The reason I use the terms depise and hatred is because that many of us do not realize that Speaking English was never before a condition required to immigrate- it was, and still is; just advantageous to do so.

Your last two points can be answered in one paragraph: When you speak of reward for doing something illegal, do we not include major corporations and companies here in America who are hiring illegal immigrants?

when stock prices increase on such a company. Now, as far as shipping jobs off to Mexico; who makes and endorses such decisions in say, the last company you can name that did so? Why was this decision made? Who has the power to regulate such decisions?
