A contradiction? Does this mean that after several years they will not do the jobs that they came her for?
"Does this mean that after several years they will not do the jobs that they came her for?"
That's a darn good question, isn't it?
Maybe they are cheaper workers because taxes are not remitted for them, workers compensation, unemployement, etc. coverage is not paid for, nor provided to, them.
I find this idea that we are willing to tolerate an underclass of people, legally or illegally, un-American and down right disgusting.
Look at Europe, they imported all those Muslims to "do the jobs the Euros wouldn't do" and yet all you hear is "many Muslim youths are unemployed" and the over-all unemployment rate is 8%.
Whatever amount of people we need to bring into this country to do whatever jobs are available, it can be done legally and in compliance with all relevent labor laws.
Until our gov't is ready to really secure our borders (ALL borders, including the ones at the airports) every other action is pointless and a waste of everyone's time and effort.
I think we've all learned that since the 1980s, and I think we all learned on 9/11 the lesson that is re-inforced every week, if not every day, plenty of the illegals who come here mean to do us hard. This is a DIRECT result of NO CONTROL of our borders.
We should be well entitled to pick and choose who comes into this country. And anyone who comes here better come here to be an American, not to be a Mexican, not to be a Muslim, but to be an American.

And yes, my Irish grandmother was a LEGAL immigrant to this country, and was proud to be an American. She never even visited Ireland after her children were grown.
End Section 8 housing and all the other welfare programs and suddenly there will be a whole class of Americans interested in these jobs. Hunger is an amazing motivator.
