I am a candidate for California 41 st Assembly District. The cities of my district include: Santa Monica , Malibu , Malibu Heights , Pacific Palisades, Topanga, Agoura, Agoura Hills, Encino, Woodland Hills, Westlake Village , Hidden Hills and Calabasas.

So, is this the sacrificial MinuteMan candidate running in the district that thinks more like Barbra Streisand?

"Jobs Americans won't do"

Was one of the most insulting phrases anyone could say about taxpaying voters.

How must it have sounded to the rest of the world hearing who said it.

It wasn't a lib or Fox of mexico, no, .. worse.

So why waste tax dollars on public schools... 75% of the illegals don't have a high school diploma and the employers don't seem to mind!

3% of Illegal Aliens Do Low-Paid Stoop Agricultural Labor; the Remaining 97% Take Jobs That Americans Want and Need

The most recent Pew Hispanic Center 's study indicates that 97% of 12 to 20 million illegal aliens are working in construction, hospitality, manufacturing, restaurant, administrative and service jobs. Are these jobs that Americans will not do?

[stopem]

For the record they get paid $10 and hour and they ahve a union.

BUT the irony of it is produce sold in our supermarkets come from other countries so why do American companies NEED,MUST HAVE illegals imported??

[Danae]

When is our "Government" going to get this simple fact:

Americans won't do the jobs, don't want them, and can't get them because the Illegals will do them for 3$ an hour!!!!!!!

No American can GET the jobs, because they expect to get Minimum wage for it!

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Lord, when are these SPIN doctors gonna get that we are SMARTER than their SPIN??????????

</useless soapbox moment>

ahve = have

Let's be honest about this. The Senate Judiciary Committee amnesty proposal is in effect an amnesty for the criminal employers who have been avoiding employer sanctions since the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). IRCA was America 's last failed attempt at granting amnesty to criminal aliens to stem the tide of illegal immigration. The border security and employer (of illegal alien) sanction provision of IRCA were not enforced. So after eliminating the 3.5 million illegal aliens in the United States via the 1986 amnesty, the number of illegal aliens has swollen to 12 to 20 million in 20 years. Why? Because our government did not secure our borders and enforce employer sanctions as promised in the IRCA.

Stinkin' lies. Vicente Fox, president of North America, demands an apology.

Without the taxpayer provided babysitting service the illegals would need a higher wage.

Which jobs in those industries? Roofing in August? Cleaning hotel rooms? Bussing tables? Running a sewing maching in a factory all day? Killing chickens and dismembering them? I don't know what admin jobs illegals are doing, frankly. Service jobs? What type? Gardening?

Pretty much, yes, it's hard to find Americans to do many of those jobs. Try telling your teenaged daughter to apply at the local Holiday Inn for her summer job...they're looking for housekeeping help, I guarantee. She'll give you "the look." Suggest that your son go to work at the local Denny's bussing tables. "Yeah, right," he'll say.

Why is this? Well, in part it's because there are all those illegal aliens out there who want those jobs, and too few Americans who want them. Most of these jobs are the sort of scut work our teenagers used to do. Now, the teenagers want to either be an "intern" somewhere or don't want to do any darned thing at all except lie around and do nothing at all or head to the mall with YOUR credit card.

I could have sworn we had farms here. And I'm nearly positive that I've driven through hundreds of miles of orchards in California.

Which country do we import Idaho potatoes from?

Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your letter of application. Unfortunately, you did not meet our requirements for Federal, State, Local and FICA taxes, as well as Medicare, Social Security and Workmen's Comp, meaning to say - we don't want to pay any of that. We'd rather you stay in your current job and indirectly pay for all of these things for our illegals.

Muchas Gracias y Lo Siento,

There is a Developer building three 600 k houses just a couple of blocks from where I live .
Not to long ago I walked by to see how they were doing and I found two separate crews working.The one doing the framing were speaking Spanish with a Mexican accent and the other crew was putting in the electrical and they were Brazilians.
I didn't ask them how much they were paid but if the developer couldn't afford to pay them whatever American carpenters and electricians would charge he has no business building the houses to begin with

You'd think houses would be cheaper because of the cheap labor involved...but the market is mixed (ie there's many Americans working in the industry as well), and so the prices still follow the most someone is willing to pay for the property. In other words, the developers are raking in tons of cash at the expense of everyone else.
