Legal workers have legal rights.
On one hand you guys want to bitch that there are over 12 million illegals in this country taking your jobs, and on the other hand you guys want to pretend they do not work here.
None of you will pick fucking fruits and vegetables for minimum wage, let alone BELOW minimum wage, so don't even pretend you would.
After decades of this debate you are now going to blame Obama?! FUCK YOU!
Bush let in over 5 million illegals, just while he was governor of fucking TEXAS douche bags!
This debate is ridiculous. Even fucking McCain agreed to a reasonable path to citizenship (which is probably the best plan), until the righties went further right.
Now he denies it, and denies being a "maverick" as well.
Fuck off!

It's not just fruit pickers man. In FL for example the illegals have taken over most construction jobs. There are plenty of Americans that are willing to do that job.
I agree on the fruit picking thing as no one wants to do that, but it's not the only jobs they take.
I support Obama on most things but IMO he should stay out of this Arizona thing. TBH, it doesn't matter what the Oval office says, the state will find a way to do it one way or another, right or wrong. (Look at Cali and the Pot stuff for example)
I think the law likely violates peoples rights, but that's something the court system should find out, and not something the Fed govt should be getting involved in.
To be fair, the only reason he's getting involved is because Mexico is bitching up a storm about it, so it's causing international issues between our two countries. Not that it matters to me, but really we do need a good working relationship with Mexico or the immigration and drug smuggling will get even worse.
If not for the international issues, I don't think he would be getting involved in this..
