I got myself a fake SSN and have helped towards someone else’s retirement by paying a lot of taxes on that SSN ;-) Although I didn't have a shitty job, I do think that most of the jobs done by the illegals are jobs that "normal" Americans do not want to do. Am I right? And what’s so wrong about a first generation immigrant calling themselves an American even if they do remember and honor their old country? I always thought the US was a melting pot and loved it! Now I don’t know if the US is as excepting anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1146499193385085232006-05-01T11:59:00.000-04:002006-05-01T11:59:00.000-04:00I'm just now hearing about this whole thing, but I...I'm just now hearing about this whole thing, but I'll help.

We also need to change our laws regarding that (see today's post).<BR/><BR/><B>Ellen,</B> baths aren't an answer for me because it involves me lying there with my neck at an angle.

And where is the INS in all this? They'd better be doing double duty that day!<BR/><BR/><B>Mr. Gator,</B> as I waded through all the silliness... ;o) ... I see something that I commonly hear: illegals are doing jobs that Americans won't do. Well, we'll never know until we try, right? It's not as if there have been polls about it, or any type of studies done. And the fact remains, they're ILLEGAL. The best solution is to be more generous in our restrictions, but not to REWARD the current illegals by allowing them to stay with any work visas or other nonsense. Wouldn't you agree?<BR/><BR/><B>TLP,</B> Strangely, I think almost EVERYone is now. I'm a moderate, but even the staunch conservatives are either mad or running like hell to get away from the controversy!Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1146389201671418532006-04-30T05:26:00.000-04:002006-04-30T05:26:00.000-04:00...more responses later...

You've been on the run and you surely deserved some rest!<BR/><BR/><B>Alex,</B> I don't know of many legals that support illegals but I'm sure the ones that do, do it out of a sense of loyalty. The "they're one of US" idea, when the legals are actually the ones who WORKED to get into America. Most legals despise illegals, who snuck in here and get to work without jumping through any of the hoops that are designed to protect Americans.<BR/><BR/><B>KristieD,</B> I know~! Of course it's not a secret that the Mexican gov't supports them in this and would like to bring the US to its knees this way. The Mexican gov't even publishes a handbook on how to sneak into the US.

If you ever want me to do a guest post id be glad to :) (That would probably result in the end of your blog as we know it.)<BR/><BR/>I agree about the illegals protesting, I say screw them. I am ready to crack down on any employers who hire them. If they dont have any illegal jobs, they will go home. Or at least, new ones wont break the law and ruin it for all the poor people who spend years trying to do the right thing. Not sure why so many Legal immigrants support them anyway.High Power Rocketryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537203640644706903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1146368072608206852006-04-29T23:34:00.000-04:002006-04-29T23:34:00.000-04:00I will be sure to do lots of spending on monday. ...I will be sure to do lots of spending on monday. I find it kind of ironic that this illegals like to say they are important to america and are just as much as an american as me, while holding up their native country's flag.

I can certainly empathize with you on body pain. I trust over time you will feel better. I had a man operation several years’ back and I had pain every time I used this muscle for almost 2 years so things could be worse for you.<BR/><BR/>Your educational background is quite impressive. I don’t mean to brag but I scored 980 on my SAT.<BR/><BR/>I just checked my freezer and I have 4 boxes of the 44 count of Mrs. Paul’s Breaded Fish Sticks. I can order more on Monday. The thing that bothers me most about the illegal immigrants is that over the last 10 years I’ve lost 3 intelligent honest hard working immigrants who entered the country legally but because I couldn’t prove that they had a skill that American’s lacked they were deported.<BR/><BR/>Excellent post by the way also I bet Kathleen was one of the first legal immigrants to our great land.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952435078452465044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1146329135904251542006-04-29T12:45:00.000-04:002006-04-29T12:45:00.000-04:00So sorry about your pain.

Ditto on filling my gas tank!<BR/><BR/><B>Kathleen,</B> Thank you for the condolences. *hugs* The only solution to this illegal immigrant problem is zero tolerance. Until the Bushies get that message, we'll continue to have messes like this. It will be interesting to see what businesses shut down because the illegals are boycotting. Then WE need to boycot them.Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-1146321357477662712006-04-29T10:35:00.000-04:002006-04-29T10:35:00.000-04:00Oh my.
