Please read the whole story. The author makes some good point as to what would happen if the illegals were out of the country and who would take "the jobs Americans won't do".

And you on Monday morning are going to apply for a vegetable picker or janitorial job?

Oh that's right, you probably won't, since the people who run those comapnies are "eviL" capitalists.

Spoken like a true anti-American. Which you are.

That's no justification for hiring ILLEGALS. They're here illegaly That's the key.

If the government would ease restrictions on legal immigration and do some kind of guest worker program, then getting people to do those jobs wouldn't be a problem.

Vegetable pickers? Not in my state. We're not agriculture based here. The illegals here are doing most of the framing, painting, roofing, plumbing, and drywall on residential and commerical construction. Is this work Americans won't do? No. Increasingly it's work they can't get because they have been crowded out of the of market.

You are cherry-picking cherry-picking as your justification for why we need 30 million illegals clogging our hospitals, social services, and public schools. That's not very honest of you.

In my state these people have moved quickly beyond work that "Americans won't do" and have been aggressively taking up much higher-paying and more skilled jobs.

In your world, is violation of the law a part of true capitalism? Does capitalism advocate breaking the law to achieve its goals? Do capitalists believe they are above the law?

Oh, for crying out loud. Isn't it time to rotate talking points?

[Hawk1976]

Hey, Dane I have picked vegetables. If I lost my job and had to I would again. I heard somewhere that we have 70 some odd million people on welfare on this country. Rather than asking us, why don't you go ask them, providing of course that since there is work they can't receive welfare for that time period?

Or is that I have to not only subsidize illegal workers, I also have to subsidize people who have no good reason why they can't work?

Thank you for your non-answer in advance.

Speaking just to the janitorial jobs, 20 years ago here in LA there was a predominately black custodian's union. Paid a lower middle class wage but enough to get a small house (wife would work too) and send your children to a state collage (or better if the kids did well). Thats gone now at least for the black janitors. I would love to see stats own how many traditional "Black" jobs, have gone to illegals and destroyed a floundering middle class to people that have been citizens for at least 150 years.
