text: wouldn't there be a better way for illegal immigrants to get their point across? i mean, what better way to refute the stereotype of the obnoxious lazy mexican than to not work or spend money for a day??  surely there is a more intelligent way for them to get their point across.  and as carlos mencia said, if the illegals want to know why people won't take them seriously as an american, it might have something to do with the flag they're holding.  i have yet to hear an intellegent argument in favor of letting people come to this country illegally, but i'm open to hearing one. there could be a better way, but when almost everybody is against you, won't listen to you, calls you names, says your worth sh**, you kind of run out of options. and the not working for a day and not spending money for a day, is not a show of lazyness, what they are trying to show is that due to them is why the stores sell more/ have more customers. they are the biggest group of buyers in america and that's the point that they are trying to show. that in some way they are needed.  simply it's just a way to sweeten things up and for people to see what it is they actually provide for the u.s. and i can't say that coming to the u.s. illegaly is good but i know what they are going through, they can't find jobs, and if you can't find a job and have 3  mouths to feed you kind of want something better for your children. the same thing happens with the dominican republic and puerto rico. the dominican republic will not give visas to the people and they are not allowed to leave, unless they do it illegaly and that is what they are forced to do in a way and in puerto rico they are called names, are treated bad but they just take the jobs that nobody in p.r. will do. same as the mexicans.they just don't have any other choice but to go to the "land of opportunity." they just want an opportunity for themselves and their children.  btw. i love carlos mencia too ;)
