That's because they are going to take all the construction jobs. boo hoo, look at me, im sad because i'm not going to be a construction worker. i'm tired of lazy americans complaining that hispanics are "taking" their jobs...if you lost your job to an immigrant, it's probably because the immigrant is willing to work harder for less money. what's that? is that the sound of COMPETITION i hear? who cares, competition with an immigrant or non-immigrant, if someone can't deal with it, then maybe THEY'RE the one who shouldn't be in this country, not the immigrant.

No. Competition exists when the rules are the same for all parties.

Illegal immigrants don't have 1/3 of their pay taken up-front in payroll taxes. A mexican working for 10 dollars an hour takes home 10 dollars per hour. An American citizen has to "make" 15 dollars per hour to take home 10 dollars per hour. In the higher-tax states the disparity is greater.

American workers are further handicapped in the "competition" when the illegal immigrants have free access to government services that are not freely available to the employed American -- services that the American must pay for through taxes to benefit the invaders, then pay for again when they need to use the services.

American workers don't get free college, free medical, interest-free SBA loans, free housing, along with tax-free living, that the immigrants enjoy.

Actually, you're wrong. Here in the US, we have these silly things called "Laws". Now, it seems you and GWB are of the same ilk, you like "selective law enforcement". But in a Democratic Republic, that kind of stuff doesn't really fly.
I'm a legit business owner, I abide by these annoying little things called "Laws". Darn, I know they get in the way, but the principal of the matter is that it levels the playing field for everyone to "compete".

So, when some POS a$$hole hires an illegal criminal trespasser....or "immigrant" as you like to call them, that POS side steps current "LAWS"....there goes that silly word again....he, he, he....
Now, here's where the tough part comes in. That employee now has an unfair advantage over (silly) people who choose to obey these "laws". That POS employer does not have to pay taxes on his employee, and also pays the "migrant" less than what he would normally have to pay. This "Normal" pay rate is called the "market rate". When you hire illegal criminal trespassers, you do not have to pay the "market rate".

Please step back a few feet from your computer when you read this, I fear your head might explode with all this reality goin' on.

Maybe it's YOU, who should leave this country and set up residence in a lawless turd world country.

Hey genius...My post was an attempt at humor. Whether or not I succeeded, I'll leave up to the individual. Not that I'm really interested in anyone's opinion, mind you. Although I will comment on your post...Wait until you gradjooate kollege and enter the job market before you make such certain pronouncements about competition, outsourcing, and ILLEGAL immigration. It's more complex than you make it out to be.
