    You know the sad thing is that all we talk about is the poor mexican worker losing there jobs.Well what about all the other men that lost there jobs that was born here in the US. I've been working in Las Vegas for 20 years in construction and find myself out of work I'm a non union project manager now started out working in the field and then in the last 5 years I moved inside to a office and have lost my job.Talk about all of us just not the mexicans
