Q: How is it that these jobs are done by Americans in states with low illegal immigration rates?

They don't get done there.

Why not apply this principle to the jobs "Americans will not do," and allow the free market to bid up wages for American workers?

Some jobs just are not worth that much.

How do you propose to pay for the education, and health care for the families of foreign workers who will do "the jobs Americans will not do"?

The proposal on hand is the workers, but we are already supplying this for illegals so nothing much changes here.

Don't get done ? Somehow diapers were changed, dishes were bussed and lettuce was picked before illegals.

Some jobs are not worth that much ? Illegal immigration is corrupt employers forcing down the cost of non to semi skilled labor by dumping on the taxpayer the cost of social services. Do you think Mara Salvatrucha and the rampant lawlessness that is turning border regions into hell is some kind of bargain we can afford for a penny less a pound for lettuce ?

Teen students no longer get those jobs. See below-


"2 in 3 U.S. Teens Snubbed for Summer Jobs in Favor of Cheap Immigrant Labor"
USA Today, May 3, 2004

The annual teen employment rate tumbled from 45% in 2000 to 37% last year – lowest since the figure was first tracked in 1948.
Research shows that teen employment can lead to higher wages and employment in adulthood, especially for those who don't go on to four-year colleges.
Disadvantaged youths who work in high school are also less likely to drop out.
