By Hernán Rozemberg - Express-News The combination of a lack of jobs due to a worsening economy and an unprecedented series of governmental work raids have got immigrants down in the dumps, according to findings in a new survey.

The Pew Hispanic Center, a nonprofit research think tank based in Washington, concluded that Hispanics across the country, and in particular immigrants, are increasingly concerned about staying employed and being deported.

According to Pew's annual national survey of Latinos, nearly two-thirds of Latino immigrants said their lives have worsened over the last year and nearly as many fear that they, their relatives or their friends could be arrested at any time and shipped out of the country.

“There has been significant deterioration in the mood of Hispanics,â€

Fifty-eight percent of U.S-born Latinos don't support employers signing up, while 63 percent of immigrants don't like the idea.

Fifty-eight percent of U.S-born Latinos, i.e., American citizens who identify as Latino, do not support E-Verify.

Why? Are they anchor babies. Parents are illegal invaders? What's really going on here?

Why?

Um....maybe because their illegal alien family members will be in deep doo doo? And they care more about them than they do the well-being of the United States?

Wrong here is the Translation: We have criminally broke into this country as an Illegal Alien. In many cases we have commited ID fraud to get jobs or steal money by ID theft and ruined normal peoples credit and taken jobs from the American citizens and NOW they are starting to wake up from a very, very long sleep only to find that we and criminal politicians have robbed this country to the bone... there is nothing left so we must go home because of the severe financial crisis thats about to smack Americans in the face because of the Subprime credit crisis that criminal politicians allowed us to get...

So now we are contimplating the swarm of locusts to go south until the next feeding in America

Of course, it is America's fault again because the current economic situation is not as happy and healthy as it should be, and these illegal folks are depressed. What about the host country's workers that have been thrown out of jobs because of this illegal invasion? How in-humanitarian of me to even mention that possibility.
My suggestion is go home and reform thine own country.

Americans are pessimistic about life in the USA also!! But we don't have another country to escape to!!!

So true. If you watched Glenn Beck tonight the future is looking bleak folks. If its bleak for us, just think what is for them. They will leave they won't have a choice.
