This is the ugly truth behind the propaganda of immigration enthusiasts, who insist that illegal aliens are doing "Jobs that Americans won't do."

Do the pro-illegal immigrant dummies realize that not only will the illegals take the jobs that "Americans won't do" (and I disagree wholeheartedly with that premise, but I digress....), the illegals are taking the jobs that Americans WILL do, such as construction and trade jobs? Doesn't it stand to reason that if employers can get away with paying Mexicans less for vegetable picking, that they can also get away with paying Mexicans less for what used to be high-paying jobs, like framing houses and pouring concrete, installing heating and air conditioning? Do the pro-illegal dummies really think that employers in THOSE fields aren't going to take advantage of all that cheap labor and shut out the American workers?

Are they really as stupid as they appear to be?

When someone appears that stupid, there's usually some self-interest at work. Smells like a class war to me.

Yes, the Pro-Illegals are that stupid, or worse, evil. Whether or not people like it, or can drag themselves from denial long enought to deal with the reality, we are going to get dragged kicking and screaming into a world where American labor is more on-par with the rest of the worlds. Since the vast majority of that labor market is making somewhere between US $0.25 to $2.00/hour it will eventually come home to roost here.

It wouldn't be so bad if we had some means of simultaneously reducing the costs that are currently burdening the $7.25+ American worker (so that a reduction in wages wouldn't lead to a rapidly declining standard of living) but that is just NOT going to happen because it will involve a massive reduction in social largess and, consequently, the reelection of politicians.
