Oh man, here we go again. I get tired of telling this story, but evidently there are still so many people who believe the PC lie you expressed above, that I have to relate my own personal experiences with illegal scumbag aliens and the jobs they take.
Last year, I worked for a suburban DC telecom company that employed about 15-20 illegal scumbag aliens. I, and the other Americans (and even one Candaian who had come here legally) on the crew were getting anywhere from $18-25 an hour, while the scumbag illegals were getting $8-10 an hour on 1099s. I shared an apartment with one of them while on the road for a project in New York, and got very tired of him bragging about how he didn't pay taxes. He bragged that he, and the rest of his scumbag illegal Mexican and Central American aliens back in DC paid $400 each for fake documents. He was driving a beat-up POS pickup that looked like it was right off the streets of Nogales or TJ, and of course, had no insurance. While we were up there, he moved his girlfriend into his room in our apartment, and was talking about bringing up her two brothers, also, so they could get jobs locally, and they could have a good ol' illegal alien time all in one room! This was the straw that broke the camel's back, so I spoke up to the boss, got fired and called the INS. Any guesses as to how far that investigation's gotten?
Each one of those criminal scumbag illegal aliens was taking a highly skilled , well-paying job away from an American, because the damn scumbag criminals who owned and ran the company saw them as a way to increase their bottom line. I'm as big a capitalist pig as anyone else on this forum, but when you break the law in the name of bigger profits, you deserve to be rounded up along with all the other illegal scumbags, be stripped of your citizenship, and deported.
So, the moral of this long rant is that illegal aliens take all types of jobs away from Americans, not just room cleaning, table bussing and strawberry picking jobs. We are being invaded, and making excuses like "but they're such hard workers" just helps them weaken this country that much more. It's time we all get good and friggin' PI**ED OFF and end this insanity before it becomes a nail in our nation's coffin!!
