If Americans would take these jobs, menial as they are, we wouldn't have to employ illegals. Many kids don't want to or have to work and unemployment benefits keep adults who need jobs from having to take menial jobs. No wonder illegals have jobs. Come on, Americans, quit being so prideful. Work two jobs if you have to support your family.

Hitlery says, "...if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done..."

I really hate this strawman argument. Believe me, if the undesirable jobs were really needed, and only legal citizens were available to fill those job slots, they'd be filled. Then, watch the free-market system work to adjust pay scales and product costs.

"...we wouldn't have to employ illegals."

It is breaking the law to employ an illegal alien.
