Why is it that hispanics think that they are the only 'illegals' that we are concerned with? I am also concerned with illegals from: the middle east; russia; pakistan; india; and africa.

That's just heart warming. The real story is casinos hire illegels openly and have never had to pay for it! I'm boycotting vegas till el reido is out of office and the casinos are held responsible for their black market labor!

All Casinos here in Ca use E-verify.

You can bet none of the Casinos in Vegas do. Harry would have never been re-elected without all those illegals voting.
