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

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.
