"It is a lie that the "illegals" are doing jobs Americans won't do. If the "illegals" were not here, those jobs would be performed by Americans, there is no question about that."


NO it's not "a lie"! You apparently have no experience running a business. Immigrants do jobs better and cheaper than Americans who refuse to do the same for the money that is paid usually under $7 per hour. No independent business person will or can pay $15 per hour to wait tables or pick lettuce or clean up in the back.

Our problem is we're paying Americans welfare not to do those jobs Americans won't do and we're importing labor to do it.

We first need to cut out ALL taxpayer funded assistance without requiring a minimal labor amount of 20-25 hrs a week. No work, no pay. Period.

I'm tired of seeing kids wearing Hifinger designer clothes, their moms with fifty-buck nail jobs, buying food with foodstamp debit cards. I'm tired of seeing people in "government assisted" housing making the drug runs, driving 450 Mercedes with a grand apiece rims. And I'm tired of hearing we "owe" it to ourselves to provide for those who can't (meaning won't) provide for themselves, seeing perfectly capable young men standing on the street corner with the crotch of their pants around their ankles doing nothing productive with their lives. Because we PAY them not to do anything.

Surely not when they are getting away with paying them $7 with the taxpayer picking up the difference.

A ridiculous and ignorant statement. I do indeed. I've never had a problem filling any job opening, even at the most basic level.

And I NEVER violated the law by employing an illegal.

I suspect that far too many unethical business owners do just as you suggest and enable those who sneak into our country to break our laws.

You keep using the word "immigrants", those who creep accross our borders are not immigrants, they are foreign invaders, and criminals.

Where did you come from?
