Why not? They took millions of our jobs away, didn't they?

They didn't "take" our jobs away from us, they were GIVEN jobs most Americans don't want, by American employers.

The idea that people are having a fit because Bush thinks they should receive benefits after paying into the SS fund is just spiteful and pathetic.
Bush is a decent and fair President.

Where is your evidence that the jobs offered to illegals were ever offered or posted for Americans to decide they wanted or didn't want? What is the average time an employer advertized for help before sending a recruiter down to Mexico? What was the pay that was offered to Americans when they turned the jobs down?

The jobs you have to steal or use a forged document to obtain are often jobs Americans would take --- in those cases, often the illegal is pulling a fast one on the employer.

Yes...they were GIVEN jobs American citizens needed. Less than 2% are picking your lettuce. Here in Vegas, friends are losing jobs in record numbers...behind the scenes, the jobs are being given to illegals. My neighbor Larry is a good example. He's a master carpenter...works on the Mandelay Bay Casino...or did. You have to be very good to be hired to work on the Casinos. He was replaced by an illegal...most of the construction is now being done by under the table illegal workers. So he bit the bullet and went to school to learn industrial welding. He took all of the exams and got his liscense. Now he's worried about losing that job because an illegal can go into the North end and buy a Welder's Liscense for $250! Jobs Americans won't do? Don't make me laugh!
