swatchick, the thing that's funny about them using decks for extra sleeping quarters could not happen here. We are cold and wet 9 months out of the year, as well, the one thing I am finding is the illegals in our area rarely want to rock the boat, they want to stay out of the publics eye.
Though, I do think if we were not living here, they would be doing more things which were questionable.
As for the roaches swatchick, we used to not have them till the manager next door to us moved out and illegals moved in. Cockroaches are not native to the Northwest at all. Our landlord did not want to abate them, but we forced him to as it is a law that is strictly enforced by the state, and he knew it too.
We also had to call the landlord on these people next door, as they were piling their garbage up in the garage for about a week at a time, and we share that wall and could smell it into the kitchen! Now I ask, why? What is that issue about not throwing your garbage away?
OK, I am really off topic, I know."In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, Brave, Hated, and Scorned.

Every American is affected by the presence of illegals in this country and the way our government is handling the situation.
It isn't affecting the wealthy as much since they can send their children to private schools, live in gated communities, pay for their healthcare costs, and they can afford the added taxes.
The rest of us are having our education system destroyed by this. Our children are falling farther and farther behind the rest of the world. They may be learning to pass the tests, but in many instances, they are learning little else.
Our healthcare costs are skyrocketing. When the illegals use our healthcare system and do not pay, the hospitals and doctors just up their prices to the rest of us. IN turn, those who are fortunate enough to have healthcare insurance, then must pay higher premiums.
We are at the mercy of the illegals who drive drunk, who are gang members, sell drugs, and just in general disregard the laws of the land.
Our auto insurance is so expensive since illegals do cause wrecks and seldom have insurance.
Then, of course, we all - rich, poor and in between - are loosing our country.
If we need more skilled educated people, why don't we, as a country, invest in Americans and educate them to do these jobs. Instead, the children of illegals are getting a lot of the education monies and our children are being shortchanged.
Yes, I agree our government is to blame - but don't let the illegals off the hook. They know exactly what they are doing and they know they are takiing from our children and they are laughing about it.
I don't think bringing all their families here will cause their income to be spent here. Many of these people are using this money sent home to buy property there and to invest in Mexico. I can't see them suddenly deciding they are going to spend it all here. Why should they when our government will continue to care for them.
We know our government is going to do nothing - worse than nothing.
So what can we do?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

I agree with you on this. The only thing I somewhat disagree with is that if there are jobs where there are not enough skilled people then we should allow some in legally. At least until there are enough Americans to fill those positions. As I have said before, they will pay taxes, buy homes and become Americanized. They will not cost tax payers anything.

If there are jobs for which we do not have enough skilled workers - then bring them in temporarily, while we educate our own - temporarily.
Now the criteria must be that there are no workers to fill the jobs. It should not be that there are no workers willing to work for the wages offered - which is the case sometimes.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

We already have huge numbers of trained, technically minded Amercan citizens whose jobs have been eliminated because of offshore outsourcing and H1-B temporary foreign visas being given to foreigners who then take these jobs from American citizens who already have them and in some cases are forced to train their foreign replacements before being fired from their jobs.
Please do your homework.

We need to be fair to Americans but we also need jobs filled in many cases where there are not enough trained Americans. In those cases people should be allowed to imigrate here to fill those positions under the condition no American looses their job to them. The people should be allowed to stay here and once a certain job has no shortages then no immigrants with those skills should be allowed to come here.
If it weren't for massive recruitment in Canada, there would be a huge shortage of both doctors and registered nurses. There is a registered nursing shortage already as many people aren't interested in that career due to the fact that with a 4 year university degree, you can make more money in other careers where you have better hours and holidays off. The same goes for teachers. In South Florida a shortage of certified teachers is becoming a problem due to low pay. If there is not enough of them, then why not hire certified teachers from countries such as Britian, Canada or Australia for example as they speak English.
What we don't need is uneducated laborers.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Subject: "the rest of the story" on H-1B teachers in Las Vegas
To: H-1B/L-1/offshoring e-newsletter
Some of you are aware of the recent commotion in Las Vegas regarding the hiring of H-1B teachers. Joe Guzzardi, a teacher and writer in Lodi
(Sacramento area), wrote an excellent column on this recently (enclosed
below; more to come, he tells me). Rob Sanchez has also commented in
his e-newsletter.
One of the points made is that there is a sizable pool of laid-off
techies who could be great science and math teachers, and that efforts
should be focused on developing that resource rather than using H-1Bs as
a first resort. And a sharply-worded editorial ran in the local Las
Vegas press (enclosed below), expressing outrage that the district is
hiring H-1B teachers even though it rejected an award-winning teacher on
a technicality.
In September 2001, Cleveland hired 50 math and special education
teachers from India. This year 500 pink slips are being sent out in what
the Cleveland Plain-Dealer describes as "The first wave in what will be
deep staff cuts in the school district."
In his warm and fuzzy story titled "Teachers Arrive From Philippines,"
Antonio Planas reported that 51 Filipino teachers recruited in February
to work for the Clark County School District have completed their
7,000-mile journey. They are headed directly to the classroom.
Another teacher, Elmer Potes, admitted that he speaks broken English
with a heavy accent. Will his high-school math students, already
sufficiently challenged, be able to understand him?
Ken Record, a longtime Clark County resident who follows education
issues, said "The way math is taught today, verbal skills are very
important."
The Filipino teachers are legally in the U.S. on non-immigrant H-1B
visas. And that fact begs a bigger question: Did Clark County exhaust
every opportunity to hire an American before traveling to the other side
of the globe?
Rob Sanchez, who tracks non-immigrant visa issues and is the Webmaster
for the invaluable http://www.zazona.com, says school districts fail to
look at unemployed local professionals. Many laid off software
engineers, for example, have gone back to school to get education
degrees.

I don't believe in laying off Americans so someone else gets the job because that is just plain wrong. It is only when absolutely necessary.
