Who In america is willing to take the mexicans place?

Well the farmer should pick his crop after all he planted it.

Well the trash we have people in prison that could do that, and it would get them out of prison for a while.

menial task - we have a lot of unskilled/substance abuse Americans that are rehabbing that need that type of job to get started or felons that can't get a job it could be a fresh start for them

Why would we want the Mexicans to work for below minimum wage that is already slave wages

See if we get creative we can help our fellow Americans, I would hate to know I ate fruit that was picked by a person working for slave wages, why would I want that, why would their government and people not care for them

The only people that benefit from the Mexican slaves are the business owners, why would they want their workers that are helping them get rich want them to live a sub-standard life

Wher did you get the idea that that is the only jobs they do? Is it necessary for all these little jobs be done. At what price? Sell American Citizenship when all they care about is a job. If thery cared about more than that, would they not stay a home & do something about that mess they call a country? Why not a regulsted worker program? One that would punish greatly, anyone caught cheating them on their wages, taking bribes from them to get the job & with the understanding that is it shitsville if you get caught here outside of the program. How about employeers that hire with knowlege & out following hire rules, do a little jailtime? Say like a year. Mighjt cost you a little more at dinner time & there might not be a fast food place so close to you antmore, because there are not as many as before. BUt the n what is wron with importing more food from there than we do now? Talk about job creation! O1 Sorry forgot about the claims of so called farmers that say they will give jobs no matter what the law states. I mean hell we might all have to clean our own houses. Could give the kids something to do besides TV. Don't tell me we can't survive. Might come down to survival of the fittest in business, but what did you do before so many of them got here. I know for one the % going to taxes out of my paycheck was a whole lot less. People had more respect for each other, visitors from elsewhere use to be that way. & Congress use to be concerned with the citizens of this country & their problems. Next thing you know Congress will hold dual citizenship so that when they are no longer elgible to run for office here they have a place to continue their careers

You made a point and that is the whole point working below minimum wages and they are being treated unfairly if they are doing those jobs for under minimum wage so how can you justify what you just said the whole point is that americans do not want the jobs because they should be paying minimum wage it is the law that is why illegals should not be doing those jobs either. The whole point is that we want all businesses to pay minimum wage not below minimum wage and they are enslaving the illegals when they do that how can you forget slavery it was done away with a long time ago and I for one am not going to keep condoning it. Anyone who works in America should get minimum wage even the illegals if they are going to work here, how can you even think about paying them less they are human too just because they agree to work for less doesn't make it right. You miss the whole point altogether. Am,ericans want the jobs they just don't want to work for less than minimum wage the jobs you mentioned are very hard jobs and no one wants to be a slave to their employer and I do not see what is wrong with that and illegals should not be made as slaves either and you try to make it ok by saying americans don't want the jobs and illegals will do it for less then you are the problem not the solution to the problem, it sounds to me like you support slavery.

Prisons should be for violent criminals only. All other criminals should:

pick tomatoes, and citrus fruit, pick up trash along our roadways, bale pine straw and the numerous other menial tasks

Its not just mexicans out there, theres people from all over the world here, dont you see who picks the strawberries? Im mexican, and i was 13 yrs old when i had to go and work in the fields, ive been here for 17 yrs. Now im a bookkeeper! I dont have nothing against anybody, bad people make our race look bad, we are not the only ones that get welfare, or homeless.

Once again illegal alien loving trash needs to chime in. Take you average 6.00 dollar an hour illegal alien job. Now factor in that they pay no tax on that. Now factor in that the hospitalization they require is paid for due to EMTALA act. Which requires anyone who goes to an ER no matter what the trouble get service, regardless of the severity. I know that where I work I pay 200 AMERICAN dollars a month and my company pay the other 700 a month. Add another $5.63 an hour there. Now lets educate thier ANCHOR babies. I'll bet I lost your uniformed ***, anyhow...add another1.50 an hour. now that low paying job is well over 10 dollars an hour. Now since they dont have a license to drive, add another .50 an hour for not having to insure thier nice new car. Not so low paying of a job anymore.

I lost a leg and girlfriend has brain damage from illegals that disobeyed traffic laws, insurance laws, licensing laws, and ran us over while we were on a motorcycle. They fled the scene, leaving us to die. They work for a large grower, who knows how to manipulate the law. Only the driver was charged after a manhunt caught them all. cost him $1500. to bond out and remain an illgal. And yes once again, my tax dollars paid for his public defender.

So maybe you will get a nice increase in your insurance premiums to pay for my $800,000 in medical bills, which will no end up ruining my credit?

I hope you donate all your salary to charity. I buy bullets to shoot people who commit illegal acts which I feel threatened by. After all, I am handicapped because of six of them.

Maybe we will all get lucky and one will rape someone in your family, or even you, then bond out and continue with thier fugitive life in the good old USA.

And Yahoo, if you block my link to sources that enlighten the people, like the sources space asks for, I will consider it a violation of my first amendment rights, and contact the ACLU and my attorney.

All you illegal lovers read what EDUCATED doctors have to say about this problem. I hope you share your illegal loving views with them prior to your next colonoscopy

How many illegal aliens are willing to follow our immigration laws, pay taxes, vote, serve on juries or serve in the military?

Jobs and civic duties that most illegal aliens cannot or will not do because they are unable to because of their status as criminals to begin with are done by Americans on a daily basis.

Each day, 260+ million Americans follow our basic laws and do not resort to breaking them for their pay as well as pay all taxes prescribed by our tax code.

Please. If the dishes don't get washed and the lawns don't get mowed, I'll think we'll make it through the "crisis". We're talking about people who are here ILLEGALLY. They broke the law when they climbed the fence. What would happen if eleven million of us crossed the border in the other direction? There's an idea...

Believe me, all that work will be done. We have many ways of doing it that would cost us nothing, such as, making welfare recipients work and our prison system is full of people just sitting around. Chain gangs need to come back.

many american started out that way. doing jobs nobody else wanted to do. They worked there way into american society.

It wasn't handed to them. many immigrants started this way.
