I read this, and then i think what is going on? is all the problem because not paying taxes? what about legal people that work under the book? are not they more unfair that can do it the right way and wont? should i blame an illegal people or the employer? <br /><br />This problem goes beyond of paying taxes.<br /><br />thats what i think.Jose Bisonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13086762909076274729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-59822418843426258812010-05-17T13:05:10.609-07:002010-05-17T13:05:10.609-07:00Well then obviously Ms. Onyango is amongst the 0.2...Well then obviously Ms. Onyango is amongst the 0.29% of the estimated 10 million illegals in the U.S. who do so, Les. At least now she's pursuing legal means of staying in this country.

I grew-up in Minnesota and had quite a few kids in ESL that were most definitely born and raised here. They were brought up by parents who chose to only speak their native language in their home, therefore causing their kids additional help in English when they got to school.<br /><br />My point: it isn't a fair assumption that they weren't born here solely based on their need for an ESL class. <br /><br />It is not uncommon for immigrants to choose not to learn/speak English in America. As a country, we have given them so many reasons not to need to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961998557322686806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-10424542908473551372009-10-31T13:05:01.276-07:002009-10-31T13:05:01.276-07:00Glad you dug it, Wendy.

It is not paid by the company. There have been many times I wished it was. It was refreshing to see someone take this on instead of just forwarding it on, in spite of its' tone and lack of sources.

You as well, Chris.<br /><br />I hear you on the empathy tip T101, although I still think that we need vastly better security at our borders and ports. I don't blame illegal immigrants for doing what I would do myself were I in their shoes. Human nature is what it is, no matter how many laws we pass or walls we build.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-28013688460835786302009-08-06T14:00:27.832-07:002009-08-06T14:00:27.832-07:00Very interesting post from both sides.

Not to denigrate what your post said Mr. Crane, but to the best of my knowlege, the "illegals" around here, most of them seem to be roofers, get far less than $15 an hour. 7 to 9 bucks an hour is what I've heard. <br /><br /><br /> I use quotation marks as a sign of at least some solidarity with the undocumented people. My ancestors came here for a better life. How can any of us in good conscience as Americans not at least have empathy for these people.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-90439360118980991612009-08-06T11:58:33.904-07:002009-08-06T11:58:33.904-07:00James

I was beginning to wonder if anyone would ever read it and holler. I also agree that ” <a href="http://newyork.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel09/nyfo080509.htm" rel="nofollow">companies who hire them</a> in order to save money” is a much more valid position. If jobs, freedom, hospital ERs and education for their children weren’t available, even legal immigration wouldn’t flood the country. <br /><br />Your commentary is superb, your delivery awe-inspiring. Thanks for calling it what it is. Look forward to reading you.Denney Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373247143408003226noreply@blogger.com
