you think that's bad. you should see how NAFTA devastated mexican farmers who can't compete with our highly-subsidized farmers.

yeah well you aren't an executive for Tyson either. they bus 'em up straight from mexico across the border and into the food processing plants where they work in horrible conditions and are allowed to live in trailer parks and every week or so they will pick a couple out of the heard and have them deported so that they look like they are trying to combat the situation. we are exploiting them, they are not exploiting us.

Other than el salvador i served in the us military with at least one native person from every country listed here-- like i said earlier many foreigners have earned more of a right to live here than many native born citizens.

it is not little guy that buses them here it is greedy rich people that dont want to hire us legally
and i never seen them forcing them to get on bus

Looks like a bunch of methed up mexican cartel guys to me. I have known a lot of these dudes, they're no good and once you get to know their style you can pick 'em out easy...and yes 99.99998% chance they're illegal.

they may not be forced but they are lied to, takin advantage of and abused. they come here with nothing, so when they get here and don't like it they can't just be like "i wanna go home" they are pretty much hostages. they can keep there mouth shut and go back in and work like a slave and get a very small wage or they can speak up and be turned over to immigration to be imprisoned. Food Inc. the movie does a cool little section on this in the film, if anyone hasn't seen it i highly highly highly recommend watching it.

Very true same here with all of the guys i worked with.....but at the same time these guys have never even considered staying here in the first place because they do not think it is possible to do legally. why would they want to invest in a home here to retire in just to get caught and deported? and besides mexico is beutiful, i may just retire there myself. my buddies parents just retired at 55 just south of puerto vallarta. they are living like a king and queen off a teacher's retirement and an iron worker's pension.

If you served in the military with them then they weren't illegal.

No they were not illegal. they had working visas to be in our military. some got their citizenship, some didn't.

They do that? Seems like a security issue.
just mexicans?
no other nationalities cross over and grow some pot in the forests?
did you conduct a survey?
those damn Canadians, at it again.
um, they don't have to get on the bus.
they aren't "slaves". they make their own choices.

Yeah and more than you would ever imagine too. just in my shop of about 20 people we had foreign born people from mexico, guetemala, etheopia, japan, south korea, and canada.
I think it would do the country good if more people new this too. i would have never known unless i had seen it for myself. i think if more people were aware of this it might skew their opinions at least slightly about immigration. Know who protects your country? The poor and the foreign ( and a bunch of silver spoon commissioned officers)

Not only did they trash the land and divert water from area's of need for plants and animals
but they layed out poison pellets that killed off deers and bears in the area
and god only knows what other innocent hungry animals perished. I'm telling you
now, these guys and others like them will burn.
