Less than artful perhaps, but I don't think he was misquoted or misrepresented.
The thing is, illegals are doing jobs that Americans of all colors will not do. I've seen Mexicans riding bicycles to work in a rainstorm to make sure that they made it to work. Most Americans I know--yours truly included--would call in sick if no other transportation was available. If our work ethic was as great as theirs seem to be, there would be fewer jobs to attract illegals.

Yeah, the whole immigration thing has me tremendously conflicted.
Most hispanics I know have a much better work ethic than I do.

So was this just an example of Fox being caught in a moment of weakness committing candor?

I am a white male
I worked my way thru college, without any grants or aid of any kind.
I am currently working as a software engineer.
These are the jobs that helped me work my way thru school.
- Busboy
- Car wash attendent
- dishwasher
- Newsprint/bailer
- HVAC tecnician
- Land scaper
None of these jobs paid much more than minimum wage.
I guess that blows that theory.

I live on this border 95% hispanic. I don't think I have ever seen a hispanic on a bicycle going to work.
I have seen the use of lone star (food stamp) cards here more than any other places. The rate is 8 in 10 people use food stamps here.

The thing is, illegals are doing jobs that Americans of all colors will not do.There is no such thing as jobs that Americans will not do. It sounds like you've fallen for the lies of the Left. Yes, there are jobs that Americans will not do for the wages being offered. But Americans will do any job if the wages are adequate enough to survive on.
To: hispanichoosier
No. They think they'll get fired and turned over to immigration if they don't get to work. If the illegals had legal status, they wouldn't take certain jobs either...

I've been plowed under by one of those illegals driving a car without the ability to even read the street signs. I never see them driving bicycles above the age of 14 around here. BTW.. I have no idea where that illegal person that hit me is now... Do you?
