I have often wondered, in my naivete, why these 'jobs that Americans won't fill' can't be filled by those on welfare, unemployment or prison worker release programs.

You're probably thinking of the potato-pickin' jobs and such, and I agree with you.

But just wait until the factories and tech companies realize that they can advertise for all these jobs that "no one in this country can fill" (yeah, right) and import all sorts of cheap labor from Mexico for mundane factory jobs, plus all sorts of cheap Indian labor for engineering jobs.

This might eventually do away with alot of the illegals and associated problems but it is going to do alot more to displace American workers than anything we have ever seen.
