So-called Illegals

Speaking of illegal immigrants, I have a hard time understanding the uproar over illegal immigration. You know what I call anyone who could dare to leave their dirt-poor families behind; travel hundreds of miles away; hurdle barbed-wire fences; wade across raging, shit-filled rivers; pay off any number of shady smugglers; and cross unforgiving deserts while dodging capture and deportation? I call them supremely motivated. Insanely motivated, even.

I can see why so many companies and individuals want to hire these people because they make such damn good workers. These are some tough, motivated hombres. Few native-born Americans are that willing to better themselves.

On the other hand, you’ve got a large majority of native-born citizens who are so lazy they can’t even be bothered to vote. Which ones are the lazy ones again?
