    U.S. always belongs to those who work hard - The Tennessean
    I drive by monstrous homes being built, and it's mostly people who appear to be Mexicans working on the roof in the sun. I work in an office park where the grounds are kept immaculate by a Hispanic crew.

    The list is long. And that's why angry voices raised out of ignorance must be challenged.

    If all these angry voices really are interested in right and wrong, then they'll consider this nation's use of Mexicans throughout its history to enrich and grow its economy.
