Very true the only thing that is not all truth is paying taxes. If you may or may not no, many illegal immigrants pay taxes with false information, but none the less they pay taxes.
I use to work fo Abercombie & Fitch, your probably thinking how is that connected. well i was the overnight manager. I had to hire a team to come in after closeing time, 10pm and close down the store, meaning fold every single peice of clothing back to proper standards. I will tell you that it is very hard hireing legal citizens that would do that job. Many of my employees were illegal with false cards and information.
But they would never complain, always gratefull and always at 100% capacity.
I had 2 legal citizens that worked at night. My personal friend and a young teen. that was it. They all had their W2 forms and they all payed each year. So yes some do go along like pestasite and leaches without every paying taxes, but many others do pay taxes.

There isnt a difference between an illegal criminal and a legal criminal. Crime is crime. I hope you see that.
Peace.

For all who are complaining, here is a dose of reality. [ not specific to you Armour For Victor, I just liked your post.]
I have a friend who is hiring... He is looking for 1 engineer. He has gone through, literally 1000 resumes and around 100 interviews. NOT ONE interviewee wants the job, because it DOESN"T pay enough.
The job is for 40k with benefits, and an incentive performance bonus/commission at the end of the year. Total - 80K.
Every person he interviewed and declined, said it wasn't enough money!
Do you think this is just happening at this level? Professionals?
ANother example.
My niece works for a restaurant chain in Los Angeles. She is looking for entry people to start and then work up to manager. Initial pay is 8 Dollars/hr. WITH benefits (unheard of). Every person (about 50) that walks in (of all colors and races) want to immediately start as a manager, and they want to start at 10+ Dollars/hr. She finally hired a young black woman, a dropout who was willing to work hard and move up the ladder.
In this Economy... People turning down jobs!!!!
So don't tell me there are jobs being taken.. cuz nobody wants them, at least not at the pay levels being offered. THAT is what's wrong today. Everybody wants big money, and want to be managers, but don't want to put in the work.
Oh,... and as far as the engineering job... I TOOK IT!

Hehe even their own country doesnt want them!! HA!! I live in FL and see MANY illegals here and it's very annoying!
Now Mexico knows how the entire US feels when it comes to people illegally sneaking into OUR country. Great post!
This is the kind of post that makes some people support illegal immigrants' rights more. Do you know what this sounds like? This sounds like you don't think of them as human beings. They're "Illegals", just like Africans were "'n-word's". It dehumanizes them so you don't feel so bad making fun of them, laughing at their misfortune as this wonderful troll is so eagerly demonstrating.
I understand that our illegal immigrants shouldn't be here, but they do not need to be dehumanized, and people need to see both sides of the issue. If your family were starving, or being threatened by drug dealers, and the only way to make your life better were to be to leave your country illegally, wouldn't you?
Of course you would.
Mexicans are humans, just like you.
I live with this daily and it's very annoying and hurtful to people where I live. I have no problem with them and I know they are humans but they do not need to be here taking our jobs and then complaining how much they dont like this country. I know many people who are illegal and complain daily about what they dont have, yet they wont learn the language fully or do anything to be here legally yet they want to complain how we dont give them anything. I work hard for my money and this country and it is not fair that they are allowed here and do NOTHING to support this country. They work and pay no taxes yet we give them support and help?! How fair is that?!
I dont dehumanize them in any way. They need to do what is right to be here and they sure as heck shouldnt complain about what they dont have when they have more here than in their own country. I DO have family in this situation and they annoy me. My sisters mother in law has been here 30 years and doesnt speak English and is here illegally, yet she complains about everything and how we should speak Spanish! She is not the only person I know like this. So my family is in this situation and I think they need to do what is required to be here and not complain otherwise leave! I am more than willing to help people less fortunate but when you complain about what you have when you are breaking the law then I am sorry no I will not support you in any way. This is my own opinion, sorry if it offends anyone. This topic just really hits home more than anything.

Ha ha, can you imagine if Native Americans felt this way, and had enough resources? Man, America wouldn't exist like it does now. We came to THEIR COUNTRY, stole THEIR RESOURCES, ruined THEIR LAND and slaughtered anyone who thought to argue!
This country was FOUNDED by illegal immigrants. Show some damn respect to your heritage and patriotism towards your country's history.

Sadly, he had about 40 resumes from detroit, you know, out of work auto workers. He showed me some of their letters declining the job, and they all pretty much said the same thing....
I need more money.
Truly sad.

I will not work with a Hispanic "they make me look bad". They are real go getters they work the hardest of any I have seen. Unfortunately they were doing the jobs that a lot would not do and I give a lot of them respect for that.
Someone needs to do the jobs kids out of school are not dependable and the ones that are they think there the boss after a week and wont more pay for the same work. My money goes to the one that deserves it. I just wish more would become citizens and if my kids were going hungry I wouldnt think twice about jumping a boarder.
They are not all dogs or scum and like I said I wish more would become citizens that way I would not have any reason to disk like the things they do.

What about the criminals here, in your backyard?
Many illegals do become criminals regardless if their mexican, asian, african, indian, english. Criminals are criminals, so why even bring that up. You can take all the illegal people in this country, down to the smallest infant and I almost certain we will still have negative media coverage all over the states. School shooting here, robbery there and murder here. Doesnt change anything.
Peace!
