EXACTLY THE POINT.....perfect question and antis know it, now that they are seeing theyre PROVING THEMSELVES WRONG....now theyre trying to say THATS NOT THE ISSUE....hahahahah......when thats the top reason they give on previous answers as why illegals are a problem
antis...do you seriously think we cant look at previous questions on this forum to see your lies .....
bookworm YES you just made our point !!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Immigrants are taking jobs Americans dont want to do, and employers are unable to pay anything higher to stay profitable |

Nope - but they do take my tax money and raise my costs for things like:
Education
Medical
Welfare
Housing
Energy costs
Food stamps
etc. etc. etc.
EDIT:
Dummy you are a DUMMY!!!
Taxes are not a choice - buying a tomato is a choice. The cost to me in higher taxes is something that I have no control over and is far, far more then the very small costs for a little extra labor costs in farm products. The labor cost is only a few cents for a tomato -I'd gladly pay a few more cents (even a lot more then that) if we didn't have to subsidize big business for their cheap (note I did not say inexpensive) labor. |

No. I own my own business so they haven't taken the jobs of anyone working for me either because I, of course, do not hire illegals.
DEPORT ILLEGALS NOW! |

All I know is Jobs like McDonald's,Burger King etc were for high school kids in the days on their summer vacation or when they were on spring break or even after school now those jobs go to illegal aliens ..Rarely now can I go to one of those establishments and the person who is taking my order speak English |

Yes. Of course, it was when I was much younger (and there weren't nearly so many illegals in the country). Now that I have a college degree, it's legal H1B visa holders who poach the jobs I'm after. While that's inconvenient, I don't have much grounds to object to it: thier employers are at least complying with the letter of the law. |

No, but they have filled the jobs our children take as first jobs during the summer school break.
Not to mention I eat at most of the places they have taken jobs and that kind of disgusts me!
There are American's who would take those jobs if they were available at an American rate. The only reason American's don't take the jobs they fill is because they have lowered the pay rate at those jobs with their cheap labor!
This isn't about them taking jobs anyhow!
This is about the gangs and crime rate, the driving insurance rate and the billions of lost tax dollars they cause through having anchor babies on American soil and collecting through welfare.
Their kids who are in gangs (90%) tag walls all over the U.S. which also cause millions in painting repairs. They lower the property value where ever they go.
What about the millions in medical like emergency room baby deliveries?
What about the millions in tax audits and investigation because of their identity theft and fake tax claiming through Social Security!
It isn't just about the jobs! |

Your name here, cheap.
|
Yes. Try getting a job as a carpenter or drywall hanger these days. Pay is less than half what it was while greedy contractors charge more for the jobs. |

False premise to the question- people aren't anti Immigration, they are anti ILLEGAL Imigration. I know you cats intentionally blur the lines to make it some racial issue or what have you but that doesnt change the fact that immigration is different than people jumping the border without permission. |

Yes. Had a house cleaning business employing several people. When the illegal criminal aliens invaded my area they undercut my prices and I was forced to let my people go and close my business down. |

Very good question. Actually I have had to compete and work alongside illegal aliens but its because I was totally unwilling to accept a dime from the gov't to buy milk or diapers for my kids.
But out of that I will tell you I was ALWAYS and without exception the only white guy on the shovel/broom/mop/toilet brush/pressure sprayer wand, back bent and as its sometimes said here in the south "workin' like a mexican".
But now, after college, my competition is other white people. And not just US born citizens all WASP males. |

An illegal alien cannot take my job, but I know that people in construction and other small businesses are being run over, because they cannot compete with the cheap labor of hiring illegals. |

Nope.
That is also not my objection to illegal immigration. |

You are ranting and raving All about opinions that Donot agree with your own!!!!!!!!! Grow up!!!!!!!! Get an education!!!!!!!!! Read the newspaper, and listen to the news!!!!! Better yet leave the country!!! WE would be better off without Greedy shitheads like you!!!
No, illegals have not taken a job that I ever wanted. They have taken jobs that I Needed to Put Food in my mouth!!!!!!! to give me Money for said food!!!!!!!!! jobs that I should have gotten because I was and am here LEGALLY but that they got because they were here ILLEGALLY!!!!!!!!! |

