Re: Share your experiences with illegal immigrants
When I went to Miami, the lady behind the Gas Station counter couldn't tell me where the Dr. Pepper was, because she couldn't understand me.

Re: Share your experiences with illegal immigrants
I've lived in Los Angeles for over 15 years. I can't think of a day where I did NOT have an interaction with an illegal immigrant. 2+2 doesn't have the server space to fully reply to your post.
Generally speaking: I think they work about as hard as any other group of people. I see very hard workers, and I see very lazy loafers. I personally have nothing against them, and I would have made the trek here illegally myself if I were one of them. I can't see the rationale for punishing them directly for the poor policy we set up that allowed them to get here. However, I do think we need to change our policy radically, and we need to do it as soon as possible. -ptmusic

Hit and Run Auto Accident by a Bunch of Drunk Mexicans.
They got caught. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Several border hospitals closed because of illegals getting medical care and not paying. So they go to the county hospitals for free care. They still don't pay. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Share your experiences with illegal immigrants
My stepfather was a legal immigrant (from South America) and when I spent time with him in the summers I spent a lot of time around illegals as well. In high school I worked various crops and worked with a lot of migrant workers there. Generally speaking, they work very hard but I still think we need some serious fixes to our immigration policy.

Our largest client is the city hospital. We are located in West Virginia. I can't remember the last time I saw an illegal immigrant.
