"Jobs Americans Won't Take" = Jobs Americans used to be able to raise their families with before the slave labor trade took over.

"They hang drywall and clean houses, hotels and office buildings."

Did someone say hotels?

Excuse me, but does anyone from the "African American" community ever, ever bring up the issue that these illegal immigrants are taking jobs from all the black people that say that they WANT a job? Isn't the unemployment rate among blacks higher than among whites?

Don't the blacks want good jobs? Or do they already have good jobs working for the government or post office?

Is there something I don't know?

So we make some product cheaper for certain people, and then those inequities are done in with subsidizing those people with taxes, destroying wages in the industry, and replacing a successful culture with a failed culture.

Much less you'll guarantee an open border if these individuals ever get voting rights. Might as well call us Mexico when that happens.

...fresh spotlight as Congress and President Bush grapple with revamping the nation's immigration policies.

Amazing that they're "grappling" with this. It should be a no-brainer.

But the survey found greater ambiguity on whether illegal immigrants are good or bad for American society.

So why the headline?????

If they're good for the economy, why don't they help the Mexican economy. It needs more help than the American economy.

Day 1: Undocumented workers are taking jobs that Americans won't do, (for technically, kinda-sorta lower wages).

Day 2: Evil Zionist corporations are outsourcing our precious jobs to scumbag unfairly lower-waged foreign countries!!!

When you factor in the added health, language, education, and other social service costs, that wipes out the entirety of the savings one gets at the supermarket.

Gee thanks Laurie, for all this "EXPERT" testimony from the likes of the "Ageno School of Business at Golden Gate University in San Francisco" for starters, the Pew Research Something Or Other ,assorted hot shots and the good old dumber than dog snot average American who knows not how to find his bottom with both hands.

The "Take Away Message" is: What ? in ten words or less?

All these criminals you have renamed as "hardworking nice people" are gifts of manna from heaven? And all those wonderful public servants still have'nt figured out how to keep up the verbal tap dancing while continuing to not enforce the laws that already exist to prevent illegal immigration? Are what exactly?

Gee! Thanks for the bulletin.

When are you and they going to surprise us white folk with jobs that we really want to do?

Uh, since when does breaking tax law and depressing the wage scale in America 'help the economy'?... Truth is it fattens the businesses breaking the tax laws, but it does reduce costs for goods and services though the increase in costs for social programs for twelve million (more is more likely) more than offsets such reductions.

Two-thirds of Americans polled think illegal immigrants fill jobs that most Americans do not want, according to a recent AP-Ipsos poll.

The one biased poll that said this, which runs counter to every other poll taken to date, and the liberals/RINOs have glommed on to it like it is the truth from Mt. Sinai.

Tancredo for President!

Because they are the number one export keeping the feudal state of Mexico from revolution to behead the twenty odd families running that state.
