Does this actually bother you?

Why are Americans too proud to do these jobs?

I feel sorry for the Mexicans. Mexico is not a place I'd like to live for more than a few months. But I'm also not a fan of crime. And illegally sneaking into the US and illegally holding a job is a crime. America can't fix every country's problems. Mexico needs to do something about it.
 
I actually did download that on iTunes after you recommended it. It was a good show. Shows some perspective on the whole situation.

However, that family certainly wasn't a representative sample of illegals in this country- College bound kids who speak english and want to be american certainly aren't the norm. They didn't show the hundreds of thousands of mexican thugs walking around east LA all tatted up who hate this country and white people in general.
 
The US is consistantly the top 1 or 2 hardest working countries in the world.

The US consistantly has the best secondary education system in the world.

So yes, it's blind chance that he was born in the US. But statistically, it's also true that he's probably better educated and harder working than the average person in other countries.
 
How exactly do you go about measuring how hard a country works? That's a very subjective term to throw around, and your links didn't work so I couldn't see how it worked.

And as for ATLANTASKI's comment, give him a break. He's from the south.
