Let me dispell a myth for you real quick.

Concerning the lie that they are doing jobs American will not do is HOGWASH!!

Remember a time way back when during the Great Depression in which AMERICANS were scraping for work? I am here to tell you now if I without work in my profession do not think for ONE minute second that I would not mow a lawn or hit the local fast food joint to take care of my family! You are putting an American OUT OF WORK by your logic and are the primary reason why myths and lies concerning immigration prevail. They DO NOT PAY TAXES (Fact). WE PAY their healthcare costs (Fact). Next time you complain that your healthcare costs are being driven and your taxes are rising lust look to your front yard and then you will discover why this is! Read my links you may find them interesting!

Allow me to shoot an arrow of logic in your doomsday scenario: The problems you are describing are not the fault of healthy adults who are willing to work (such as yourself -I commend you - I'd be right there beside you mowing that lawn). The problem you describe is a direct result of the welfare state that has been allowed to fester in this country. Long before the current immigration boom, there were plenty of able-bodied Americans who prefered to suck off the government tit rather than go out an earn for themselves. That, of course, is what spurred immigration in the first place.

Place a newspaper ad for a dishwasher for your restaurant, and tell me how many unemployed programmers respond.
