I think that we're about to lose another industry: Roofing. This has been an American stronghold up until now, but I'm starting to see Mexicans infiltrating that field. Please, don't give many any profiling garbage. These people most likely don't speak English, and they are in the minority, yet they make up the extreme (98%) of these jobs. Only illegal activity could result in this type of scenerio

Classic immigrant story. They always take the physical labor jobs. In the 30's the Japanese were the landscapers in Southern California, they worked hard for their children and their children became doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.

Look landscaping and roofing aren't exactly "piece of cake" jobs that every American kid aspires for and it looks like the Mexicans are filling a niche, especially since Atlanta has boomed since 1990.

Oh, so those Americans who are forced out by lowered wages deserve this? From people who are NOT citizens and, thus, should not be here?

As another industry falls, you'll find higher welfare rolls among Americans, as well as the illegals who are making such low salaries with such huge families.

Thus, the connection equals the end of America.
