Immigrants "stealing our jobs" - Page 5

HungLikeJesus · 02-28-2008, 03:19 PM

There is a lawyer in the office next to mine and her practice is mostly devoted to helping immigrants, so immigrants don't just fill jobs - they also create them.

fair enough. I see that as an attorney who created a job for herself simply by recognizing a niche market. she would still be an attorney if the immigrants weren't there. yeah, i know - semantics.

Are none of your clients immigrants of some sort?

I have one WWII warbride.

illegals can't invest. and i don't run into that many legal immigrants in a position where they would need my services.

Only in this instance, hon, and only because I spoke out. we are not US citizens (yet). It is exclusionary (is that a word?). Many situations make that very clear. Like voting and jury duty. here it was just an "lumping all together" type oversight and fortunately those in charge were big enough/responsible enough to realise that. But more often than not it's jobsworths enforcing these rules. I feel black.

the rules: (see #5) http://www.recycleannarbor.org/pdfs/...ry_form_08.pdf

(they are changing the wording in future to omit this rule, as a result of my email)

It does rock.

It's getting to be a bit of a problem to find a house to live in though, so don't come if you aren't cashed up.

I would love to have a go at it. First I have to get rid of these kids.

Reminds me of my white friends from South Africa who tried to get a scholarship for African Americans and were told they were not qualified when no where does it mention black skin.
