Anyway, I've seen forged documents. Our boys in blue regularly tear up "pink cards" which they buy in L.A. for $20 a pop. Forged CA DL's are generated locally. Soc. Sec. checks were issued to 1st gen. Mexican Americans - and before a law passed, these individuals would use a stateside PO Box, and live in Mexico. Mexicans don' get soc. sec. Yes, illegal immigrants are in the local county hospital - not the 3 owned by CHW - or other groups - they don't accept them.
All the above are true statements, and I have personal proof of each. Oh, and yes they use "fake" soc. sec. numbers, and if you're a lucky one, yeah it will go into yours, but on your statements if you notice it, you're defrauding the gov. if you don't correct it.
I believe people have the right to say and do what they want within the law, and that is what I served for. I have the same rights, and may disagree with, say, extremists on either side but I generally don't take it personally.
I regularly see caucasian Americans by the roadside with cardboard signs of "please help" or "hungry". I don't see them in the fields. Conversely, I don't see, say people of color with the signs, but I do see them in the fields. Personal observations here.
Oh, and I laughed when the news broke they were sending "National Guardsmen" to the border, ummm, they've been there in my state for at least a decade.
And lastly, not all illegal drugs are imported. Don't forget, marijuana and methamphetamines, not to mention ecstacy, LSD, and PCP are generated from this here United States. The recent crackdown on ingredients for meth has fueled Mexicos importation and exportation of those ingredients and meth itself recently though.

I guess I owe Tuffy an apology - he didn't suggest that Moore be deported, just "arrested and tried for crimes against the United States."

People are passionate about their politics. I was interested in where Tuffy said there was a post "for the military guys to calm down". I didn't read that...if it was the Moore post. Must have missed that part.

| Re: Illegal immigrants selling counterfeit documents You're right Scout - people ARE passionate about politics. I have been heavily involved in politics since I can remember. Opinions in the paper, fundraiser dinners, helping out a party HQ on election night, etc... But a funy thing happened - I woke up one day and said "that's it...I'm done". No more stress, headaches, fighting, and back-biting. I also realized something - NO MATTER HOW I FEEL - I CAN'T CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So....with that in mind, there is one thing that binds us - our love for our motorcycles. I would ride with CBRVFR and other "commies" (just kidding CBR) any day of the week! Just no politics!!!

As far as breaking the law, show where it is my responsibility to confirm citizenship.
The industry has made great strides to mechanize the work but you still hace to do some of the work by hand. We have one machine that is a life saver as far as work goes but it still has limitations. $225,000 and is 26,000lbs.
I do not think you would let me pull this in your 36" gate to your back yard and trim your prize winning oak tree that uncle Hershel planted back before he went off to the civil war would you. | So how much were you being payed when you were offering $7-$8 for labor in hazardous areas? It was the '90s after all. I guess I've just figured out why you can't find American slaves anymore (@ $7-$8 for hazardous duty).

| Re: Illegal immigrants selling counterfeit documents Let me add an additional observation- the contractor our housing association hired to rework the condo complex was clearly "implementing" illegals. These guys were NOT hard workers, were NOT careful, and didn't seem at all very skilled. For anyone to conclude that because any of these guys are working in a field, on a site, and any job doing xxxxxxxxx for a slave rate of pay that most self-respecting people wouldn't bother with, they are hard workers has got something coming to them. They're nothing but shady opportunists operating outside the law in a society that unfortunately has tolerated it, under a government that has failed to enforce its own regulations.
If they're hard workers or not, that's an attribute of the individual and not an aspect of where they came from, what race they are, or what they've been through. |

Fu** them!!!!!! | You sir, are totally clueless.
Do you own a service industry business?
My Dad owns a janitorial company. Everyone he ever hired had proper papers. Did he spend thousands of dollars doing background checks on guys working for $8-10 hour? No, he's a businessman and trying to make a living. The very BEST workers he EVER hired were several El Salvadoreans that came here in the 80's fleeing unpleasantness no American has ever had to contemplating living in.
The only native born Americans he ever hired either a) had criminal records (a serious risk when your guys are getting keys and alarm codes to billion dollar semiconductor fabs) or were students (who are the very WORST when it comes to theft).
It's like Jaim and Sheep's bullshit assertion mechanization is the answer. If you think that's true, you apparently have never spent a day in the fields...or cleaning a toilet.
CBRVFR is not spewing any "jack booted liberal" propaganda.
This is a VERY complicated issue, that shooting Mexican men, women, children is never going to solve.
Aside from the practical side, damn, you are some cold blooded mother****ers to advocate something like that. No matter what these people's citizenship is, they are human beings. They just didn't win life's lottery by being born into a "first world" nation. They got the consolation price...being born into a neighboring country. |

You start out somewhere, and you pay for your education.
I have a friend, "white American" for all the closet racists that show up in these threads, who started out pushing a broom for $7/hr at construction sites in the 90s. Now he makes good money as a supervisor. But he started where anyone would as a laborer. |

I deleted the post because I thought about it....too harsh and you are entitled to your opinion!

And thanks for proving that a whitie, or any American, will work for $7.

| Re: Illegal immigrants selling counterfeit documents Nedro, with your statements above you are trying to insuinuate that because I am a supervisor I am making more $$ per hour. Yes I am. But it did not start out like that, I started working in the tree industry for $3.35 an hour doing the same job these men did for me, so I am not asking them to do any different than I did. Have you done a rate comparison for Texas in that time frame or just shooting your gums again with no earthly idae of what you are talking about? Pay rates are lower in Texas, and with that comes lower property rates, etc, etc....
I have always offered a fair wage, even paying more than the competition because I expect them to work.
I have earned my keep in the industry,and worked hard for it . Have you? |

Ok...it's confirmed Sheep - you are indeed my long lost brother. Seamus was WRONG, however, when he said that the border states are crazy, free gun carrying states. California certainly is NOT - that would be too democratic and free for the state. They only want to take AWAY your constitutional rights unless it benefits them - like flag burning, pissing on sidewalks, shitting on my lawn - but that's free speech right?
