Does anyone think it's weird I date an illegal immigrant from Guatemala?

Asked by qualitycontrol (2573points) September 9th, 2008

I’m American and at my job 90% of the production workers are illegal aliens (I work in the QC department). Since I spend most of my life at work I wasn’t really meeting any girls anywhere else. Since I started working there 10 months ago I’ve picked up Spanish and I am now almost fluent because it’s necessary to know Spanish on the job or I won’t be able to communicate. Anyway girls from Guatemala are, contrary to what most people think, gorgeous and very sweet. I get made fun of a lot from my American friends who think Guatemalans are less than people. I mean it’s not like their racist but they talk about them like they’re not actual people. It isn’t their fault they come from a poor country and have a different culture. I also have to hear about it from people who are anti – immigrant and say that they are “ruining” our economy and stealing our jobs. I don’t know about anyone else but it’s so easy to find a job, right now I have 3: one full time and two part time jobs and get offers about other jobs all the time. There is no way they steal jobs, they just do the jobs Americans don’t want to do. Sorry for the long post but I really really like this girl…what do you guys think about it?
