Ah yes! Loitering is becoming epidemic. We can’t have these Mexicans standing on every corner. Take action now, write your congressman. Lets not worry about funding social security or the budget deficit, we have to ship all the Mexicans back before they’re standing on YOUR corner.

I lived in rural NC for 3+ years. I MAY have seen a couple Mexicans. My wife MAY have taught the children of illegal immigrants. I MAY have yelled at their kids in Spainish at WalMart for running around out of control because it is the coolest thing they’ve ever seen. Perspective is not my problem.

I don’t think that Americans aren’t willing to do them, I think the Mexicans do a better job for less money. I don’t know where you get the idea that all Mexicans are paid in cash. I would like to point out that it is illegal for an American company to employ an illegal alien. It is also illegal for an American company to pay less than minimum wage. This being the case, why do we blame the federal government for not keeping them out?

Do you think there are 20 million untaxed jobs where employees are paid in cash in this country? Your numbers would mean that illegals earn 1/8th of Mexico’s entire GDP.

NPR Talk of the Nation, I think the story was called The Economics of Illegal Immigration. They also said that once workers come here, they rarely return to Mexico. So while they may be migrant workers, they’re not going back to Mexico.
