If all illegal immigrants (not immigrants - ILLEGAL immigrants) are made legal - there will be a new wave of illegal immigrants and all the "old" ones will lose their jobs to the new ones who will work for less money.

What I learned from yesterdays events...

There was ZERO traffic on the way to work. The offramp I exit usually has a wait of 3-4 lights before getting through. I was the only one exiting yesterday. There was only 1 person in line at the drive through during lunch instead of 5 or 6. Lot's of kid were absent from school... wouldn't it be nice if overcrowding was reduced all the time.

The only way I was impacted was in a positive way.

The news calls it Immigrants Day and what not and that's just a blatent lie. It's not IMMIGRANTS - but people who are doing something that is blatently illegal.

I would love to have each company have a way to securely check S.S. cards. Then - CRACK DOWN on EMPLOYERS.

No jobs. No pay. No people thinking there will be a better job here.

Just think of what all of those people who protested could do if they all stood together in Mexico. No work, no school, just one big - HEAR US! Think of the change they could bring about in Mexico!

Personally, I would rather pay higher prices for vegetables then health care.

And all this - they are doing jobs American's won't do. That's incorrect. It should be - they do jobs american's won't do for less then minimum wage. I know plenty of people who would work in a restauraunt or in construction. Just think - we might actually have a kid from down the street mow our lawn and earn some money - an actual paper boy from our neighborhood.

I find myself more worked up over this issue then really -anything other I can think of. A vote on this issue, for me, takes precendence over a woman's right to choose - and that is something I never thought I'd be willing to budge on. Of course, I don't think it'll ever come down to that. both political parties are so incredibly stupid that the "immigrant vote" is clearly more important then my own is.
