Dear Mexican: Why do Americans ***** about Mexicans stealing jobs? I see white guys overseeing Mexican crews constantly. The only thing I can think of that would make a white guy hire Mexicans is if they’re willing to work for less pay than Americans. Lots of Americans like getting more for less, so why do they complain if lots of American bosses like getting more for less? Also, lots of Americans praise values like working hard and taking care of their families, yet jobs go unfilled because they won’t “work beneath their dignity.” Mexicans will “work beneath their dignity” so they can feed their families. So how do Mexicans “steal” jobs that Americans don’t want, and why is it bad that they work like this? Am I missing something here?

Dear Hoser: Why do Americans ***** about Mexicans stealing jobs? Why does the Mexican jumping bean jump? Gabachos whining about immigrants (whether legal or illegal) undercutting the American working man is as essential to this country’s bedrock of liberty as the blood spilled on Iwo Jima. What’s most fascinating about this psychosis is how it continues to persist despite everyone knowing who the true culprit is: the free market. Sorry, Tom Tancredo: You can erect all the border walls and sic all the migra agents you want to keep Mexicans away, but if Big Business wants wabs, Big Business will get wabs. Deny our captains of industry the right to hire whom they please, and we’ll turn into a country with a stagnant economy—like, say, Mexico.

The newest state, Old Mexico.....

What if there was a way, to make Mexico a state, then there would be no reason the leave for here, they`d be here already.
Hmmm, Old Mexico.
I guess first there should be a report of WMD`s, that would get the old ball rolling.

I agree... If you have your own opinion, state it. But if somebody before you said it better, there are always the use of quotations. Sure, somebody may have already heard it, but so what? Just because some people are lacking in the creativity department doesn't mean you have to snap at them.

I`m sorry if I hurt your feelings, didn`t mean to snap (or appear to) but that was the original request of the author.
You can vote and move on, someone with creativity, and an opinion, is waiting to post.

I think it would cost the same. If there is a cost savings by building the HHR in Mexico, it helps to balance out the expense of building other vehicles in the US. I'm sure we didn't get a discounted price.
