Matching the pattern set in coverage of Arizona’s immigration enforcement law, the broadcast network evening newscasts on Thursday night all framed their stories on Alabama’s “severeâ€

American citizens are the real victims, forced to pay for benefits for the invaders and pushed out of jobs. Where's the MSM coverage of citizens?

UNIDENTIFIED TEENAGE BOY: They're saying we can't have the same rights as citizens because they're not citizens, but I really want to know what's the real definition of citizen?

Definition ;

Person who is entitled to enjoy all the legal rights and privileges granted by a state to the people comprising its constituency, and is obligated to obey its laws and to fulfill his or her duties as called upon.


Further evidence of the failure of our educational system to educate adequately.

STRASSMANN: And you're in trouble.

SMITH: I'm in trouble, bad trouble.

STRASSMANN: Smith's 200 acres need 20 pickers, mostly Mexican nationals.

SMITH: There's not enough documented people here to supply that work force.

STRASSMANN: Most of your workers are here illegally.

SMITH: Sure, if they got documentation, they've got a better job than working for me.
STRASSMANN: Smith's pickers make about $100 a day. He supports immigration laws, just not this one that threatens his third-generation family farm.

SMITH: You want to get rid of illegal immigrants, quit eating. And that's for everybody nationwide. If you want to get rid of them, quit eating. That will solve the problem.

I could probably afford another $.05 for a sweet potato so he could afford to pay a little more. He states he supports immigration laws,, just not the ones that apply to him. He probably pays them cash , so they pay no taxes on earnings to the state or the federal government. $100 a day for a job that requires no education or literacy what so ever,,, not too bad. If that is not a living wage , as he seems to suggest, did it ever occur to him to ask exactly how they are living? There have been mechanisms in place for decades that allow him to hire LEGAL non citizen labor . He just simply does not want to do it for the same reason Illegals do not want to enter the country legally, IT TAKES EFFORT AND TIME. Much easier to ignore the law and regulations and just do what you want.

I'd work for $100 a day.
