Agree. People don’t want to hear it but a lot of the illegals are doing jobs that Americans don’t want to do anymore. Not sure how many illegals are working here. But most employers would prefer to hire Americans if they could. Reality, some of the lower paying jobs Americans aren’t willing to do, and a lot of Americans don’t need to. Just the way it is.
Tell me something. How do you square your personal belief that Americans don’t want to do the work illegals are doing with the fact that when the illegals left Alabama, the employers put out calls for workers and had applicants for days?
Whether you care or not, there are people who have been put out of work by illegals. They are American citizens just like you. At least I think you’re an American citizen. Americans have a right to work in this country. Illegals don’t. They are job stealers and your opinion of the situation does not change that fact.
Perry is saying we should place illegals above our own citizens. Perry should go run for president of Mexico.
“Agree. People don’t want to hear it but a lot of the illegals are doing jobs that Americans don’t want to do anymore. “
Perhaps it’s time we ‘encourage’ Americans to do that type of work again. For a start, there are thousands and thousands of people around the country at these “Occupy” rallies. Perhaps we give them some kind of break on their student loans if they actually try working for a living. If that doesn’t work, we have millions of Welfare Queens. They could help out too. And millions of prisoners. If they don’t want to work, they starve - that simple.
Right. That’s why the well-paying construction industry is filled with illegals. During Hurricane Katrina cleanup, American crews went down to work, and were turned away so that illegals could work. With so little construction being done now, Americans have all but been driven out completely.
