News flash, the illegals in Texas build almost 90 percent of homes,
roofs, pools, roads, fences, masonry, iron work, plasterers, painters,
window installation, warranty work, delivery, pick-up, and just about
any job involving a wood frame including the frame is done by illegal
and legal immigrants. *And they do it for slave wages in the heat, day
after day and never complain. *NEVER complain. *

...

I will search for the statistics, but I remember reading that the
number of illegal workers in the state of Texas far outnumbers the
number of unemployed legal workers. Many of those legal workers are
likely resistant to the idea of working their asses off for minimum
wage. Get rid of all the illegals and the veggies will not be picked,
the local economy will collapse.

Sauce is ready. A bit runny, but it will do.

Employment statistics - http://www.twc.state.tx.us/news/pres...1709epress.pdf
~790,000 unemployed in Tx.

Immigration statistics - http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/s...cs/illegal.pdf
This one says ~2 million immigrants in Tx in 1996 and growing fast.
Don't have time to find today's numbers, but they are higher.

I was over-the-top with my statement about the local economy
collapsing. So long as people are working we should be mostly ok.
However, the idea that we are going to deport millions of people is
simply ludicrous.
