immigrant workers find few steps up ladder

Sleep is a rare commodity for Juan Cortez. Between nights spent clearing tables at a Manhattan nightclub and days running food to customers in a Bronx restaurant, the 42-year-old Peruvian immigrant worries more about finding time for shuteye than job security.

Let me guess, we're to feel sorry for these illegal immigrants!?!? Why?

[whatever]

Who said they're illegal and who said we're supposed to feel sorry for them. They're doing jobs that no one else will do. Your name says it all.

[Bible believer]

Why does the government allow welfare to American born citizens when there are job opportunities in the restaurants and farm fields being held by illegal immigrants?

Even the bible commands not to feed those who refuse to work.

[Mexican Gang Bangers]

Off topic, YES...They are a disgrace to the Mexican Community. Where are the community leaders who should be trying to encourage a non-gang banger lifestyle. Every known bangers face should be posted so the public knows who they are. Just like a "Sex Offender" every citizen has the right know if they have "a banger family" next door. How would you like to buy a home and find out after you moved in that "a banger family" is your new neighbor????? Homes will be losing value because a banger family lives close. These people make me vomit!!!
