Good luck, Nana, be sure to give us a report!
I just read that the youngest son of former border agent Ramos has meningitis and is very ill. The real hit is that the hospital at first refused to admit him because he didn’t have insurance! Monica was fierce and asked “How do you admit the illegals?” She stood her ground and agreed to admit him, but they wanted a $1000 deposit.
Here’s some sign material for you.

A study done last year by the University of North Carolina found that the use of illegal aliens in the construction industry cut labor costs by a billion dollars in 2004. And wages in the hospitality industry have been similarly flat during the last five years.
It’s very simple. A large labor pool, available labor pool is what keeps wages down. And it is worth remembering in this debate on immigration reform, what is of the keenest interest to corporate lobbyist is not your paycheck, but getting legislation that expands that available pool of labor
If I had off today (meaning I had gotten enough sleep), I would seriously consider just hopping in the car and going down. I could be in Nashville by morning.

TSR,
