My wife is a legal immigrant, she and I went through all the proper procedures and spent around $600. She also has several friends that are legal immigrants and they're all very upset with this, it just isn't fair to let these illegal immigrants do anything else but GO HOME!

One of my wife's friends went through all kinds of trouble to get her work permit. She was here as a legal immigrant for 3 years without having permission to work because the INS kept loosing her paper work, yet these illegal immigrants just come her and start working, yea, real fair.

Now they want amnesty, I'm just steaming mad about this!

What really gets me is they are willing to work for a portion of what a job should pay. I lived in Michigan for 40 years, when I was in high school I knew many kids that made good money picking fruit in the fall. Then the migrant workers started coming here and worked for a small portion of what these high school kids were getting. Say bye bye to all those good jobs for the students. If a farmer could hire a migrant worker for $2 a day or a high school kid for $3.60 to $5.00 an hour, who do you think the farmer is going to hire? It might have been good for the consumer if the prices reflected the farmers new picking costs, but they didn't. The farmers kept charging the same prices as before and kept the extra money.

Next thing you know, there not going back when the harvest season is over, there staying here illegally and taking other jobs away from American workers. Mostly I see them working construction, hanging drywall, again for just a portion of the normal pay. Again, housing costs didn't go down, contractors just pocketed the extra money.

Here in America, people have a dream of someday owning a home to raise a family, a home of their own. The illegal immigrants are willing to live 5 families in a house, because it's better than where they came from.

In summery, there taking our jobs and our way of life.
