In MI, the minimum wage was just raised, effective in October.

Although I was born into this country, I think of my great grandparents who went through the system to become citizens. <BR/>Can you imagine if we moved to Mexico illegally, flew the US flag on our cars, demanded that the Mexican teachers speak & teach our children in English, take advantage of their welfare system, etc. I doubt that the Mexican police would have any trouble kicking our butts to the curbs! <BR/>I guess - Only in America!<BR/>Disclaimer-I'm not against new immigrants, just the illegal ones. :)pamela shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177361447075930141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146441.post-1144844487137190622006-04-12T08:21:00.000-04:002006-04-12T08:21:00.000-04:00shy-i feel your pain - i have always done it legal...shy-<BR/>i feel your pain - i have always done it legally and spent hours of time and money - i think she should have loaded them all up at the riots and sent them home - i was sad to see the blatant expression of criminal acts.<BR/>hang in there during your "range" love ya -Troy & Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681299287643812451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146441.post-1144805335419347902006-04-11T21:28:00.000-04:002006-04-11T21:28:00.000-04:00shyla, you little immigrant! i love it when you ge...shyla, you little immigrant! i love it when you get on your soap box!! i can just hear you getting all worked up....hormones and all. :-) <BR/>at least you're leagal now so they can't deport you :-)christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834065153205020861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146441.post-1144776315031968152006-04-11T13:25:00.000-04:002006-04-11T13:25:00.000-04:00Couldn't have said it better myself, Shy!

Have the brainless picketers thought that maybe the process is difficult and expensive because of all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS???Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150226972519438479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12146441.post-1144774545761555462006-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:002006-04-11T12:55:00.000-04:00Shyla,what has made me laugh/throw up about this w...Shyla,<BR/>what has made me laugh/throw up about this whole debate is that demcrats are so narrow-minded that they cannot see past their hate of Bush to realize that promoting such illegal actions is absurd. I watched a few debate on Fox yesterday, and when asked why they would even argue in support of criminal activity, the response was "I guess we are all criminals then because I have gotten a speeding ticket; haven't you? Just give the immigrants a fine and be done with it"<BR/>Be done with it? This is a topic I am highly opinionated about because Colorado has soooo many illegal Mexicans in our state, that it was actually a vote several years ago {on the STATE, not local ballot) if Spanish should be the official language of Colorado. GIVE ME A BREAK <BR/>The day there is an official language besides English in any United State----well it will be a sad one to explain to our children. <BR/>I am all for supporting those who want to be here legally. But wouldn't it put off an alarm in your head that if someone feels they need to enter the US ilegally then they might have something to hide???<BR/>SHEESH.Courtney Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07587615616582250971noreply@blogger.com
