^ you must have a big personal opinion on the topic as well as you live in Phoenix where there is a huge hispanic population.

I lived and worked in Scottsdale/Phoenix about 4 years ago. The Canadian company I worked for at the time owned a construction company down there. I gotta say that almost the only ppl in Scottsdale I ever saw doing manual labor (landscapring etc) were Mexican. Every morning on the 101 loop, I saw truckloads of mexican workers in backs of trucks heading off to work.

The Mexicans I got to meet and work with (mostly at our shop) were all hardworking and honest people. In Canada, the hispanic population is a very small minority but we don't border Mexico either.

Isn't the amount of social security benefits and payroll taxes (unrefunded since tax returns are not filed in a lot of cases) a pretty big number? I heard a stat once re those with fake SSNs.
