I don't buy the WH's argument that there are jobs Americans "won't do".

Look, IF there are jobs Americans "won't do" then we don't have "unemployment". We have "refuse-employment".

Good. Are you filling out that application to empty $#!tcans at Sizzler yet?

[ampat]

Concur. At any rate all those "americans won't do" jobs have been filled ten times over by legal immigrants who have come into this country over the last 50 years. If there are still some jobs, then let the legal immigrants (go through the legal process) get them.

No, it means the companies that are in need of folks to do these physically demanding, often hazardous jobs, are not playing by market rules - which is the same for a slice of bread as it is for labor.

Instead, they are importing slaves, and letting the rest of us subsidize their existence.

Take them of of transfer payemnts and they will take those jobs.

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.

No kidding. What he's saying is that there are jobs that Americans won't do for less than the cost of living.

Its true...

I will give you perfect example too. In Marin County California every day you drive down Anderson or Bellam in San Rafael and find hundreds of hispanics looking for work. They stand in the sun and the rain, it matters not. They openly advertise there desire to work, to do any work, every day by there mere presence.

5 or so miles away across the bay in Richmond, you can find a similar scene, but looks are decieving. Here the streets are full of the unemployed, sitting on corners, hangin out at the liquor store. This community of African Americans choose to spend their time loitering for the sake of loitering.

Across my entire memory, I can never recall packs of African Americans, or White guys for that matter, standing on the street corners to hopefully cop a job from some homeowner or contractor in Marin. Never ever.

Explain to me how it is that Americans never stand on the street corner for the opportunity to get behind the wooden end of a shovel?

For the record...I am against blanket amnesty...
