First of all, what company are you working for that pays $20/hr and then changes its policy to knowingly hire illegal immigrants?
Every single labor contractor that I ever worked for since I was fourteen. Even friends of mine can no longer afford to take the risk of hiring me, and choose Mexicans instead. A local Union house has even gone down this road in the last two years.
Ever think of getting a job that's not so easily taken by someone who doesn't speak the language, and can live off of next to nothing?
As far as nationalism/racism goes, well, I had assumed that you were just spouting the same racism-inspired rhetoric that many other so-called nationalists spout, but again, if you're speaking from a history of personal experience, I can't really argue there.
...but now I can understand and respect where you're coming from.
...but your picture of John Adams freaks me out, as I have an irrational fear of wig-powder.

It's all legal, so what could the problem be?
Um, maybe the illegals.
And isn't it against the law in Mexico for Americans to own property too?
BTW, I'm no doctor or lawyer, and my company wouldn't risk losing me for someone who barely spoke the language. I suppose it's a challenge in self improvement and natural selection.
But, if you want job security, you might want to look into making yourself worth keeping.
BTW, even legal aliens can take your job if they're willing to do it for less.
Right, because you're entitled.
No. it's illegal for any foreigner that isn't a citizen to buy land 10 kilometers from the ocean, not just Americans. So how do you think that all the foreign citizens (including many Americans I know) own their own houses and property in Mexico?

Mexicans Urged To Reclaim a Piece of Texas

Texan estate agents are heading south of the border to drum up the interest in buying cut-price land and property in the foreclosure-hit state.
Thanks to a rising Mexican peso and an economy which is growing faster than that of the US, a country that has previously been looked on by America as a source of cheap labour is now seen as a potential source of rich investors.
