Don't claim a damn thing about a person you know NOTHING about. You have no idea how hard I work every day. Is it physical labor? No, but that does NOT change how hard I work.

i dont know what your ancestors did when they got here but i dont think it could have been tougher than picking strawberries in 100 degree heat all day for pennies.



Picking strawberries? In 100 degree heat? Boo f'ing hoo. Try steel mills for the most part. 100+ degree heat INDOORS for next to nothing. Add a nice case of black lung in there on occasion too.

Don't even try to pull the "feel sorry for them" card when you have no comparison. My ancestors (and I'm talking 4 or 5 generations back) never asked for anybody's sympathy. They knew what they were getting thsemselves into.

And I've met my fair share of illegal immigrants. I lived in Somerville, MA, which for decades was the single most densley populated city IN THE WORLD. Full of illegal immigrants. And the VAST majority of the ones I knew would do their damndest to rip people off, blatantly steal from them if they could, and soak as much out of welfare as they could. Sorry, I hold NO sympathy for it.
