    think about it.
    i don't really see the logic in that? a good majority get paid half the price of a legal citizen and it's all under the table. that means that money is lost somewhere. and another good majority send their money back to mexico for their families so that definitely doesn't get put back in the community. also, construction has more workers than any other field including retail. i'm sure they would do just fine without them, they may just have to increase the budget. if you notice there's a shitload of development going on in the city of atlanta right now and 90% with the exception of sub-sub contracted employees are completely legal. the reason is if a huge developer gets caught violating laws like that then their asses get handed to them! and they would definitely spend more money than they saved using illegal workers. not trying to get into a racial debate or anything because i'm definitely not racist, just looking at it from an economical standpoint (my standpoint). i'm sure clark howard can name off 100 reasons why i'm wrong.

    back on subject:

    one time i saw lady change her kid's diaper on a mcdonalds EATING table right in front of everyone. wiping the ass and the whole nine yards. pleasant hill is high class living for sure.

    Clark Howard is not the only one who can find 100 reasons why your wrong... is easy.
    your economical standpoint is lame. Why? Because you are using the same excuse that most people always use.
    If they were sending "all there money" back to Mexico, wtf are they doing at walmart? all the business they open up in Doraville and Chamblee etc.. All the night clubs beeing open by mexican owners, all the contruction company they own.
    Sorry mexicans don't care what kinda off work they do and how much they get payed sometime, I mean lazy people will get off and get work.
    When I moved down here back in 96-97 I met this mexican guy who was good friends with my pops.. He came to this country legally, worked his ass off for a year or so, Open up his construction company a YEAR later..
    Now almost 10 years later, he has over 500 employees and owns a 500,000 home in FL and a couple of more houses here in GA.
    Now you know how many People actually end up like that, That actually come to this country from another place in the world ?? ALOT...
    And why you think so many COMPANIES have shit everywhere in spanish now also?? this country is ALL about the money... who cares where you from and what language you speak, is obvious to these big COmpanies that other races are spending alot of cash..... hnmm

    No offense to no one, But hispanics people are the hardest working people I have ever worked with.. Not saying that because Im hispanic, but I've been working in retail 10 years and have worked with all races and by far hispanics take the cake.

    It's a place where i can count how many i've been kicked out of. A place to enjoy the shopping skanks( c-town only lol), hot milfs on the occasion, bounce a ball of a friends head, ride a bike or two. Wal-mart is *sniffle sniffle* a bored man's dream.

    i have a huge respect for people that come from other countries legally . i'm one of a few handfull of people in my department that have legal citizenship. most of the staff is busting their asses in order to go through the hassles of all of the paperwork and the time it takes to do that. all so they can work. i don't think it's fair that these people and the people and your father's friend have to work so hard in order to work their jobs while other people slip through the system all because they're too lazy to process the paperwork. i feel this way about any of these people regardless of their background which is why i'm even replying to this so late anyways.

    and i agree about hispanics being work-horses, i feel the same way about the chinese who i'm working with now. 15-18 hour days like nothing.

    bottom line...my girlfriends grandfather owns a sheetrocking business and all with the exception of his son are hispanics and all legal...why you ask well her grandfather tried hiring her stepdad (a white man) well he expected to get paid full for half assed work. I mean hispanics do work very hard infact most people from different countries do as Julio pointed out. And why is that...well because we as a society have gotten too lazy and will not do "hard" labor anymore. I mean shit one of his workers sends half of his paycheck every week back to his family and you see him rolling around in a bad ass car for 1...2 he has a 7 bedroom house in mexico for his family and 3 he works his ass off to get paid. but thats just my 2 cents

    no Wal-Mart is pretty fun when you see people doing stupid stuff and come to find out that your one of them...
