I've had enough of these guys taking away American JOBS.

You know--I walk around downtown New Bedford every day. Unless it's really freezing, not a day goes by without me being approached by 3-4 panhandlers. "I'm an out of work fisherman, can you spare some change so I can get something to eat?". Every single one of them looks able bodied enough to run some sort of machine, or to use a fillet knife to cut fish in the fish houses. And here's something else--every one of them speaks English without a trace of a foreign accent.

What the illegals are taking are jobs that Americans don't want.

YOU dam right MIKE P and it ain't just in NewBedford, its seems like people who know what the faces are like in Newbedford are always ready to take a cheap shot at NewBedford people.

Tell that to the few thousand framers that are unemployed right now while most every piece of new home construction is being put up by illegal Brazilian labor.

Just a couple of random thoughts about this post....
Is there a political action group that will take care of the children of drug dealers caught in a drug sweep? I don't mean Social Services.

I have mixed feelings on the "they're taking our jobs" line. On one hand I have been in Arizona and seen the "Now Hiring" signs on the farms. Not a white face in that crowd. So the dude who is picking lettuce/tomatoes/okra/melons in July sure as hell isn't taking a job away from anybody I know. That falls in the category of jobs that you couldn't pay me enough to do.

Now as far as carpenters go, down here in 93 they were all white and black. I don't know many of either now, they are all Hispanic, non union and will work anywhere for less than most. None on the shrimp boats though.
