Occasionally they tell the truth, part 11: SC lawmaker says immigrants work harder

Well, maybe I should clarify. I don't know if these comments are "the truth." Maybe more like "speaking what's really on his mind." From Yahoo! News and the Associated Press:
"Black SC lawmaker: Immigrants are hardest workers"

"An African-American lawmaker in South Carolina said Tuesday that stricter illegal immigration laws would hurt the state because blacks and whites don't work as hard as Hispanics."

"State Sen. Robert Ford ... said 'brothers' don't work as hard as Mexicans. He continued that his 'blue-eyed brothers' don't either."

"Once his ancestors were freed from slavery, he said, they didn't want to do any more hard work, so they were replaced by Chinese and Japanese."

Wow! Let the criticism begin!
