Because as I stood in the corner hungry and poor waiting to work for almost nothing next to the Home Depot.
I angered many as they carried signs saying I was taking their jobs away.
I'm sorry but I thought you had better opportunities than me.
I thought you where rich
I though you had much
but now I see even though you ride nice cars , are sometimes fat, you must be realy needy since you say you need what I have.
Build your fence, we have no planes, visas, or plans. Hope you are safe.

First of all let me clarify the situation for those that only speak from what they hear on the TV. Illegals as many call them (Its funny how we don't even call murderers, child abusers illegal but we call those that cross into the US --Misdemeanor-- Illegal), do contribute a lot into the economy. Most end up paying taxes in many forms, sales tax, many illegals own homes and pay property taxes, those that make up social security numbers or use others SSN pay taxes that they never file to get refunds. Those that buy homes will fix the borrowed SSN's credit by paying off their collections and raising their credit scores so they can by homes. By working for cheap they help reduce the price of many items that we Americans use every day. You ***** about $3/gallon gas, how about $3 cabbage, $7/lb tomatoes, how about Motel 6 raising their price to $60 a night instead of $37. The fact is working Americans are getting old and many jobs are being left open. We need new young workers.Illegals put money into SS so the older americans can have health care.
Illegals don't use the health care system as many people claim. I know many that are too scared to go to the hospital or use any public aid. They will visit clinincs and pay cash or got to Catholic charities health centers and pay cash as well. The fact is that Americans themselves are draining the health care system not illegals.
I would stop deportations and raids now!!
give a period of 6-12 months were evey illegal would have to register. Those that don't would face fines or late fees to registered upto 30 days after the grace period. Have all of them go through background checks. Those that are cleared if the can prove they have been here 7+ years and have a family would be given citizenship. 3-6 yrs given residency. Less than 3 given a work permit and have to re-apply to get it again. Guest worker program as many illegals just come to work for a few months and return. Not everyone likes it here. Deport the criminals with violent crimes.

Many in this country do not have more opportunities then you.Most are not rich.Most do not have much.As for being fat,I have seen quite a few of fat illegals.The big difference here is that WE are legal.YOU are not.
And don't cry how poor you are I taught migrant workers.On the average they make $50,000 a year(that was 5 years ago).More then I made teaching them.
Most of that money is sent back to Mexico to pay off houses,buy farms,and helping to run your corrupt government and police.You receive social service and education while you are here even if your an illegal.Illegal children are allowed in our schools and receive free education, breakfast and lunch.
If I go to your country legally ,it would be almost impossible for me to get a job.I can't buy a house there.
Stop complaining and go back to your country and fix it.We worked hard and are still working hard to fix out government.

That's a helluva haiku from the type of guy who tried to pick up my Home Depot employee wife by pulling up his shirt and showing her his "battle scars" from a weedwacker injury while repeating "Bonita, Bonita". True story.
