"makes $380 a week at a flower nursery"

Surely there is some American who is currently unemployed but willing to take the bus into this suburb to get paid $1,520/month.

The employer would have to pay social security and maybe even provide some kind of health care. And the white customers might have to look at a black face instead of a smiling brown face.

Tough. These are small prices to pay for patriotism and the rule of law.

This employer and his customers are paying for these things anyway. Not paying social security now? Guess what some day down the road you will be asked to subsidize the retirement income of illegals -- count on it.

Not providing health care now? You are already paying the price in crowded emergency rooms and higher health care premiums.

Amen. If Americans take these jobs, the illegals will have no job and therefore must go back.

Many economists consider an unemployment rate of between 3% and 4% to be "full employment." I live in San Diego and I have seen "help wanted" signs stay up for a month.

San Diego County Unemployment Rate Nearly Unchanged in February

03-24-2006 (San Diego, CA) -- San Diego County's unemployment rate was barely changed last month, at 4.1 percent, from 4 percent even in January, but considerably below the 4.7 percent rate in February last year. The California Department of Employment Development says the statewide jobless rate was 5.5 percent, while the rate nationally was 5.1 percent. In San Diego, gains in government jobs were offset by post Christmas layoffs in the retail trade sector of the local economy. San Diego County added a total of 26,500 jobs over the past 12 months, with the largest increase -- 7400 jobs -- in the leisure and hospitality segments. The construction industry added 6100 jobs.

Actually, it'd be $1,652.29. There's 4.34812141 weeks in a month - yeah, I know, but I wanted to know how much that little punk was pulling in.
