It does not make any sense that the Mexicans take jobs that American workers do not want to do. The crop picking trade 1)is not the only thing that the illegals do 2)the importation of IT people from India, and the exportation of customer service jobs to India is a good illustration of a heartless government that is not concerned about its own citizen employment.

90% of the housing framer carpenters, sheet rock hangers, landscapers,...are all illegal immigrants that are stealing jobs away from our own underclass, and thus pushing our own poor workers into deeper poverty.

And in a generation, many of these foreign laborers who are ambitionus will be running construction and landscaping companies. With enforcement, we have entry jobs for citizens, some of whom will learn, advance, and become prosperous.

That's more than true here in Vegas. They're displacing citizen workers in record numbers. Behind the scenes where the tourists aren't looking, they're just about all illegal now. And wages here are plummeting! Our taxes have doubled to make up the difference.
