This is a trend that disturbs me most. Americans are mostly money-grubbers, and immigrants who come here are no different. Forget the myth of the hard working foreigner; today they want to move up as fast as they can. I have horror stories I can share about immigrants who have become professionals and then proceeded to fleece trusting US citizens.

But what really gets my goat now, are these small business people who whine that they could not make it without illegal immigrants. Didja ever hear about working at a job?? Here a story in today's newspaper:

Doug Torn, who raises mountain laurel and rhododendrons in North Carolina complains " Most people don't want to get their hands dirty and sweat on the job. We use the guest worker program because we don't have the domestic workers to fill the spots"

Mr. Torn, who said you even need to have your laurel and rhododendron business in the first place? I suppose Americans are supposed to compromise their nation and society so that you can be a successful entrepreneur? Bullshit!! And there are hundreds of thousands more like him in this nation who have "hitched their wagon" to the star of illegal immigration. I see them everywhere: Little crackpot businesses: painting contractors, roofing businesses, small landscape operations--they all seem to think that they deserve to have a retinue of illegals helping them towards success. Mr. Torn is also, according to the article, lobbying Congress on behalf of the Senate immigration bill.

So now do you see who the enemy is? Not just big businesses. Small time American{MOD EDIT}, too.
