When we lived in the Cayman Islands, you had to have a "work permit" that was renewable every year. Each job had to be advertised once a year, and if a Caymanian was qualified and wanted the job, then your work permit was revoked.

There were plenty of jobs the Caymanians didn't want, and for the most part, folks from neighboring Caribbean countries did that work.

If there wasn't a skilled Caymanian available to do a specific task, the company would hire someone other than a Caymanian.

I think there should be recognition that there are jobs that Americans don't want, or let's put it this way, have moved away from.

Migrant agriculture workers seem to me the perfect example of jobs that most Americans would have a hard time adapting to.

But a system should be in place that allows a citizen to take precedence over a "work permit" holder, should they want the job.

Would you please not be so logical? This is FR. You're supposed to just say you hate the President now and think you are voting for Pat Buchanan now and talk about how much better an American you are than everyone else because you hate "illegals" (or, Mexicans, as they're more commonly known as).

I use to like and respect Bush a lot but I am starting to dislike him even more. Bush is a Liberal, just face it guys. Maybe he isn't as Liberal as Dean and the rest of those idiots but he's still an ignorant Liberal when it comes to domestic issues. That's just a fact.

I think there is work for which employers are unwilling or too cheap to pay for at American wages, and so they resort to breaking the law. (If the market decides that there is a shortage of those willing to dig ditches, the ONLY CONSERVATIVE response should be the free market one of having to pay more to attract those LEGALLY here to do the work)

I think there should be a recognition that anyone who knowingly hires an illegal alien should have his business confiscated under RICO, and his UnAmerican, terrorist supporting butt thrown in jail.

Guess you didn't grow up in farm country?

....its not just on the farms doing stoop labor or in the milking barns on corporate farms...they are also taking jobs in the big processing plants..meat packing and vegetable canning..it's here that many Americans have been replaced...and now wont be hired...It isn't because Americans don't want these jobs..College students, high school students and house wives who worked during the seasons for extra money..and tuition. I earned college money this way my self...and so did many of the kids I went to school with..

Of course big outfits like the Clinton's best buddies Tyson Chicken...use a lot of Mexican labor and have been busted using illegals and underage illegal's children....

The Mexicans don't go back to Mexico anymore...they stay through the winter...and take advantage of state programs..education, health care and other state programs..to save money they live communally....in some small towns they are also a violent crime and property crime problem..

According to crime stats the illegals are also a source of drug trafficking...Mexican "red" methamphetamine making inroads among our local teens...

Once they are registered...the 'owners of the means of production' will have to carry them on insurance..pay them workman's comp...unemployment...social security disability...their cheap labor advantage is about to disappear I think...they are about to get very expensive...

One of the new 'migrants' around here wears a neat Teeshirt with a pic of Che Gueverra on it... makes one wonder what other business he has in America besides pickin apples or working in the food processing plant.. Wait till they get organized...

Naturally for all the problems we are about to incur because of them... tax payers will have to shell out even more...for our new Mexican outreach social program...

IMO

Ever notice who is building the houses we live in? Hispanics, almost exclusively.

Those are good paying jobs that Americans now out of work should be doing. But because the Illegals will do the work for a lot less, home builders have no reason to hire Americans.

What do YOU want: A house for $1,000 less or more empolyed Americans?
