They are waiters and busboys and house framers and manicurists and delivery boys and shop clerks. They are absolutely doing jobs that Americans would do. I lived in Los Angeles for a decade and I can tell you that they are taking jobs that citizens want.

And roofers and carpenters and many more jobs. They have managed to bring down the wages in many areas so that Americans "won't do" the jobs...read priced out of the market by those that can work for much less for many reasons. Not the least of which is crowded housing, cash payments and no taxes in some cases, etc.

They know if they slip out of the migrant jobs they can find it easier to disappear into the woodwork and stay. Illegally.

Oh and Hi AnnaZ...nice to see you posting your thoughts here again ;>)

It looks like you and I have come to the same place on the issue of immigration, only my two words are...

"Get Out!"

Well said! I had not seen your blog before, but I will check it often.

My favorite protest sign has been the "We're not criminals!" one. Uh, well, yes, frankly, you are.

That point is worth repeating, because the current administration seems to prefer to walk in errors like these of new-ku-lar proportions and not seem to care about correcting them.
