70. sure, true..
I agree to an extent on that. But when I was growing up the owners of these businesses just had to pay a living wage to Americans to get them to do part time or temp work (usually 8 an hour or more) and what's wrong with that??? it's just GREED got into the way and they saw they could give 5 bucks an hour with no benefits to a worforce of illegal immigrants.

I hate businesses in general. They rarely think of our country citizens that have gotten them to where they are. Now, those local business don't pay the $8-12 they were giving to people to work those jobs, they get illegals to do it for half the cost.

I have sympathy for those wanting to come to this country, but I also have anger towards business owners wanting to make $200K a year instead of $140K.
