You haven't seen any data, but you know my view is in the minority? Where at? Mexico?Well, try and think critically for a change. First, I have no idea whether it's true or not that in fact illegals are taking jobs away from Americans, especially given the 4% unemployment rate. Second, you are in the minority in your opinion because most Americans don't believe illegals are taking jobs away. That is if you believe the polls.
Again, "I can't say one way or another" and "but I can say that most Americans don't believe that" directly contradict each other. Try and think more clearly before you reply again, will ya?
Well, I certainly wouldn't claim your gift of critical thinking, but no, they do not conflict. One concerns facts, the other concerns opinions about those facts.

"Well, try and think critically for a change."
You might try taking that advise.
You have not exactly been great in the thinking department so far, have you?
"First, I have no idea whether it's true or not that in fact illegals are taking jobs away from Americans, "
You have no idea, but you know Americans don't think illegals are taking jobs from Americans anyway, do you? Riiight.
"especially given the 4% unemployment rate."
Unemployment is 4.6%.
And that is out of a population of 300 million.
And there is much higher unemployment amongst blacks and lower skilled workers.
We are not short of low skilled workers.
They just gotta pay above third world wages as this polls shows:
"Seventy-six percent of Americans polled are concerned that American workers can't afford to work for the same low wages as illegal aliens.

"Second, you are in the minority in your opinion because most Americans don't believe illegals are taking jobs away. That is if you believe the polls."
That's easy:
Sixty-three percent of Americans polled are concerned about illegal aliens taking away jobs from American workers.

You got any more nonsense to spew out?
