They should be rounded up too.

So I guess factory work is now considered by Bush to be jobs that Americans are too lazy to do, too.

Fossill Factory? As in watches?
Anyway again jobs Americans won't do?
Sheesh, these people are coming in and overtaking what little is left of the manufacturing jobs. If not for these Illegals, Americans could be occuping these jobs with decent wages, benefits,,,But NOOOOOO! Corporate Greed strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!
