Also, they are the ones that are stealing our money (no tax!) and exchange dollars into peso made them rich when they send money to the south of the boarder. So who have a better chance?

There is a lot of discrimination. I wouldn't be suprised if it's easier to stay on SSDI or ssi after so many attempts to get one. You're lucky if you got a job but looking for a job is very hard for a deaf person. As for peddlers, well at least they are "working" in a sense. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522530.post-54654346836375721972007-04-15T00:25:00.000-04:002007-04-15T00:25:00.000-04:00Mexican people are wonderful example!
