I should point out that your assumption that most imigrants have no education is somewhat biased. There are many immigrants who come to foreign countries like the US and Canada and who have more education that you do. The issue is that their training is often not regocnize, and there for not utilized, so you end up with doctors and other Phds driving taxi cabs because they have no alternatives.

While this is the case, this is certainly the exception.



Ivan: Santa Ana huh?  Maybe I need to meet some immigrants down there!  lol

I guess word has gotten around to the banks in my area... they are starting to ask for two forms of ID when cashing checks or making a transaction. Why? Because most illegal immigrants only have one form of ID - their fake social security card.

As long as banks do it for everyone, and are fair to every person that walks in the door, I have no problem with their policy.

License, SS card, state ID card, probably a credit card or debit card with your name on it, university ID, etc...

What I hate most is those wussies who bitch about "They're taking our jobs...etc" it's not like they can jump you in the parking lot and take it from you.

I just bought his book, too.

Maddox does bring up some interesting points in his satire, I love it.

I bought two of his T-shirts. I wear them frequently, I really got a kick out of the one about civil disobedience, as I had the sense to wait to wear it to school until Martin Luther King jr.'s Birthday. Her reaction was fucking priceless. lol

You'll also find that my avatar is from his site.
