So you think the illegals do jobs American Citizens wouldn't?
Have you asked the inter city poor, the starving in rural Appalachia? Are all those construction jobs in Vegas low paying? You say we'd all pay higher prices ...aren't we doing that NOW with health care, taxes and increased crime? Doesn't America have the technology to "mechanize" the "big business farms? Or is it the small farmer that is being pushed out that is need of the cheap labor? We subsidize big business farms which drives up prices... we "GIVE" Mexico millions of dollars in "AID" why not use that to subsidize the low wages! What type job is next? Garbage men? Teachers?

What I see happening is this: the farmers..(or whomever) claim they are giving "low " paying jobs to illegals because no one else will take them, but now the illegals are claiming they want a decent wage! Also jobs we as Americans have been doing all along are now going to others that bid them at a lower price...taking away jobs we are currently doing. So no, I do not think they are doing jobs Americans won't.
No I don't. I think they do jobs that are dirty, and hard. Jobs that involve sweat and dirt. I think illegals are doing those jobs because American citizens have to many options that don't involve work at all.
I know of a town where a new factory was built. In an economically depressed area. The idea was to give the people in that area jobs. Their were people in that town that were in their thirties and had never held a paying job.
Within two months of the plant opening, most of the towns people had returned to sitting on the porch, swilling beer and drawing government assistance. And the company was paying to transport people into the town to work. The starting pay was well over minimum wage. One of the towns people actually admitted as much he said it wasn't that the work was hard or the pay too low. Its just that a job takes up too much of your time. He'd rather live a poorer life on government assistance than be tied down to a job all week. Should he have that option?
I think illegals do jobs that American businesss won't pay American wages to get done. The problem is not, and never has been the immigrants. They come here because there is opportunity...provided by Americans for them. The poor souls are trying to make their lives better and I don't blame them one bit. The problem is the people who hire and underpay the immigrants. How come immigrants find jobs but Americans can't? Because those hiring them are LOOKING for immigrants. The control factor is here in the U.S. Punish the companies and individuals that hire illegals with heavy and progressively heavier fines until it is no longer fiscally sensible to hire at lower wages and the opportunity goes away and so do the immigration problems.
The Truth of the Matter Is This: Law Firms Hired by businesses that employ illegals find loopholes in the Law and Intentionally DO NOT HIRE AMERICANS! Every American passed over for legitimate employment Should contact EEOC and sue every last one of them for discrimination because of their National origin as Americans! Regardelles of color, race or gender.
I know people who are electricians and work in construction or are truck drivers etc.. that were undercut in bidding by more than 1/2 of the regular pay scale. Unions in the Trades in Nevada will not guarantee Americans or Women employment, even after training and would rather use illegals for those jobs. The unions even sell Americans out and jeryrig tests to keep Americans out of work. So those are jobs Americans won't do?
Again if you take all the benefits they get free an add them to there wages there making $ 25 to $35 dollars tax free & the tax payers footing the bill>?So where is this cheap labor>?Only for the employer not the 1s that lost there jobs to the illegals>? As when there gone an the wages will come up we still have to pay for what they get free>>?Have a baby lately with out insurance there's is free, & get wefare an all they can take so best call your Senator an complain or you will have to have 2 jobs to support them>>?If they get to stay>>?
