Slavery was once legal....
Free labor...
Midspin, I deal with people who are illegally on my job, and not just Latinos. Russians, Africans, Middle Easterners, and the prevalant attitude is "I don't give a f***k!", many will scam, and steal, and make it harder for the people of said ethnicities. I've had a Guatamalan tell me that this is the United States of Amercas (emphasis on the s), many, due to being here illegally, drive w/o licenese, or insurance, and then drive drunk...and when they hit your car, they claim that they didn't know or it wasn't them...sure many come to work here, but it is how they got here...And people who usually break the law, think that they can break other laws---the hand in the cookie jar syndrome...
And don't let it be a West African, ohhhh, you want to talk about crafty...they know more about your own business and how to run it, without the MBA, and give them enough room, they become you, and you are none the wiser...until he hits someone-and he is drivinga expensive car in your name, that you bought, yet he is illegal and has been in and out of the country on various different issues.
the solution is to take the hard ass road, and say "you have to go", and enforce it. Enforce it also by giving huge fines to companies and corporations who hire illegal immigrants...fines so big that said companies wouldn't want to even think about hiring a illegal immigrant, or they might risk going out of business.
Because bottom line, it's about exploitation-companies are exploiting the illegal immigrants, and in return they are exploiting the American people...
