> Another proud citizen of the Commercial States of America......... You can thank Unions and Lobbyists in general for causing most of the problems we have in this country. If the Mexicans don't pick the lettuce it would cost $9.99 a head and we are not gonna stand for that ! Like you said everyoe want's to bitch about foreigners but they are here because there is an opening that needs filled. If we have unemployment why are there jobs for mexicans to fill ? We have no unemployment, it's a selective-employment issue.... because we apparently have enough spare jobs to hire millions of Mexicans. I live in Florida and most of the ag work here is done by latinos because the spoiled american kids won't do the work for the wages they pay. Somebody's gotta do if if we won't..... Americans in general have become as fat, lazy and worthless as the corporations that control everything. But it's still the best place to be born even if it's not the best place to live. So to all Americans, raise your flag to the dollar and take your Prozac with your Budweiser while you ring in the new year and make a resolution that you know won't last.
