No I disagree its just becuase of our crappy president. He doesnt know how to run the economy or military or just the whole damn country. Why do you say white trash its cocasion or White how would you like if I said trashy canadians you wouldnt like it so dont say that its rude to certain coccasions in america, maybe not to you but to some people it is.

People are always whaling on the Mexicans. And I have a friend in Mexico. Besides, most of the welfare is being used by people who were born in the States.

Hmmm, Even our currency is gaining ground against the USD.
If I Remember correctly, Last year's exchange rate was around:
$1.00 = PHP 57 (something)
And the current exchange rate is around:
$1.00 = PHP 45.87 (still unstable tho)
And thats a Big leap for me and my country because its been ages since we reached the 45 PHP mark against the US Currency and that also helps the goverment pay for the money they borrowed from other countries because we are getting less interest rates and we also gain the ability to save more money for the goverment to use for Nationwide projects.
NOTE: PHP stands for Philippine Peso.

Thinker, "White Trash" refers to the scum of "white people" and while there is also Black Trash, Mexican Trash, and Asian Trash, they have other names. He was not referring to caucasians as a whole being trash.
Anyway, Allstarz, different debts in mind there, so yeah.
Anyway, you, Allstarz, have no idea what illegal immigration is doing economically. You say it's the "white trash" spreading rumors but do you honestly think I am a trashy person? Because in all honesty, I'm out a job right now. I could be workin' for this small business across the street but the employer, well, she's decided to hire (and don't take this the wrong way) a staff of illegal Mexicans working for like 4$ an hour. If they quit, I'd be in a job for at least minimum wage, probably more. But I shouldn't have to conform and take a 4$ an hour job just to get a damned job. Thus, illegals have foiled my ability to get a job, as that was the only place recently hiring around me. So hell. And this doesn't just happen with teenagers like myself.

That's capitalism buddy.
You want that job now as a teenager, but what about later on? You can go on to become a doctor, lawyer, etc. Simply because you were born here, you have a lot more opportunity to make more money and to generally live a life of less toil.
As for those fellows, they have no hope of promotion. They cannot really aspire to anything higher than that job due to the nature of their presence in your country. But they need that job a lot more than you do. To them, this is their bread and butter. To you, its a summer or part-time job. If you need that job to help pay the grocery bills or for your own education I feel sorry for you, but these guys want and need this more than you if they're willing to get $4 an hour with no benefits at all.
My family is hardly rich, but I can ask my parents to get in one minute the equivalent of what they spend like what? 5 hours working for.

Min wage in Canada could be raised to $10.
Perhaps. As long as your not living off it. I Can't see people living off 7-9 CDN an hour
