Bandit, I want you to know that I’m not directing my ire at you. You’re not the enemy. I know you’re only trying to calmly discuss the finer points of this thing, but dammit, I am sick and #!@$@#%@$% tired of my nation being run over by the Mack truck of political correctness and liberal insanity.
I’m about ready to freaking pop over this stuff.
Let me tell you something. I’ve lost nearly everything I owned over the last five years due to illegal labor driving down the cost of professional services in the construction trades. I’ve spent my entire career honing my skills in this business. I’ve become an expert in what I do, but today, I can barely make enough to keep my family off of welfare.
My business (what a laugh) is nearly non-existent today. Five years ago, my family was living an above average middle class lifestyle. I employed highly skilled workers to work for me. I created JOBS, and I earned a good living. I worked my hiney off to achieve all that, and it all crumbled because ILLEGALS destroyed it.
This isn’t some abstract political discussion for me. My family is literally in POVERTY because of this situation, and I am LIVID about it!
Sorry, but I’m steamed.
Very sorry to hear of your plight.
People like you remind me why we must fight for enforcement of existing immigration law and make new ones which greatly increase the penalties for hiring illegal aliens. A few employers (restaurant owners, lawn care company owners, construction contractors) need to go to jail to send a message that it is not OK to hire illegal aliens.
