I understand he was trying to pump up the Mexicans and give them warm fuzzies...but you don't do that by putting another race down. Shame on him!! :yh_shame

First the Idiots guide to border jumping.. now this.. gotta tell ya the man's brain is turning to mush.

But IMHO .. he did have it half right.. alot of jobs filled by Mexican immigrants both legal and illegal are minimum wage jobs that most applicants turn their nose up at...

and like Jesse and Al are super credible.. plueeeze.. can't those two just go away...

Lehrer on George Murphy, Senator of Massachusetts:

Should Americans pick crops? George says "No,

'Cause no one but a Mexican would stoop so low."

And after all, even in Egypt, the pharaohs

Had to import

Hebrew braceros.Fox praised the dedication of Mexicans working in the United States, saying they're willing to take jobs that "even blacks'' won't do.Would it have been acceptable if he'd said that Mexicans working in the United States are willing to take jobs traditionally associated with black laborers which nowadays nobody but an immigrant will do? I think that expands his phrase so that it makes sense and carries accuracy, but I can't tell whether it would still be as offensive.

(In England, we still use the phrase "black economy" to refer to undeclared cash payments, but that's not the meaning in what el Presidente said. It's also probably non-PC in the USA).

Mmmm......there appears to be a VERY fine line between `giving a genuinely held opinion or belief and / or answering a question to the best of one`s ability` AND ` saying what you like regardless of any offence it may cause other people".....................
