I agree with you Karwest, they should all at the same time go home and then when you have no vegetables, no clean hotel rooms to go into or anyone to clean a table at thenext restaurant you go to, they should be able to demand to the farm owners, the hotel owners that before we pick anything else for those citizens, they get legal residential paperwork. Either they work for legallity or the citizens of this country that can do nothing else but complain about the menial jobs there are and they don't want to do them but all they can do is complain about the people who do accomplish them. Like I said they should all at the same time go home, but think the next time you walk into Dennys and there are tables to be cleaned, don't complain about someone not doing it, stand up for yourself as a citizen and get to cleaning it yourself.
