I disagree. I am angry overall because the newcomers exploit and consume our social resources. These rescources and infrastructure did not exsist 150 years ago when my forefathers came to this country. My forefather changed his name and blended into the population by learning the local language and adopting the local culture (but never forgetting his roots)to become...an American. We fought for change and sacrificed much to have the system we enjoy today. These newcomers are following a Latino Underground Railroad System that exploits EVERYONE...Newcomer and Locals. Newcomers are undereducated sheep brainwashed to beleive that this is The Way. They will parasitically comsume all our local resources until we have nothing left, for anyone. And the only persons that will benefit will be the profiteers on both ends of the Railroad; making billions off Latino and Blanco, and degrading a once strong economic country into a second-world crapper similar to the one the newcomers left.

Henry, you're a moron. I wish I had a time machine so that I could deport your ancestors.

Mr J Lopez, It appears you are under the impression that good Americans will not kill or die to defend our nation from invaders like you. You are wrong. I am ready to defend America from you and all the traitors that support you. If you think that the scum politicians in this country are going to go against the will of Americans to give you a free pass into America you are wrong. Any politician that goes against America does so at his own peril. The way I see it you either leave or we will put you out. From what I am hearing from other good Americans all you invaders can either get out or pay the price. It seems to me if you had any real guts you would rise up against the opressors in your country. You are not welcome here!

Yea we are illegal so what...?? We come here illegaly because we dont really have a choice for comming here legally. With the money we could use to get our legal papers and come here legally we can put up a store in our own country then we wont have to come here illegaly. But its not like that. We came here because we were tired of starving and you dont have it as hard living here thinking its YOUR country well do the math it really isnt unless your native americans Calling us wetbacks well if you think about it we only crossed a river and got our feet wets you all ancestors on the other hand crossed the ocean

These people are not immigrants.They are invaders who have broken the law by being here.the ones that provide housing and jobs are scum that deserve to go to jail for their Treason.

OK< so Finnegan wants to give us facts? Where are they? Does he not think the poultry industry and construction explosion of the valley plus his youthful ignorance/back turning are the reason the illegal immigrants come to this area. Plus a huge meth/drug business. Thankfully I'll be graduating and leaving in May so, good luck in your next ten years Finnegan. I hope you enjoy the failings of your valley.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY EMPLOYERS NEED TO BE FINED A LARGE SUM OF MONEY FOR HIRING ILLEGALS. NO ONE WANTS TO DO THESE BECAUSE THE ILLEGALS DRIVE DOWN THE WAGES!
