Are illeagal mexicans stealing your jobs?

No....And I think those lower skilled workers who can't find work is because they aren't willing to work for lower wages, and I can't say I blame them, its tough to survive in this country with a low wage.....We are used to a higher standard of living, especially in the US....But if I was coming from a third world country, where I was earning $8 a day, even earning minimum wage in this country would be a fortune....

They're stealing jobs from those that work at the lower end of the economic spectrum such as beginning jobs for American teenagers.

Bottom line is that they not only steal jobs. They steal from the entire system.

ask the millions of poor Americans, but they wouldnt be on here because they don't have the internet, but if illegals went home, they'd have jobs

No - America's Republicans have moved them (jobs) overseas - for better profits - but, they (immigrants) will run the machines that mass produce they few things we still make here for less money than us - so quit crying, being lazy, and start you're own business, we need to compete with China, India and the other countries where the jobs went to.

um... aren't Americans the one who get to choose their employees also? So, why are lower class people blaming on mexicans instead of themselves for this? I tell you why. Because they're hopelessly blind.

No, illegal or not, my qualifications are uniquely mine, i apply like everyone else and i take the wages offered.
i am legal, i work hard, i am loyal. i fear no one.
i treat others as i would like to be treated, i respect others and wish them a chance to support their family, just as i support mine. That is the American dream. ( If only workers were paid more evenly)

Yep. I am in Wayne County, Ohio, and I have a friend in the next county over, Stark County, who says that it's a huge problem over there.

No they are not. Americans do not want the jobs which Hispanics are taking. Why shouldn't they have access to the jobs? Americans are spoiled, whereas they are not. They also make good hard workers.

Nope

If i could steal a job, I would be the CEO of Nike.

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. America love it or leave it. Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Leave it Now. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

No, not my job.

If an illegal alien stole my job !!

Damn !! I should check myself out !! I must be doing something wrong.

How could someone less educated than me, without proper documentation and not knowing english can do the job better than me ?? are you sure you're doing a good job ? Some people will pay anything for a good service, but if you dont give the client more than what they expect and they see they can get the same deal cheaper ... well , of course hes gonna go away. Weather is an employer or a client.

For one thing they are keeping the minimum wage limit low, they act like they will do it for nothing, but they are already demanding higher wages themselves for the companies who are sending their work else where. If the corps are going to be greedy enough to try to get by without paying decent wages then the people who took those jobs and the corps can pay the price.

choux pastry heart

only as much as the illegal canadians and the refugees from war torn countries. if it weren't for immigrants america would not exist. the founders of this country were immigrants, we weren't natives, we pushed the native's off of their own land. we are just looking for another minority to discriminate against the way we did w/the blacks, indians, irish, asians, etc.

Millie

What part of word " i l l e g a l " you are not able to understand??

george w

why does it matter , we are the idiots letting them come over here and take our jobs, most true americans are either too lazy or strung out on dope to want to work, it is easier for them to steal from the honest working folk , therefore we have not put a stop to ILLEGALS because they work and for less,Yes it pisses me off to , and I wish our border patrol would shoot more of em, not shoot ot kill , but to let em know we mean business

JUSTME

Yes, I used to clean for an agency for $15.00 an hour. They have the illegals doing it now for $7.00. I can't live on that.

BL13

cheesehead with an attitude
