Yeah, you know how many illegal immigrants come here to open small businesses.

You might be surprised. Here in Detroit I see more and more business vans - most of them in construction or landscaping related business with Hispanic names. There are a lot of immigrants opening businesses in this area.

Of course, now the black community is starting to raise a fuss, claiming that the "Mexicans are taking all our business" - just like the same complaint against the Chaldeans and the Koreans.

As I tell people all the time, anyone can work hard and open their own business. All it takes is desire and hard work.

So..you think it is right that illegals can come in, violate the law and unfairly compete with US citizens? You realize that is the root of the whole problem- right? Illegals are number one unfair competition in jobs and business competition- and number two in the financial drain they are because not even they can live on the low wages they will take.

We could all be more successful if we chose to ignore laws and had no fear of those laws being enforced. I might just help myself to the money in the bank if I knew the feds and other LE would just ignore it. Would that make it right? Or fair to those who choose to follow the law? If all laws in this country were ignored as much as immigration laws are- this would sure be a great place to live, wouldn't it??
