Americans would gladly do those jobs -- if the bosses weren't crooks. Almost, but not quite. Americans would do these jobs if the rest of us didn't pay them not to do them. End welfare, end foodstamps, end housing subsidies, and end all of the other tax-payer funded freebies that allow people to refuse these jobs. Given a choice between starvation and picking lettuce, most people will choose the lettuce field. Right now, they aren't faced with that choice. Instead, we take care of them so they needn't worry about an inconvenient job causing them to miss Oprah.
The "Eeeeeeeevil Capitalists" aren't the problem. The "Compassionate" are the problem.

Excellent point. And ending these freebies also applies to the illegals - they wouldn't be willing to work for very little if their income wasn't subsidized by these giveaways.
