You really need to let go of the bigoted position that all mexicans sit 
around eating tacos all day and sleep in the afternoon while wearing big 
hats.  

Typical lefty tactic, find a way to accuse the other person of being 
racist, no matter what contortion needs to be done. It's illegals that 
work for signficantly less. Not legal mexican immigrants.

You make a post that clearly supports hiring of workers for below the 
prevailing wage. One that argues that displacing people from their jobs 
with a cheaper alternative is a good thing for the nation. But you are 
against the methods that allow for that. (illegal immigration and a 
labor supply that is greater than demand)

So you want to reduce the prevailing wages to compete with outsourcing by 
bringing in cheap labor (which are people whom because of their status 
cannot demand the wages of US citizens) or by cheapening labor by increasing 
the supply. This is the implication of your post when you make a 
comparision to people who have lost their job to automation.

Not clear at all. You state you are for something, but not the 
implications of it.
