You guys like to claim the following:
1) Undocumented immigrants drain the public coffers
2) They are rapists, they are murderers (thanks Donald)
3) They have lower IQ's than American citizens
5) They import socialism and communism to America
These claims are pure bullshit and a way to not confront the REAL reason for the animosity against immigrants. I acknowledge and can agree somewhat with some of you who say I play the racist card a bit much. Because the REAL reason is also not because some of you are racists. The REAL reason? For native born Americans immigrants are down right intimidating. Both undocumented and documented.
Your undocumented Guatemalan working 10-12 hour work days on construction at a high level of productivity is intimidating for native American construction workers.
That undocumented Mexican will harvest more than double the number of apples or cherries than a locally hired AMerican to do the same job. Dishwashers in restaurants? same thing.
That Honduran woman working in the old peoples home does not complain about back aches as much as the native American employee doing the same job.
That Indian software engineer on an H1Visa working in Silicon Valley is not conflicted working 60 hour work weeks while his American counter parts want to go rock climbing on the weekends.
What about that Chinese student in the AMerican University? How does his report card compare to the local native AMerican student? Study habits?
Immigrants, documented and undocumented, are harder workers, more ambitious, more driven to get ahread. In other words, they embody the very spirit of what has made America such a driven striving country. It has always been like this. Nothing has changed has it? Oh yes, something has changed and it is the slovenly despondent work ethic of your average AMerican. That is what has changed.
Think I am making this all up? How about a link to some article regarding this? OK.

What I hear does not speak well for American workers.
Employers tell me that American workers fail drug tests, show up to work late, rush out at quitting time, pretend to be sick when they want to ditch, refuse to do certain jobs and generally act like they’re doing the employer a favor just by clocking in.
So ASG70, think again when you claim undocumented immigrants come here only to make anchor babies
Cog, think again when you think undocumented immigrants are importing socialism.
Tire, think again if you think AMericans can pick up the slack if we deport all those nasty rapist and murdering immigrants.
So the remedy?
Every American born construction worker should wake up every morning and say to himself. I am going to out perform Juan Fernandez today.
Every American born software engineer should wake up every morning and say to himself: " I am going to work longer hours this week than Pradesh Patel.
Every American born nurses aid should wake up every morning and say to herself " I am going to do a better job of cleaning those bed pans than Carmen.
Every American college student should set the goal for himself to score higher on the next upcoming exam than Zhang Wei.
Or we can just put on our red hats and deport them all.....
