Very nice.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

What will be the next jobs segment that Americans won't do (at that price)?
First it was field work, then restaurant busboy and dish washing, now unskilled construction labor.
There are illegals here now in the skilled trades, and some working retail.
Then what -- Paralegals and researchers? Will the only segments without this downward pressure be college professors?
Considering the pay and job security, PhD candidates and TA's could be considered illegals.

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

I hate how some people think that we have some sort of obligation to keep people who broke the law to get here.

I also get annoyed when people act like we have an obligation to take in the pore'n'starvin from some shitty country that they fucked up.
