On that I can agree. We recently had a new roof put on our house. It was done through SEARS contractors. I was assured and given proof that all the proper documentation was in place for the workers and insurance proof. Yada, yada, yada. Five men showed up - only one spoke English. I never saw anyone work as hard as they did. They got the job done in two days, and it's a big ranch house. Worked solid from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. We had to beg them to stop to eat lunch or drink a bottle of water, and they each apologized profusely for having to use the bathroom.

Still, illegal is illegal. Issue time stamped work passes, but how the heck does the U. S. government have the resources to monitor something like that?!~

I guess the answer would be to just deport the ones that are found and let the states do what they can to stop further illegal immigration.

I don't think the Feds really care.

Nope - the suits and skirts in DC want to keep as many votes as they can. And, that's precisely why that states are getting involved. No one should be against immigration. That's what this country was founded on. But illegal immigration is unfair to those who are trying to do it the right way and held in a hold pattern for years on end.

But, as the old saying goes, "Tiz easier to gain forgiveness than it is to obtain approval."

The one thing I dont understand is white American people who always get their panties in a bunch over the English language. "IF YOU DONT SPEAK ENGLISH YOU SHOULDNT BE IN AMERICA" crap. Like its a fault of somebody if they only speak Spanish. such hogwash.

There should be more pride in being bilingual. I mean, this is America right! A lot of people speak English and a LOT of people speak Spanish! Why are the English speaking folks "better" than Spanish speaking people? I'm embarrassed that I'm not fluent in Spanish. When I meet someone who speaks spanish & broken English, I dont think "oh.. well that guy needs to speak English if he wants to be in my country".. i feel embarrassed that I only know one language when most of the civilized world is bilingual!

If I went to live in France, Italy, or whatever country, I'd make an effort to learn the language. But, that's me!

People in those countries make the effort to learn TWO languages. I just think this country should be the same.
