Do you seriously believe that that illegal aliens are only "doing work that Americans won't?"?

Razor Jim

Just a made up slogan. If you look at the statistics, more illegals are doing factory work, construction and other jobs than than the small number picking fruit and veggies.

rlstaehle

They are taking construction jobs from citizens who are ready willing, and able to do the work. The reason they get the work is because, they do the work for less. More often than not, the work done is substandard.

They may be doing those menial jobs now, but once they , or their children get an American education they won't be doing those jobs- the new wave of illegals will.
The argument that their doing jobs Americans won't is 90% bull anyway. When I was a kid, I had my first paper route at 8!
(handed down from my brother) now newspaper people are adults delivering in cars. Kids should be able to have jobs if they want them. I'm sure kids could sell strawberries on the corner. Or mow lawns, or wash dishes, or learn to do housework, older kids could even be in the fields!
Mexicans have an agenda. And that is to capture the American dream. They just need to wait their turn to come here legally and in the mean time, deport the illegal ones.

Answer: To the question...A Resounding ... NO!
Addressing the details...You hit every relevant point precisely on the head!
I feel that you sugar coated the fact that it is in fact a State Sponsored Invasion of the Mexican government that is the problem...
But that is just ....the opinion of a growing number American Citizens!

No, and in fact I never did believe it. I do believe they drove the wages down on certain jobs by working for less than minimum wage.

I still see contractors having hand work to be done where they can't get the back hoe in go to various corners and bring back loads of Mexicans and supply them with picks, shovels, and substandard wages.

You will always have the element that argues "They are doing the jobs no one else will do" and "They are just trying to raise their standard of living." First argument has been answered quite well. As to the second, if they are coming here to get out of the way things are in Mexico, why do they bring it with? Ever been in a neighborhood with a large concentration of Mexicans? You might as well be in Mexico.

Of course I dont believe that. Before we were infested and invaded, our crops got picked, our lawns mowed, our buildings cleaned. Somehow it all happened. Americans did it, legal immigrants did it, teenagers did it.

And it can be again. Without the glut of the low skilled/low educated illegal alien workforce that works under the table for less than minimum wage (and without employer paid employment taxes), the surplus of labor will reduce, the wages will rise and our most vulnerable and disadvantaged americans can get back to work.

Green is the new RED!

No, I don't believe it for one second!

caciansp

The only work they seem to do is WORK THE SYSTEM.

What did the people of the USA do before ?

The midwest farmers ? ect... ect..?
The Graps of Wrath type of people ??

Joe Iwojima

You understand the problem as well as anyone I have read on this forum, thanks.

Vladblutsauger

The sad fact is that we've become far too dependent on illegal labor to put food on our tables. So, unfortunately, this assertion is half-true.

I said half, because when we get rid of the illegals, you don't honestly think Americans are just going to let themselves starve, do you? It may take a month or two, and wages will definitely have to be raised, but once the farmers learn that they can't abuse their new workers, food production will be back to stuff in no time.

willow woow

hell no! im a girl. at 18 i work my *** off on a horse farm shovling 30 stalls for 4.50 a hour for 1 1/2 yrs! oh im white too! so thats not true and besides who the hell did the work when the mexicans werent here? its just to justify the business owners to make more money thats all! and they dont pay into taxes when buying clothes and food! what about health care and having to have more police and also more room for schools, plus less attention goes to the amercian children when being taught. they have to slow done class because the mexican children are behind! its not the childrens faulth but it facts. i do feel sorry for them but there is a right way of going about it.

NO!

Ms.L.A.

It is the totally false mantra of the illegals! I often wonder how stupid the government thinks the average American truly is? They want their oil so badly that our government will sacrifce a lot of Americans to get it! But we the people will not allow that to become a reality. At last the silent majority has taken notice of the ridiculousness of our current politicians! Rich men with a personal agenda to become richer men.

Adrian N

Anyone with a basic understanding of supply & demand knows how ridiculous the whole "jobs Americans won't do" clap-trap is.

It wasn't that long ago that Americans WERE doing those jobs.

It's sad how many people buy into that spoon-fed globalist lie.

Ludd Zarko

Well, you found him, bubbles

afmooseluvrx3

we are pretty lazy & obese.

Miss Delanne

I do believe that, but I do not think that it makes it ok for illegals to be in our country in such large numbers. I firmly believe that we should remove all of the illegals and force all the countries able bodies welfare leeches to do those menial jobs to earn their welfare handouts and food stamps. They should be made to sink or swim like all of us hard working middle class who bust our hienies for mediocre pay to support our children.
