Good point though. These people are pointing the finger at the mesicans for sending money over to mesico, while driving japanese cars. Yes, some of the money stays within the US, but its not a US based company.

but they are built here now

and its cool i dont think less of you for not driving a pimpreza

Understandable, but in reality they make much MORE than that. They can make up to $150 a day plus lunch and transportation... Remember, that's cash, tax free.

You're absolutely right. 25 billion is absolutely nothing. The 200 million poor *******s like me paying $25k a year in taxes makes up for it just fine.

Odd that the article is mixing talk about illegal and legal immigrants

I hate to sound like an english professor, but care to cite your sources? I'd love to know what ILLEGALS are making $150 per day. I'll do it for $120/day!!!

15 hours at $10/hour ? It happens. $10/hr was the "normal" rate for the Home Depot parking lot slaves. Might be a little less these days with more competition.

I've been thinking...those guys get $15/hr...I should stand out there and swoop some jobs from them but my dad says i'd get beat like a pinata lol

Edit: as i finally actually read the posts above mine lol...yeah they are pretty much set at $15/hr. My parents bought some a few months ago.
