What do illegals have anything to do w/ the big corporation with mega-profit laying you off? If the State is pushing you to take a job with a paycut, what do you think they're doing to most others on social assistance (assuming their capable)? Also, why won't you take that job... I mean, it's work right? It may be a paycut but it's better than being on state assistance right? Or would you prefer to just sit and collect a check for nothing like the illegals that are being bashed in this thread... Yea, I know you're venting, but in the grand scheme, 'illegals' aren't breaking the bank like the wars in the Middle East and tax cuts for the "job creators" (we're not allowed to call them 'rich' or 'wealthy' anymore dontchaknow). So, take solace in the fact that the CEO where you used to work got to keep your and your coworkers salaries as a tax cut for creating those jobs, even if you don't have them anymore.
