Description:

Hi my name is Jin Mu, I live here in New Yorck City in Manhattan. I met a lady a few days ago, who is working at a restaurant in Chinatown. She is not legally here. Lots of these illegal immigrants work very hard. The lady I mentioned earlier actually works 14 hours a day in a restaurant and she is sharing a very small bedroom in queens with 6 other people. And she is still trying. And these people have contributed to America. I would like to ask the candidate, what would you do?

I get mad at the ones who take advantage of undocumented workers. But to go after those people they might have to arrest someone who pays big buck$ to the government big shots.

Id say why did she go there? Its a common misconception I think that Chinese people are refugees or something that their country isunliveable.Maybe she watched too many movies,maybe she ad a dying relative there? why did she go?

I think before the government give way to the ILLEGAL immigrants, we better make the life easier for the LEGAL non-US residents with a lot more contribution to the US than serving at restaurants! Sorry about my harsh words. No offend. Just always mad to hear the ILLEGAL ppl fighting for the right and freedom while the LEGAL ones don't even have them.

wait a second here... What about those non-US residents who have been living in the states for years and are in the top percentile in terms of education, career, and talent??? Some of those ppl are literally without freedom as well while waiting for that damned green card for years and years??????

Good question. There is more to immigration than hating Mexicans.

O yeah? Most people don't get to hear about the "human side of the stories of "legal immigrants" too! I'm a Naturalize citizen in the US and when we came here my Mother used to work in a Chinese restaurnt, sewing factory, babysitter. She have to compete with the illegal immigrants and struggle to take care of my family. We welcome immigrants to the United State but we can't award people who cut in line.
