56. Illegals are willing to live with less because all they care about is a quick buck.
Few of them have brought their wives or kids. They're willing
to live 30-to-a-house, sleeping on the floor, because every dollar
they can send home is worth ten dollars here.

I've heard of buildings in Jersey partitioned into rooms six feet
by eight feet for illegals. We can't live like they can, because
we don't know how to find such a place.

I hung out with a bunch of lowlifers in the Bronx a few years
ago (it's a long story). When they told me they couldn't get
jobs because of the illegals, I thought they were making excuses
for themselves. Then one day I drove past the lumber yard at 6:30
a.m. There must have been 600 men out there!

When I was coming up, we did ditchdigging, mowed lawns, worked at
the car wash, washed dishes, painted fences. There isn't any work
like that for a high school student any more--it's all done by
illegals. I don't know what the kids are going to do!
