"Mecklenburg building permits for new homes fell almost 40 percent in the past year. The Pew Hispanic Center reported that 29.9 percent of all recently arrived foreign-born Hispanics held construction jobs in 2006."
That is a LOT of jobs citizens could have been working, and that is just one VERY SMALL small area of the country!!!!!
Obviously, tens of thousands of construction jobs were taken from citizens.

I've decided that I am going to finncially boycott anything that is even remotely atttached to illegal immigration, including anyone who would aid, or abet, illegal immigrants. Hopefully I can help the exodus.

Looks like illegal immigration is impacting the black community in a very negative way. Wonder how the Rainbow Coalition explains that away."A Nation of sheep will beget a government of Wolves" -Edward R. Murrow
