That would be a lot funnier if it weren't so true. I used to do legal transcription work and the bulk of it was workers' comp cases. Quite a large portion of these cases involved Mexicans working here in the US. Some of these Mexicans were found to be illegally here, yet they were given disability for getting hurt on the job!!! They should have been given a free ride to the Mexican border and kicked right over. I'm all for trying to better your life and I know that, for a lot of Mexicans, their lives can be improved if they come here to find work BUT doing it illegally is WRONG! Actually, I'm not really fond of letting so many Mexicans into this country legally at this time because the economy is so poor. My son has been trying to find work for over a year now and has been unsuccessful. He's even tried to get a job with landscaping companies and road crews but they have all the help they need... from all the Mexicans coming here to work. It is so very wrong on so many levels to allow any foreigners here to find work when American people are having such a hard time finding work. The Mexicans seem to get the jobs that would keep American heads above water right now. That pisses me off to no end!!! I say do whatever is needed to keep the illegals out. Charity begins at home, right? We need to ensure that American people have the jobs they need before we even allow the legal immigrants in!
