Why not show up with protest signs about "saving American jobs for only Americans" to different worksites in The Villages where workers are building houses? Or maybe signs and shouting that say something like "Go back where you came from".
That might even make the national news. It surely would make local television news. Great publicity for The Villages, too, to show we are a bunch of intolerant bigots.
Instead of replying to my post and calling me an elitist liberal or any other names, show up to the job sites with your protest signs. If you talk the talk - walk the walk. Me? I'm going to the beach tomorrow. The talk I am talking is to be tolerant of others - with the exception of Sarah Palin.

Wow, thought I'd never say this, but I actually agree with you, tbugs - well, except for the Sarah Palin part and I'm honored to be called an elitist liberal! This whole thread has the high stink of bigotry. Anyone here in The Villages want those laborers jobs? Or maybe you want to travel to Plant City and pick strawberries until your back breaks? We have an ecomony built on the backs of these people who are just wanting to make enough to support the families they had to leave behind. Maybe when a head of lettuce costs $5 and a new home costs 50% more you'll lose the mantra of "illegal is illegal".
