GreenEyes148,
Well here in Philly I grew up in a mostly Spanish neighborhood. so I identify with Latinas a bit. Yes New York does have a huge Latin boroughs but what city doesn't these days. Look at California.. the state used to be owned by Mexico. that's why your cities and suburbs have like a Latin sound to it.....think about it San Francisco Los Angeles San Jose San Diego Sacramento Viejo Santa Ana Santa Barbara Many More! .....get it! |

First all hats go to you and our troops, like I always say while we on the toilets playing candy crush you guys getting rockets , grenades, fire power being shot at you guys thanks for protecting our freedoms. Secondly, as much I anti Trump but in a case like this he couldn't cause this disaster but he did say some awful things about my fellow Boricua Puerto Ricans which even I took offense as a German/ |

Since it was not REPEATED and doubled down on, its clearly safe to assume he misspoke instead of saying 47, as would have been intended when listening to the full quote. He went to all corners of the US save one, AND Hawaii, and Alaska, leaving 47.

Ii have them here in my town to. A bunch work in the " authentic" Italian restaurant close to me... they are the cooks. You see, if you can make a mean veal cutlet parmesan dinner we all tend to look the other way. am I wrong? |

GreenEyes148, well you not really wrong but can we at least pay them higher wages. I mean the Mexicans oops Chicanos Americans work the sweat off there backs. Do the hard labor jobs us don't want to do, come on give them the 13hr pay raise. Yeah, lets pay them more.. what the hell, lets pay everyone more But ya see, and long term price rise in material, product or labor is passed on to the consumer. Has been since day one of business. So it is easy to say.. pay them more until that Whopper cost you $12 bucks. Then you think twice. Big business may shoulder some of the increase, but not all of it and small business will either pass the entire cost on to their customers.. then guess what.. the customers stop coming... out of business. So, yes.. give em all a nice big pay raise and watch it come out of your pocket. Americans want things cheaper.. not more expensive. That is why we have Wal Marts, Dollar tore and all the rest. |

GreenEyes148,
Yes I live on the east coast Philadelphia the city. The Mexicans we have here are very lo-key but there community is rising. You right , most of them do work as dishwashers in restaurants, some work out in the fields in middle PA picking fruit & vegetation. Unlike Los Angeles where they sale fruit off the freeway, that stereo type, but here we have expressways and it won't be safe for them to do that here, the cars are too relentless. Although there here in Philadelphia, they do stay in nice apartments here. |

GreenEyes148,
I'm glad you mentioned Dollar Stores, yes we have them here and we have the 5 below stores too. Here's the kicker, we buy the items cheap but for those who manufacture the items get paid even less...ask Kathy Lee or Martha Stuart...lol. |
