Mexican immigrants to the U.S., legal or illegal, work their asses off

this pisses me off...
On the March 27 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh stated that Mexican immigrants who illegally enter the United States are "a renegade, potential[ly] criminal element" that is "unwilling to work."

the man is a moron...

i have had the pleasure of knowing a number of mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal, and i can tell you, the reason they COME to the u.s. is TO WORK... they simply want to earn the kind of money it would be impossible for them to earn in mexico and, typically, the first thing they do when they get here is get a job... and work they do, hard, nasty, often demeaning and dangerous work for which they get paid considerably less than their anglo counterparts... but, even then, it is so much more money than they have ever earned before that they're not only grateful, they save in order to be able to send some to the folks back home...

what with the cigars, the alcohol, and the drugs, i think rush's brain may just be on a permanent vacation...
