[Age of Reason]

Americans work underground in coal mines under threat of cave-ins and poison gas.

Americans work as garbage men, outdoors in all kinds of weather, each man lifting several tons of stinking, leaking garbage every day.

Americans work in sewers and Americans work hundreds of feet in the air walking steel beams.

There is no job Americans won't do.

Thank you.

And I'm getting pretty sick of bigoted assertions otherwise.

To the contrary there are plenty of jobs that Americans won't do and won't do well.

A little competition in the marketplace will help improve services and living conditions for all.

So true. I just went back home to the small mid-western town I grew us in to visit my family for Christmas. I didn't see one Mexican there. Instead, I saw nothing but white and black American teenagers flipping burgers, bagging groceries, and busting their rears doing all those jobs that Americans supposedly won't do. And, they weren't lazy or rude about it, either. The American work ethic still exists for the youth in that tiny town, and each of those kids is sure to become someone else's boss someday. I guarantee it.

They never worked for my dad!

Amen to that!!! Couldn't agree more. One thing about all of the jobs you mention is that for the most part they pay excellent wages with very good benifits. These occupations are largly protected by union rules or some sort of licensing requirement. Some food for thought: What do you suppose would happen if illegal aliens started lining up for these jobs willing to do them for $5.50/hr and skip the benifits because they'll just line up at the nearest emergency room in the event anything happens.
