I grew up in the Mississippi river delta just outside of Memphis. We used 100% hispanic labor at our cotton gin for that reason. They were here legally on work visas, and they were here to work. We never had to go wake them up in the morning like the "native" workers in the past. (by natives, I in no way mean Native Americans, rather good old lazy citizens) They never left our houses torn up like the afore mentioned "natives". We had the same people year after year, and they were truely a pleasure to work with.

Regarding the illegal aliens, I feel very strongly in principle that they should do things the legal way. However, I find it hard, morally speaking, to fault a person for doing whatever it takes to better themselves and to take care of their families. I think that is what we all as humans do just by our very nature, no?
