I totally agree with you here, l live in Dallas, Texas ..they are looked down on and its a real shame. They are hard working people which is hard to come by in the UK...my husband trains alot of latinos and they are willing to learn they take great pride in everything they do. Who would do the jobs if they were not here the americans? dont think so.
Who did 'em before?

By before I mean, before the "recent" influx of cheap labor dropped wages to the point that many Americans can't afford to take those jobs.

That's the exception. The average American family has 2 kids now...some more, some less. Almost half of the U.S. population growth is due to immigration. If there was no immigration, we could see a population decline.

In other words (not that I believe any of your dross) your husband is exploiting illegals and probably committing tax fraud to boot. Care to tell us exactly which benevolent company he works for?

Where did she say illegals? She said latinos. There are a few legal ones of 'those' I believe.

Then her husband would be "training" Americans wouldn't he? The answer to the question was regarding Mexicans. Not Mexican-Americans or American citizens of Hispanic descent. They are two different groups and we ALL know exactly what this thread is about ..... I'm just cutting through the bullshit.

Could be. Afraid I'm not PC enough lol, I really thought (especially the prejudiced) just think of the latinos from Mexico as Mexicans (didn't bother with the hyphonation). I still think they probably do. When I lived in Arizona and heard about "the Mexicans" no distinction was made between legals and illegals.

And to tell you the truth, I could say - oh I met a Mexican guy - and he very well could be Mexican-American technically. I would have just though of it as country of origin, I certainly don't mean any harm by it.

So the distinction had truly escaped me. Don't know about her.

The Mexican culture is very popular in Texas. We have a huge population of people of Hispanic descent. The ranks of our politicians, bankers, lawyers, doctors and celebrities are FULL of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. They are not looked down upon. They are a fully embraced and beloved part of Texas. What the shit-disturbers are talking about is the way SOME non-English speaking illegals get treated ..... which is basically akin to slavery. They are worked like farm animals by greedy employers and are resented by the working class for (real or imagined) the crime of taking away jobs because they will work for 2 -3 dollars per hour.

I'm sick and tired of stupid, clueless people telling me what the hell is going on here - when I live with it every single day - SO I THINK I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, OK?

My goodness, I didn't say what went on in Texas in particular. I just talked about what prejudiced people I personally had met. I hope you didn't mean me?
