Next time you stay at a hotel, look who is cleaning the rooms, making the beds, and washing the floors. Mostly latinos, legal or not. They work the jobs the American "poor" don't want to work. These jobs aren't good enough, apparently, for the "poor" in our country. So we reward our "poor" for not working by providing unending assistance that requires nothing in return. The latinos want to work and take care of their families. They band together to help one another. They do not depend on government handouts like the "poor" in America. Blaming illegal immigrants for the increase in our poverty level is wrong.
Google search results for "illegal immigrants" +poverty.
You are full of BS. In this area and in many others amercian poor work the jobs in hotels and do the yard work and work the farms,there are not illegals or legals to do the work and drive down the wages so americans do them. More would do it in all areas if they could get hired, but employers hire the illegals who will work for less under the table. This crap about doing the jobs americans won't do doesn't fly anymore, it simply isn't true.
If they want "work" so bad then why are we spending billions after billions in feeding, housing and medicating them? Take some time to study this problem and you'll see that many work for wages that cannot meet living expenses in this country.....that's why so many employers gleefully hire them because they know these new employees can be paid substandard $ and the taxpayers are forced to subsidize the rest of the living expenses......and these same employers now get to EVADE numerous payroll taxes in the meantime......whatta deal, this is the perfect recipe for national suicide and it's progressing very nicely.
Illegal aliens do indeed take jobs which Americans want. They now make up the majority of fast food workers. Those are the jobs teenagers take to learn job skills. Non English speakers stink at fast food.
Can we blame Mexico? They have resources. Why have they produced so many people who are stunted physically and educationally?

Nonsense.
Try and get a job like that, as a caucasian. Go ahead, i dare you.
Yeah, and by having an endless stream of people who come here illegally, willing to work those jobs for next to nothing, they depress the wages in those jobs and make them unattractive for our poor to take. It makes no sense to take a job paying mimumum or less wage and lose welfare benefits, where it might make sense to take the same job for 9 or 10 dollars an hour.
Somehow I suspect you don't travel much through Eastcoast (or any region) cities much, or you would see with your own eyes the blocks and unending blocks of Mexican/Latino immigrants, most illegal.
Police departments spend much of their time battling Latino?mexican gangs (no english), Latino?Mexican drug rings, and domestic calls to apartments stuffed with four families per apartments, none of which speak english and none of which has any legal means of support.(most work under the table for cash, a near certain sign of an illegal immigrant.)
Yes, many well intending Latino's take menial jobs that Americans don't want, but this country is stuffed to the gills with more than enough illegals already to fill those jobs.
Even the once tranquil suburbs are quickly becoming over-run by transient illegal immigrants, forcing schools and police depts. to outsource and hire people that can speak Spanish during emergency situations.
I feel compassion for everyone and wish everyone well.
But our once great melting pot country is overwhelmed with illegal Latino immigrants, and just as in cooking, too much of any one ingredient causes problems.
We must find a way to return these people to their home country, hopefully for proper processing.
To do anything less will only encourage additional waves and waves of more illegals, and that I fear will threaten our law abiding Eurocentric tranquility, which is one of the very reasons our country is so successful in the first place.
on one hand your right, welfare makes it too easy for the poor to live. They can own a house, have a color TV, Cable, Expensive tennis shoes. But then the illegals will only work this hard as long as they are illegal. Give them amnesty and they will end up on welfare.
Americans generally don't go on welfare. At one point 51% of welfare users were foreign born though they made up 4%of the population.In San Diego Hispanics make up between 20%and 25%of the poulation but 40% of welfare cases. Blacks on the other hand make jup 7%of the population but only $%of the welfare cases. You do the math. You go to any public housing project in Los Angeles and Hispanics make up approximately 95% percent of the residents.
