Yet you seem to defend those who haven't.

I call baloney on that. Latino illegals have stolen many jobs from Americans white and otherwise by working for less. It's not a case of white Americans not willing to do those jobs. Who do you think did them before millions of cheap illegals flooded our border?

Wrong re: Obama. Read the link below. Jeh Johnson admitted that they were cooking the books:

After all this time and people still believe that Obama was the "deporter in chief"

Shrug. For some strange reason you seemed to be lumping them in with those who come here illegally.

You have no idea what you are writing about. Here in Texas, I contract with many

local companies for various jobs, including sewer replacement, roofing, fencing, walkway

replacement, tree planting, or swimming pool remodeling. The contractors that come to my house

is always a white guy. I had to pay high prices of $48K two months ago for the new sewer line, but the labor

force is all Latinos. Texas could not survive without them.

True. My ancestors were not guilty of committing a misdemeanor. They did the required paperwork.

Let's not play down violating our immigration laws by calling it a simple misdemeanor whether it is or not, shall we? I've even seen pro-illegals call it the same thing as speeding. Anything to defend these lawbreakers, right? Many of them have been deported and crossed our border illegally again which is a felony. I don't understand your defense of them considering that you say your ancestors came here legally. It's mind boggling.
