I was addressing only a small part of the problem, and I stand by my statement:

Those that come here and wish to retain their culture, nothing wrong with that. But those who come here and wish to have Americans conform to their culture should stay in their "culture" and fix their own countries.

Yes, employers lower their wages to the point where illegal immigrants will only take the "jobs Americans won't do" and Citizens won't do the jobs for a variety of reasons.

Our culture has been changed so much by the liberal agenda to the point that children these days are not taught a good work ethic. And are brought up without the knowledge that they have to work. I knew one kid who was too proud to work at McDonalds and he ended up in San Quentin.

We can't blame it all on the greedy employers either. Sure, they encourage it also.

I blame them for this problem long before I would go after poor, desperate and largely uneducated people who exploit their invitation to come in and get these jobs they do not want to give their fellow citizens.

My statement in no way "goes after the poor, desperate uneducated etc people."

The blame starts at the top, with the corrupt government in Mexico. Mexico is a very rich country, and has thousands of Millionaires. Most if not all of which exploit the citizens of that country and steal all the resources to the point where it's pretty much a master/slave relationship.

Kinda like it was here a couple of hundred years ago. Did we desert our fledging country and sneak into other countries and undermine their economy? No, we stayed and fought for a free country.

If illegal immigrants here are educated enough to do construction jobs, etc then they should be smart enough to take their country back from the corrupt regime that has run it for decades.

Unfortunately, I don't see this problem being resolved anytime in the near future.

In fact, if Manuel Lopez Obrador becomes the next president of Mexico-which is a distinct possibility-I see things getting a lot worse.
