thanks, I can believe that but can also believe it was that high even before the boom....just returned from a two week stay in Las Vegas, found it so depressing what has happened to that city

Just came back from my ninth visit last saturday.
I have NEVER seen it so quiet.

Thanks to Hussein showing up i got to stay an extra day though due to my flight home being canceled.

Not really. When the ball got rolling it was almost all American. As it picked up it drew some from California but mostly from Oklahoma, Florida, Tennesssee, Missouri... Anyone who was worth a damn was a foreman in months and had his own business in a year or two. The goofballs, drunks and druggies bounced from job to job until there was no one left to hire them and then they went home.

As it picked up speed the illegals grew slowly from around 10% to 20 and then 30. From then on it was like a vacuum pulling them in. From 40% to 60 took about a year.
