born and raised in this country, out of work who dont even get a minimun wage. i believe that any person seeking a better way of life should have the opportunity to go to any country and get a job and work and raise children to become productive and law abiding citizens. there is a volunteer army in america and they go where this country sends them. everyone seems to have forgotten sept. 11th. dont gripe, you seem to have a computer, thats more than a lot of other people. and why are there people here without papers? get papers, get legitimate and become productive. stop bitching! life is hard. no one ever said that life was fair. i've been working since i was 13 and i saved my money. i didnt drink, or waste my money. i see a lot of aliens drunk in the middle of the day and dont tell me its because life is so horrile here. you can do something special with your life. its hard work and planning, but you can acheive the american dream, whatever that is.

of course their not crinimals, they should find a way to become legit and then ask for the same wages as any other anerican, and they should report these bastard employees who take advantage of them. and they should not complain when society does'nt give them a free handout.

Jack, if you believe "hard work" inevitably leads to one's achieving whatever it is you conceive of as "the american dream," you are clearly not living in the same America as me.

Some people do succeed because of hard work. Others work just as hard and end up with really tough lives and nothing to show for all their sweat. Maybe you did it, but that doesn't mean everyone else can. Circumstances really dictate a lot...

true. but many immigrants came to this country and they all worked and pooled their money into the family by buying property and other needs. every family had a savings bank. granted today is different than yesterday but the actions are all the same. today its investments compared to yesterday's savings banks. i dont know, perhaps i've gotten too old and still think things are the same way as in 1956.

I guess so, and whatever you say Jack, bush remains a criminal, no doubt. "Look daddy, I can beath up Saddam better then you did!"
But back to topic, I believe there's alot of corruption, they are not the criminals, the people who have the power actually are.

just a quick comment ~ i agree that there is a major problem with employers taking advantage of immigrants, especially illegals. Is it ironic that it's Mexicans that are doing construction in 90 degree heat? Employers think they can treat people like dirt and pay them next to nothing because they are illegal and they know that these people won't go to the police about it. The majority of illegal immigrants that I've met here in KY are working their asses off, living on next to nothing, and sending almost everything they make to their families back in Mexico that are living in poverty. They are working, not drinking or being lazy or any of that b/s that people like to stereotype them with. Open your eyes. Mexico is suffering an economic and political crisis, and has been for quite some time. You are either very rich, or living in poverty. "Illegal" immigrants are treated like modern-day slaves, and that's not an overstatement.
