People don’t give them enough credit for that shit!</blockquote> Totally! Reminds me of DK on Kid Nation, who's my new favorite kid on the show. He's amazing. And he just won the $20,000 gold star and it's all going to his family. Hey, you know who are huge champions of Hispanic (and Iraqi) immigrants' rights? Catholics. But you don't hear about that unless you pay attention to that shit, which I do now because it's my job. I think my perspective on them becomes less skewed by the day.

That squeezes out people looking for entry level factory jobs, people like the recently released prisoners I work with. When I've asked them if they would leave America to work at a brutal job for two years, even ending up with permanent injuries but, that would mean they could build a house for their family, they always say they would do it. I don't think I've ever met a middle class person who would answer the question that way. A lot of employers like immigrant workers because they can be exploited.
