Being skeered of them is, sadly, the whole key to the problem, I think.

Must be a great fright to think "they" might vote.

Nope, but "they" (those folks we never talk about individually, you know the one's we marginalise and try to dehumanize) could eat a chicken. I think I wouldn't put it pass "them".

I really think you are afraid to see for yourself...at least Steve has an excuse being out of the country..but that will soon change...are you that scared I might be able to show you something you so vehemently says does not exist?
Ya never answered the question.. don't you think they( the farmers and employers) would be upset if they have to start paying minimum wages? I thought you guys were all for the wage increase? Shouldn't everybody be entitled to it?

I wonder how many of them are paying cash and dont give a hoot about minimum wages, workmans comp, or any other responsible benefit.

They're all so good at posting links and facts, lets see what positive info others can come up with on illegals,in our country, I would assume this is what we are talking about. Dont get me wrong, I am all for legal immigrants making a good life in our country for themselves. Just make sure they are legal, tax paying members of our society.

Well just to clarify, I'm the one that posted the article a few pages back about the situation in Denver and what we typically consider minorities now being the majority in this city, the one I'm writing this from. So on that count alone, I'm not sure you can get far challenging the validity of commentary from me.

I'm sure you're right, JL, that the scary part involves thinking they might vote, or for that matter, even run for office, or just, you know, move into the neighborhood.

They are very scary in lots of ways, with all the problems they are responsible for.

In fact, they seem to be causing so many problems that when you think about it, you'd almost forget that we have any other problems Iraq economy environment education unemployment racism sexism mismanagement greed health care apathy at all!!!

They sure get quiet when they have more than one to jump on.
