I finally figured it out. I kept hearing about all those jobs Americans just wont do. Were never really told what they are, but I guess we should be happy theyre getting done and stop complaining about all the negative aspects of having twenty million illegal aliens in our midst.
Perhaps we should just accept the idea that 25 American citizens are going to continue to be killed every day by illegals -- half of them by drunk drivers -- because its a small price to pay to get all those jobs done.
We should get used to the idea that nearly four million children of illegals are filling our public schools, and that more than 300,000 illegal aliens are serving time in our prisons. There are another 640,000 illegals who should be in prison but arent because they are fugitives. Were not paying to incarcerate them, so thats a plus, but unfortunately they are probably the ones responsible for killing those 25 Americans every day. And, of course, we are getting those jobs done.
We really shouldnt complain about the resurgence of heretofore eradicated diseases, including Tuberculosis and the plague. Youve probably heard that bedbugs are also making a comeback. But its okay, because were getting all those jobs done.
I guess we should be more than willing to pay the cost for illegals to flood our hospital emergency rooms for free service; and its the least we can do to declare their babies born on our soil as American citizens. What else could a compassionate society do for people doing all those jobs for us?
Americans should be happy to press one for English and to sort through multiculti instructions written in Spanish (and sometimes other languages) in order to find the English directions. But again, who else is going to do all those jobs? Snobby, self-indulgent Americans? I dont think so.
I have to confess that I was less than thrilled recently to see my local super market put up new signs over their food aisles directing customers to the item of their choice in both English and Spanish. I found myself wondering how long it would take me to figure out in Mexico City that Jalapeño means Pepper. But after I thought about all those jobs lazy, spoiled Americans (apparently including me) simply wont do, I realized it was well worth whatever inconvenience I might experience.|
To tell you the truth, I was at a loss to figure out which jobs the invading hordes of illegals actually were doing that my fellow Americans and I wont do. Oh, I know the usual answers, but those dont seem to be the jobs I see them doing. In fact, I see them roofing houses and making good money at it. I see them working hard at more and more skilled jobs that people I know personally would gladly do.
Then, as I wrote at the beginning of this column, I finally figured it out. It was the story of the Fort Dix Six that finally made it all click for me. Six Muslim men were arrested for plotting to kill American soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
I have a photo hanging on my office wall of my fathers Army platoon at Fort Dix. It is dated April 4, 1942. Fort Dix has been a primary jumping-off point for our troops headed overseas for generations, which, of course, is what made it such a tempting target.
At least three of the Fort Dix Six were in this country illegally. They were brothers. They owned a roofing company. Again, thats not a job American workers wont do, so what could they possibly be doing here? Thats when it hit me.
Being a member of a terrorist cell is the one job Americans just wont do.
Illegal aliens — killing the people Americans refuse to kill.
Sadly, that's just not true either...
Have people ever stopped and wondered how stoopid that sounds?
bttt
Oh, I don't know about that.
Ask Jose' Padilla, John Mohammad, Timothy McVeigh, or the Lackawanna Seven. They didn't seem to have any problems doing that job.

Opening the borders to every Tom, Dick, and Harry when we have more than enough homegrown drunks, crooks, and/or pervs is dumber.
“Have people ever stopped and wondered how stoopid that sounds?”
Not half as stupid as your replies are.
Not as long as we have a political party that roots for the enemy to win.
Yeah that’s right most Americans will not become suicide bombers or let a company exploit them for pay below the required minimum wage.
Well MOST Americans. will not do. We all know its never ALL for any statement.
Have you had a loved one killed by an illegal immigrant yet?
“Being a member of a terrorist cell is the one job Americans just wont do.”
Cute ending line, but wholly inaccurate. McVeigh was a terrorist. Unibomber was a terrorist. SLA was a terrorist ‘cell’ as was weatherunderground, black panthers, etc etc etc. Animal Liberation Front - ALF - is a terrorist cell.
All are ‘American’. And I only touch on a few of the better known ‘terrorist cells’.
I understand his point about illegals, I understand his frustration at the administration and congress refusing to correct this huge problem.
But his choice of ‘theme’ is so faulty its staggering.
Wow.
Bingo. Hammer - Nail - Contact

“waah, I can’t have a knee-jerk reaction regarding illegal immigration on FR!”
LOL, like that would make the original comment less idiotic.
