Reply #5: Radwriter0555, that's really not true, not at all.

I personally think we need to drastically limit illegal immigration and H1B visas.

Look what's happened to America. We have no blue collar jobs anymore, and our white collar jobs are now going overseas too. Every day on my drive to work, I see Mexicans working in the fields, the traditional immigrant laborers. But then I see them working road construction and landscaping. Then I see them working in fast food restaurants, doing roofing, and janitorial jobs.

When the job market is tight and there's a need for labor, then it's not a big issue. But when American citizens are losing their jobs and unemployment benefits, it's time to clamp down until things get better.

I've got a lot of respect for Mexican laborers, both legal and illegal. They work their friggin asses off, and save enough money to REALLY help their families back in Mexico. I want them to be able to gain the same dream that Americans have, a comfortable life, a nice home, freedom from want, etc. However, I think we owe it to our fellow citizens to take care of them before we start taking care of others.

We've already lots millions of jobs to maquiladora's in Mexico and sweatshops in China. We're losing thousands more to outsourcing in India.
