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.

Uh where did you "cherry-pick" the 30 million number from?

Also interesting that you do not mention the trial lawyers ruining the health care system, or the teacher unions ruining the education system.

Oh that's correct it's all "cherry picker Jose's" fault.

"Is this work Americans won't do? No. Increasingly it's work..." American consumers would rather not pay American wages for.

I'd like to see all illegals kicked out, but it cracks me up to see business blamed for amswering consumers' demands.

American consumers are going to demand that most illegals be readmitted. Fine, I just want the government to control the immigration.
