    Excuse me, but I grew up here, and remember who did this work in the 1960's and 70's.

    If anyone wants to bring "race and bigotry" into the picture, I'm hispanic.

    Has anyone verified that these actually were minimum-wage workers? I grew up in construction and didn't know many/any illegals that worked for minimum wage.

    Doesn't welfare make you go to a couple of job fairs or submit a couple of applications a week? This would be right up some slacker's alley. Get an interview, an application... off for another week!

    Are we STILL IN the 60's and 70's when you could buy a house for $10 to $25 grand? Didn't think so. Anything else change since then? Or do you also want to go back to the 50's when the Black's weren't allowed to vote and had to sit in the back of buses?

    Yeah, that's the worst kind of bigot! The kind that looks down on his/her own people who are trying to make a better life for themselves and puts all the stops in! Why don't you instead look at the plight of your people throughout history and find some way to help and make things better for them? God knows they are working hard to do the job themselves. They don't need the likes of *you* to help them. But just in case you might want to look at the other side ... Remember, you just happened to be born on the right side of the border. Yeah, that's mighty big of ya!

    Have you ever read the book "Rain of Gold" by Victor Villasenor? It goes all the way back into the 20's and shows the real life plight of the Latin American people in the last century. It would be an eye opener for you. Unless, of course, you don't look at *apostate* material lest it cause you to doubt.

    d.have high school diplomas

    e.accept the job if they get it

    Warlock,

    Ahhh, but your words betray you.

    Prove me wrong. Prove that I'm wrong about you. We can become freinds-maybe?

    Blue,

    Your right. You don't know Warlock. But I do. And you are way off base here. WAY OFF!! I can't believe you said that. Sounds like what you would hear at a Kingdom Hall. Before you judge someone you really ought to know that person. I don't want to be your friend.

    Awww now I'm gonna cry. Seriously tho I'm commenting in response to Warlocks comments. What else am I supposed to base my opinion on if I don't know the person? He could be a saint for all I know but I disagree with him here in this thread BASED ON what he himself is saying. If I am misunderstanding him he can clarify. After all this IS a discussion board, right? Why bother posting if you're not willing to make yourself clear?
