more on the human deluge aka the surge

The LA Times had a story yesterday about how the number of Mexican immigrants increased almost 50% last year http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/front/la-me-citizen11-2008jul11,0,3644894.story . No shit. Read the article and find out how many times it says "legal immigrants".
If the US has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs in the last year, and so many illegal immigrants do some sort of work for pay, how can Americans born and raised here seriously expect to recover if they are out of non white collar work? Each job the illegal immigrants have in the USA , no matter how shitty, is one that an American doesn't have. I don't care how much you tell that "Americans wouldn't do that kind of work for that kind of money" bullshit, fucking lie, there is an American somewhere picking up cans and bottles that would indeed do that work. The illegals even have the shopping cart scrappers that recycle cans and bottles on alert: here in San Francisco they have organised crews that go out with bags and walk up and down blocks on garbage night getting the cans and bottle that the homegrown homeless rely on to survive. Just a matter of time before we have a homicide or two over aluminum cans.
And as things continue to deteriorate, and food especially skyrockets in price-people (Americans) aren't going to be so picky about what kind of job they have that puts food on the table.
What the hell would Mexico do if within a matter of week 5 million Americans crossed into Mexico illegally, without record of health status or criminal activity,with huge amounts of just about every illegal drug imaginable, decided they where entitled to the country, for whatever crazy ass reason, and refused to leave, or at least try and learn speak Espanol? The answer is, they'd do what an American does after eating a greasy burrito during stomach flue season-shit themselves.
What makes me more livid than the entitlement thing is the I hate America and my country (fill in the blank, it shouldn't be hard) is so much better than America shit. When you can say you either didn't have shoes before you came here, or you only had one shoe and it was a cowboy boot, and stuff like you've never been with a woman but you've ate a lot of pussy, fuck you. You know damn, good, and well your country of origin is not better than the USA. And for you fuckers whose country happens to be the subject of the big money geography question on Jeopardy, don't say a fucking thing about comparisons of here to over there.
