95. I think everyone being hurt are human
The people in this country are taking their economic frustrations out on the illegals when in reality its the corporate world along with the government that had this all planned out. Bush took three trips down to Mexico early in his presidency. He , no doubt, told Fox to ship all his people into the US , because he liked the idea of cheaper labor competing against living wages.

My Grandfather, my Father and I fought for these wage increases, many died during the early years of unions and the struggle to be treated like human beings. Now we have millions coming from a foreign country undercutting us. How the Hell am I supposed to welcome them? Everything we fought for and just to give it up and give them my blessings. "oh thanks guys, we appreciate you taking our jobs and bringing the wages down"

Not gonna happen.
