Regarding the Mexican President's unwise, and very un-P.C. comment that his people illegally immigrate to the US to do jobs that "not even blacks want to do" is both true and untrue. Yes, as things are now I have no desire to be a ditch digger, or migrant worker or whatever jobs he was referring to. On the other hand, it's not the job itself that repulses me, it's the pay. If someone was willing to pay me $100k/year to clean septic tanks, I'm there. Ok, maybe not septic tanks because of the stench that would become a part of me, but just about any other job. I'd pick cotton for 100k, I'd do laundry, clean floors, whatever, and as soon as people start getting paid that sort of money, those jobs become respectable. Next thing you know everyone wants to grow up to clean laundry, and only losers or illegal immigrants become doctors or lawyers.

That last part is hyperbole for those of you who like to take things out of context and twist my words for rebuttals instead of actually having to use logic.