The jobs that are commonly done by illegal aliens were considered a right of passage in the workforce for students and teens. Those jobs,ie: mowing a neighbors lawn, fast food and the like were once done by Americans like myself in my youth. I do not compete with criminal illegal aliens anymore for those types of jobs, but i have and will continue to look out for the interests of the generations of Americans behind me that have lost that right of passage in the American workforce. You have proved MY point, that for supporters of illegal aliens and illegal aliens themselves it is all about them. I do not have to be in direct competition with an illegal alien to know that illegal immigration is wrong. |

It wouldn't bother me if Mexicans came here the LEGAL way, but most of them don't. I'm not anti-immigration, but I am anti-ILLEGAL immigration because my taxes go to give them a free life here in America.
No, no illegal has ever taken a job that I wanted. But then, I never wanted to scrub toilets or mow lawns. |

No. But then I've never worked for an employer who hires illegal aliens - only employers who require that all non-US citizen employees fulfil the I-9 requirements and can prove their legal status and employment authorisation in the US.
*edit* Oh... maybe I shouldn't have even answered this question, as it's addresed to 'anti-immigrationers'. As I'm an immigrant (a 100% legal one, thank you very much) myself, I can hardly be 'anti-immigration', and I probably don't qualify to answer. But I do know that my employers don't hire illegal immigrants. So... |

Is the country in this post racist?
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/060815a.aspx
All countries have the right to have immigration laws.
All countries have the right to enforce its borders.
And they don't have to explain WHY to you.
If you don't like laws, rules, and regulations, go live on a deserted island somewhere BY YOURSELF.
Because, like it or not, this is the year 2007, and WE DO have immigration laws. |

I speak for my daughter and some of her friends that are looking for work and a first job. The answer is YES.
They have applied at a number of fast food places to work. One of the questions they get asked is, "Are you bilingual?" They all put down no. They all got turned down for that reason.
Just why do you have to be bilingual to flip a burger, serve a soda or clean a table? The places do not want Americans who want higher pay and an easy job. They want illegals who will work for less and bust their butts so they do not get fired. They want illegals who will not complain about safety violations or not being paid over time. They want indentured servants. They want people they can pay under the counter so they can save not having to pay Social Security or Workman's Comp Insurance.
So yes, jobs are lost due to the illegals. They need to go home. |

First ! We are not against immigration ! Immigration is the legal migration of people from one country to another. Legal Immigration ! Second we aren't racist thats a word used to shut down intelligent debate on the subject. Be careful you aren't impeeding the free exchange of ideas by using that word. Your argument is all wrong. You need to have more respect for those who have waited and tried to get into this country legaly. They spend alot of money and wait for a long time to get here. Illegal immigration isn't really Immigration at all its an invasion. Millions of undocumented people flooding over our borders. Jobs ! Contractors in this area who follow the letter of the law reguarding employment are losing contracts to employers who hire illegals. But that is the very least of my worries ! Our very culture and our way of life is threatened. Diseases that were virtually destroyed 30 years ago are comming back. Illegals crossing the borders without proper immunizations are spreading diseases like TB.... Use your head man ! Its so much deeper than what your question covers. |

No, but because of them, 17 medical clinics in los angeles have been closed
the only way you couldnt be bothered by illegals is if you dont pay taxes
Get off your booty and earn a check for once! |

nope i have worked with a few mexicans and in my expirence they were great.
No the real issue is humanity. before you are American and they are Mexican we are all humans and desire the same thing in life. who are you to say nope you cant have it only because of where you were born!
Also if you really wanted to curb the illegal immigration would it not be much easier to crack down hard on the rich fat white guys who hire the illegals? if you remove the carrot they are less likely to cross illegally.
why not offer a trade for every fat american living off welfare more than 3 years we ship their lazyass to mexico for somone at least willing to work. those people have more effect on raising your taxes, welfare, free medical care etc as the illegal mexicans just because they were born on this side of the border they earn the right to be lazy??? . but at least the mexican is doing something constructive and trying to better themselves!!
I agree there is a political double standard. mexicans are called illegals. cubans are called refugees or defectors. it is a result of the cold war era relations with cuba the american government considers cuban defectors as a slap in castro's face and proudly put images of them on american tv for everyone to see and offer political anmesty instantly but in reality those cubans are just as illegal as the mexicans |

the reality is that they dont take jobs that educated american citizens do, is nto only fast food service, they do a lot of dirty jobs that americans dotn want to do, and there is still a lot of jobs, do you think most people get unemployment check because of illegals or because they are lazy? |
