Having just spent 2 weeks in Southern California I can attest to just how many Mexicans there are living in the area doing jobs that nobody in their right mind would want to do. I knew that there were "a lot" of them there but I had no idea just how much "a lot" was. It makes you appreciate the diversity that Canada has with their immigration...to a certain extent of course.

I cant help but wonder how we ever survived before millions of illegal people came to rescue us from all those jobs that nobody in their right mind would do.

“In order to avoid offending religious fundamentalists, our National Park Service is under orders to suspend its belief in geology,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch.

...but offending anyone with an ounce of common sense is perfectly okay.

I am not sure if this is ironic or moronic.
