This is a good topic. I used to be a supervisor at a plant that was i would say about 75 to 80 percent hispanic. Some were legal and others were illegal. But would work there asses off for me. They tried to teach me spanish but all i ever picked up was the dirty words. But most of them spoke english or learned english in my over eight years working with them. I made alot of friends with them and they still come see me at my current job, sometimes just for advice. If our country was smart they make the illegals legal and get them the proper papers so we could start collecting taxes from them. Its not there fault they are able to take advantage of our flawed system. And for jobs most of them were doing jobs that americans would not do. Americans have become very lazy and want high paying jobs to do nothing. Sad things I have seen is kids being made to work by there parents.. I'm talking about 12yr olds and 14yr olds in a plant working when they sould be at school enjoying being a child. They came in with papers saying they were 18 yrs no one checks and puts them to work. They would tell me there real age because they trusted me. Some i talked out of being there but others stayed. Very sad. Mexicans get blamed for this but its our systems loop holes that allows this to happen. But I do think that if you come to this country you should learn english as I would tell my employees that if I went to Mexico I would learn spanish. But I dont blame anyone for trying to make a better life for them and there families. Some came from towns that only had one phone in the whole town very poor conditions. I am white and have much respect for all races and I love to learn from all cultures. Its our goverment that loves to put this out there just for voting power, if they would get off there fat asses and change some things in the laws and get all illegals to get proper paper work and start holding bunisses accountable for not checking properly you would see alot of things change. But hell if I could get away with it I would too. They just take advantage of our stupid system.
