You might try taking that advise. You have not exactly been great in the thinking department so far, have you?

No, I thought I might be dealing with an intelligent conservative here, and so my thinking hasn't been great this morning.

You have no idea, but you know Americans don't think illegals are taking jobs from Americans anyway, do you? Riiight.

Correct. Can you name one job an illegal has taken away from an American? But I am willing to concede the possibility, though as I said, most Americans don't believe they take jobs away. Yes, in fact those two conclusions are not mutually exclusive.

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.

The question is will blacks and lower skilled workers take the jobs. Most Americans don't think so. And looking at New Orleans where $10 to $25 an hour jobs went wanting (few of the evacuees wanted to come back and work), I would say most Americans are right.

Sixty-three percent of Americans polled are concerned about illegal aliens taking away jobs from American workers. Time Magazine/SRBI Survey, January 24-26, 2006

Is that it? January? You mean there have been no polls since?

You got any more nonsense to spew out?

Actually yes.

A June 8-25 Gallup Polls showed that 74% say that illegals take jobs most Americans don't want.
LA. Times/Bloomberg 6/24-27 showed that 51% say illegals take jobs Americans don't want.
CBS News/NY Times 5/4-8 shows that 53% feel illegals take jobs Americans don't want.

Given your interest in polls, is that enough spew for you to chew on, or would you like to see more?

Thinking is not your strong point. Period.
Ah well.


" Can you name one job an illegal has taken away from an American?"

Huh?
You just lost it did you? Sigh.
From Thomas Sowell, one of the best economists of his generation:

"How many times have we heard that illegal aliens are taking "jobs that Americans won't do"? Just what specifically are those jobs?


Even in occupations where illegals are concentrated, such as agriculture, cleaning, construction, and food preparation, the great majority of the work is still being done by people who are not illegal aliens.

The highest concentration of illegals is in agriculture, where they are 24 percent of the people employed. That means three-quarters of the people are not illegal aliens. But when will the glib phrase-mongers stop telling us that the illegals are simply taking "jobs that Americans won't do"?"



"But I am willing to concede the possibility, "

Now that's mighty generous of you.


"though as I said, most Americans don't believe they take jobs away"

I'll supply you with the evidence..yet again:

"Sixty-three percent of Americans polled are concerned about illegal aliens taking away jobs from American workers.
Time Magazine/SRBI Survey, January 24-26, 2006"



"Yes, in fact those two conclusions are not mutually exclusive."

Hah Hah.
All you keep doing is confusing yourself even more with every post you put in.
Why don't you go take a walk to clear ya head?
It's for your own good.
