Contrary to some person's perception, I don't live close enough to the border, here in Phoenix Arizona and you see, we don't seem to have the problem that they seem to in Texas. Funny thing is, last time I read up on the matter, Arizona ranked #1 in illegals crossing the border. Also my line of work doesn't seem to be close enough to the matter for some. You see, I work in home/construction buisness. I am a small company and I have to compete with larger companies who hire cheap labor, very many illegal.. I do believe that we (home improvement/construction) are only second to the hospitality trades in hiring illegals. But I guess we don't have the same problem that they do in Texas. Even though we are second to Nevada in new home building. I guess Arizona, Nevada and California for that matter, doesn't have the same problem they all have in Texas?

Ignorance seems to be a big problem in Texas.

And if you folk up in the Northeast, Northwest, Midwest, South and Sotheast think you don't have a Central American and Mexican illegal problem, it's just around the corner. Just don't forget to call them a "wetback" so they'll feel right at home.
