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?

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.
"Are these jobs that Americans will not do?"That particular mantra has been repeated by the White House so many times it long ago lost whatever scintilla of credence it may have once had. Nobody, and I mean nobody really believes it, especially the chanters.
