I agree MIT (And that's the LAST time this month! I have overstepped my agree with MIT USA quota). Up front it may be cheap labor but in the long run it's very expensive labor and we (taxpaying, lawabiding (for the most part), did I say taxpaying) citizens are the one's that pay for it. Sure maybe our meat is a little cheaper but I think that gets stuck to people ten fold in property taxes, the cost of crime, the education system being raped, social services, courts, etc all being backed up handling people that just aren't supposed to be here....really it's not cheap labor. Oh and I left out the poison water (what there is left of it)....
