Fifty-one percent of liberals and 45 percent of Democrats told a pollster that too few of their fellow Americans are willing to fill construction, technology, hospitality, and other service jobs, regardless of pay.
From June 23 to June 28, Rasmussen asked its panel of 1,500 likely voters:
People say immigrants fill construction, technology, hospitality and other service jobs that Americans don’t want. Are there Americans who would take those jobs if pay and working conditions were improved or are there just not enough Americans willing to do that kind of work?
Most Americans recognized that their fellow citizens would work “if pay and working conditions were improved.” The recognition came from 70 percent of Republicans, 67 percent of conservatives, but just 34 percent of liberals and 41 percent of Democrats.
The opposite view — “There are just not enough Americans willing to do that kind of work” — was endorsed by 45 percent of Democrats, 51 percent of liberals, and by just 19 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of conservative.
The claim that Americans will not work in tough, dangerous, or dirty jobs is contradicted by data.
Of the 474 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers in these occupations.
There are no occupations in the United States in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants.
“It is a sad state of affairs when democrats and liberals prefer mass immigration over increasing wages for American workers,” said Rosemary Jenks of NumbersUSA. “These woke Americans need to step out of their bubbles a bit more and look at what their preferences actually mean for average Americans—especially the minorities they pretend to champion.”

...and most of those lazy workers vote liberal.
Liberals say a lot of things that aren’t true.
The desire to justify policies that undermine society, has become a religion to these people.
As usual,they totally project.
Maybe there should be bring a liberal to work day. Anyone would freak watching me do my hospital nursing job. Nothing but tge job eight hours no time to wolf down lunch. No Time for gossip, politics, working alongside all races creeds and colors. Giving a Large part of third of my earnings to liberals, retired congress people, planned parenthood
I’ll agree, 50% of Americans are stupid, lazy, entitled, and most vote Democrat. The other 50% has to work and pay for their existence, which is troubling given that they hate us for that?????

Aside: I thought it was from the Greeks, but Wikipedia seems to think otherwise.
Most people in this country have never gone hungry before either.
As many of us on FR already know, these liberals are exhibiting Projection. Expressing THEIR true feelings.
Lazy asses.
Sophocles, from ‘Antigone’. I think he was Greek and a little before Longfellow’s time. You can’t believe everything Wiki tells you.
Thanks. I thought it was Aeschylus.
I really don't understand how we got to the point where someone can simply refuse to get a job and we as a people say "that's OK, here's money and a free iphone'. It boggles the mind that it's considered OK to refuse work and the rest of the country is supposed to contribute the fruits of THEIR labors to support them.
Sounds like projection to me. Conservatives believe in being valuable to one’s fellows. We don’t need to be ‘important’ because we’re not shallow and lazy like liberals are. We don’t mind working hard and we don’t mind starting at the bottom.
Liberals are too lazy to work. Solution...end welfare. Hungry people will work.6
The most honest liberal I ever met very rationally explained his support for gun control: he thought he would get angry and irrational at some point and shoot someone, if he had a gun near him. I said, “certainly you don’t think everyone’s like that?” He said, “yes, but they just don’t admit it.”
Well said.
Which explains why the GOP is better on basic human dignity and the Dems are just interested in dividing us in order to weaken us (so they don’t have to listen to voters on broad stroke issues if those voters are too busy bickering amongst themselves).
