Geraldo says they are out working in the fields and you won’t find Americans willing to do that job.

News for you Mr Geraldo, about 40% aren’t Mexican guest workers, but over-stayed their Visa’s. MSNBC may have a spot for you when FOXnews finally wakes up and smells the Cuervo...

Are There Really Jobs Americans Won’t Do? A detailed look at immigrant and native employment across occupations

Of the 472 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 even in these occupations.

We find that there are no occupations in the United States in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants.

Illegal immigrants work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the overwhelming majority of workers even in these areas are native-born or legal immigrants.

Although illegal immigrants comprise a large share of workers in agriculture, farm workers are only a tiny share of the total labor force. Consistent with other research, just 5 percent of all illegal immigrants work in agriculture.

As far as I’m concerned, Whorealdo has long since overstayed HIS visa! I know, I know, he’s Puerto Rican, so therefore a citizen, but can we PLEASE trade him for an unnamed Mexican or Honduran?
