Don`t you think higher wages have been offered? With the Illegals, unemployment in Denver is non existent. It isn`t a money question, it`s who will do the work. When was the last time you applied to dig ditches or pick fruit? Do you even mow your lawn? This isn`t an excuse for illegals, but we need some low skilled workers from someplace cause in the real world,most Americans have better things to do.

They’re taking decent jobs too. That’s what the dems are worried about.

"This isn`t an excuse for illegals, but we need some low skilled workers from someplace.."

Well, I'm glad you're not making excuses for the illegals, and you are almost correct when you say we need "low-skilled" workers.

Please be aware that our tax money has been subsidizing higher education, and why do we need all these folks receiving bachelor degrees anyway? Let 'em work for their education, they'll appreciate it all the more.

Furthermore, the idea of minimum wage has eliminated much of the early training for young folks breaking into the job market.

In short; our government's policies have been creating the very conditions we are now lamenting.

Then there is the welfare state phenomenon; this country has set up many incentives for illegals to come here. Everything in the U.S. "free" or so it seems.

We can thank our own government for all of it.
