"Iraq" - right here on your southern border

[NineseveN]

I dont know many illegal aliens that work in Dry-cleaning shops. I managed one for about 2 years, 107 degrees is a joke compared to that heat AND humidity from the boilers and the steam presses, not to mention the 'perc' fumes and other cleaning agents, I can't imagine a service industry with a more hazardous and unfriendly work environment...and the pressers and taggers don't make much more than about $6.50 an hour (9.50 for a really experienced worker or in a high-profile shop), BEFORE taxes.

When you load, unload and press about 5000 pounds of clothing a day in that environment, well, cry me a river about hammering some nails and drywalling (neither of which is particularly easy, but not much more labor intensive than the drycleaning and laundering tasks).

That makes it sound like Mexican law enforcment is corrupt...

Cough.

The mexican mob regularly tortures and kills people in my county, they leave the bodies in areas where they know local "immigrants" will see everything. Hangings, evisceration, and GSW's are typical. Sometimes they use barbed wire. Next morning I get to pick em up or hand em off to the coroner.
Thing is I dont know how this is possible because they are just here to work hard at the jobs Americans wont do, really they are doing us a favor.
