"Ya mean doin' jobs at wages Americans won't work for?"
_______________________________________

No I mean doing jobs Americans won't do. Ask employers who is willing to do the grunt work in construction, landscaping, and agriculture. Americans don't even respond to the Ads.

The illegal immigration problem is more than folks coming here to free load. The article pointed out that these were men hanging out looking for day labor.

Has 40 years of abortion depleted our workforce?

Has an attitude of some jobs are beneath me pervaded our culture?

If these illegals weren't doing these jobs who would?

Dunno about these days, but when I was a teenager and a college student, I was doin' a lot of the jobs illegals do. I mowed lawns, worked as a handyman at a country club and an "assisted living facility", worked as a security guard, washed dishes, worked in the store room at restaurant, etc.

I have to believe that there are folks who will do the jobs if the price is right.

There are no jobs Americans wont do,,,that is a myth. There are wages that are not worth working for. The flood of illegals has depressed wages in certain fields to the point where Americans cant make a living.

BS!

Go to any State technical / trade high school and ask those who are trying to get jobs in their chosen trades WHO is taking these entry level blue collar jobs.

Answer:
Illegals.

Speak for yourself. Apparently this is the case for you.

Try this one on for size amigo....
If your business model requires you to be a tax cheat and break employment laws...you have a crappy business. Perhaps you should do something else.


Illegals are hired to pick produce / wash dishes because they are willing to work for below "market" wages. If everyone were "on the books" (legal) in diners / restaurants / produce fields across the country it would ease the burden on American tax payers.

You probably believe that by granting amnesty to these illegal workers already in our country will "solve" this problem. Next season, these scumbag tax cheat employers will just go out and hire more illegals, further cutting the throats of legit business owners.
Meanwhile.....
those illegals who've magically been made "legal" through Shamnesty can begin to collect a few years down the road.

Do you think they'll vote Republican?
