We should have done this whole financial meltdown thing a long time ago!!!

[nkdlunch]

so now we won't even find cheap good mexican labor anymore? who's gonna mow my lawn? AIG ex-employees?

[hater]

actually illegal immigrants will be the ones better off now than average american. Don't pay taxes and don't have huge mortgage :lol

[Wild Cobra]

I didn't read the story. I have little time right now.

Was that legal immigration slowing down, illegal, or both?

If you want to get rid of illegal immigration, put the dollar in the toilet and flush away.

IF the remittances back to whereever they are from lose their value, so does that happy fun job in the US.

maybe the economy needs to go in the toilet. Too many of us out of a job with no relief in sight. The toilet needs some flushing so we can all start over from scratch.
