Yes and I have paid the penalties for doing such just as 'lv'
has
and the illegal invaders should. Too bad you are so uninformed.

This is insane. Many people are all bent out of shape because some
Mexicans are pursuing a life of prosperity here in American by taking
low paying jobs that Americans refuse to do. These Mexican people work
hard for little pay and they are setting an example of what a strong
work ethic really is, yet these same Americans are completely silent on
the mass exodus of well paying jobs that are being outsourced to foreign
countries, even jobs to develop software and technology that our
military uses. Go figure!

I do see the problem of government services being stretched thin in some
areas by needy illegal Mexican immigrants. This is why our government
needs to develop a set of balls and start billing the Mexican government
and the employers of illegal immigrants to cover the cost of the social
services and other services their immigrant employees use.

Some ignorant, unhappy, xenophobic photographers, ever on the alert
for the next thing to fear, like to position themselves as piñatas.

It's probably nothing to do with photography, these things rarely have
anything to do with the subject matter of the posted groups and there
have been a fair few racist posts here.

Yes, and I never ran from the cops either, did you pick up my tab for it?
Did you offer me temporary housing? Did you offer to feed me? Did you offer
to pay all my medical bills? Have you ever offered me a job and were going
to pay all my costs related to that job?

Are you willing to share your wife or girlfriend with me? On my terms?

Sheesh, you're not very well informed are you. They take professional jobs,
jobs in the trades and city jobs. They often get payed more than 20 dollars
and hour and no deductions. As to outsourcing there has been lots of
complaints about that as well, where have you been?

How are they going to do this when you like others excuse it all away.

So how do you like it when they have protest marches and demand rights that
do not exist?

How fair is it to all those that immigrated responsibly taking 8 or more
years to go through the procedure, were medically inspected and can
actually speak and read English?

How do you like paying more for your house because of all the illegal
aliens?

I think that we agree. It's fortunate that the U.S.A. doesn't
border some country other than Mexico, such as, umm, Poland? There
may already be the odd, unhappy photographer or painter considering
sending his "My Struggle" to a vanity press, modestly thinking that
it would contain a solution to the problems of the modern era.
