AS, So ready to dig ditches, watch your own kids and wash your own dishes? I dug ditches for my family while my mom watched me and washed the dishes. Not all kids grew up smoking dope ... ;-) Tenchusatsu

RE:"What they do 95% of the time is bust their buns doing stuff we don't want to do. So ready to dig ditches, watch your own kids and wash your own dishes?" Pretty much how great civilizations end. Like Rome.

"So ready to dig ditches, watch your own kids and wash your own dishes?" What is wrong with doing these things? Or better yet, what is right about not doing them? Especially taking care of your own kids...

The Police busting business leaders and wealthy housewives? I'll believe that when I see it. I bet that's what Ken Lay thought when the Enron brouhaha started. Right now in my affluent neighborhood, within a 1000 yard radius of me there are probably 100 illegal aliens working as housekeepers, gardeners, nannies and dishwashers. Every business and wealthy family in the niehgborhood would have to be arrested. Talk about impossible. It won't take all of them.......just a few; the rest will desist asap. Also, don't we all like to be able to hire cheap servants when we need them? Are you suggesting that American workers who are citizens should eat cake? And contrary to reports the vast majority of these illegals are very honest and hardworking. So what.......American workers are very honest and hardworking and they don't wave the flag of other countries. They are not on the dole or stealing. Some of them smoke dope, but so what? That shouldn't be illegal anyway. What they do 95% of the time is bust their buns doing stuff we don't want to do. So ready to dig ditches, watch your own kids and wash your own dishes? You are significantly out of touch with the average American. You also reduce your own credibility.
