Oh great.  First, the wetbacks invade our country.  Now, we're supposed to
work cheaper than they do?  God bless the free enterprise system, where
everybody enjoys really low prices because the workers get paid five bucks
an hour.  Hell, that doesn't even pay for English lessons.

Oh, man, are you asking to get nailed to the cross.  You don't have the
right to pay installers a salary.  Federal and state law says that type of
employee is entitled to overtime pay.  Many big companies have been caught
recently trying to claim their manual laborers are actually managers, and
therefore exempt from overtime.  The penalties include back pay for all the
hours you didn't pay them for, plus the back payroll taxes you didn't pay
on those wages.  Plus penalties and interest, of course.

I don't blame the wetbacks for coming here.  If I were a Mexican, I'd be a
wetback, too.  I blame us for letting them in.

The real problem is greedy bastards who are willing to hire the cheapest
non-speaking aliens they can find, at the lowest wages they can pay, all to
put a few extra dollars in their own pockets.  Take care of the Americans
first!  Then, and only then, do you start importing wetbacks.

Look at the long-term consequences of illegal immigration from Mexico.  We
get cheap labor now, and fruit prices remain low.  But in the long run, we
are importing a bunch of poor, unskilled people, who breed like rabbits.
We will eventually become a third world country.  This is not about
accepting a relatively small number of skilled immigrants who want to
assimilate into our society.  This is about being invaded by an army of the
poor, whose children automatically become citizens.  America is changing,
folks, and it won't be for the better.
