re: I can live with that assessment

Marsby — 9/15/2008 12:57:19 AM (archived)

I was tempted by ST's ramble about disrespect for our laws until I thought that their motivation is not a disrespect for law but concern for their families. Most
Americans can relate to you've got to do what you can to support your family. I'm more concerned about terrorists than illegals stealing American jobs. I see them mostly working at hard jobs Americans don't want. I've seen Mexican immigrants work far harder than I've ever seen American chemical operators work doing a job they probably would have avoided if they could. I think McCain gets this and that Americans are concerned about lack of security at our borders.

I am bothered however to learn it's getting hard to get by in Miami without knowing Spanish.

Regards,
Mark
