I'll be working. Wait until the illegals get organised then the feds and military will have too easy a task in catching all of them and deporting them by the bus, trailer and trainload!! Adios Amigos y Aimgas!! All ABOARD!!!\n\nOh, and watch the headlines Tuesday noting the extremely large want ad sections from all the companies looking for new employees!!

"Who, else is gonna help bring the crops in at 4.00 an hour and not complain? "  Since minimum wage is $5.15/hour, the farmers are breaking the law.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\nIf you go to a country and refuse to assimilate, continuing to speak your own language then you are really not an immigrant -- you're a colonist ... and that's what the Mexicans are doing, they're colonizing the American Southwest as part of their "reconquista" Read about mecha in the link I provided and you'll see what the Mexicans real agenda is.\n\nhttp://www.americanpatrol.com/MECHA/MEChAindex.html

LOL at the 1st response.  I can promise that I am going to go to Wal-mart and there will still be an overwhelming percentage of Mexicans in there...speaking Spanish and not English...so that we all have to guess what or who they are talking about.  I don't see it really impacting our economics...what I see it doing is causing a rift between races.  Illegals shouldn't even have the right to plan anything that will do anything to America...they are not from here, nor are they legally here! And for the idiots that said something about Taco Bell being Mexican and if Mexicans weren't here, we wouldn't have it...check your facts! Taco Bell is not Mexican, not owned by Mexicans and has nothing to do with Mexico.

I wish I knew why myself. Our economy is in the crapper and the people that live here now cant even find jobs and now we have all these people from different countries wanting to come here and take what jobs we have. And half the time these people that come here do not like America or Americans and bad mouth us every chance they get but they have no problem taking our money. Then they either send the money back to people in their countries or once a year go back to their countries to spend their money there instead of here where they made it and help our economy. Thats why I try to stay away from foreign owned stores and such and try to buy only from Americans.And Im not talking race. As long as they are American I dont care what color they are.

First it is considered rude to type in all caps..........Second...........Illegal immigrants DO NOT just take the lower waged jobs. They take jobs in the construction field, plumbing field, roofing field, food service field etc. They work for less money in these fields than an American will, so they are getting hired over Americans. Americans are NOT too lazy to work the lower waged jobs, but they are too smart to work for the sub-standard wages that the Illegal Immigrants will work for because they can't stand up for themselves and demand better wages. I have had family members who did work the orchards, fields and rice fields, but they lost their jobs because the owners could hire Illegal Immigrants for less money.\n\nYou can claim they aren't Illegal that they are human, but they are still Illegally entering OUR country and taking work and other resources away from Americans. Which makes them Illegal Immigrant humans! This has nothing to do with Iraq, so that argument is ridiculous. \n\n\nQuinn..........You're right, an American won't work for "Crap Wages", but if the Illegal Immigrants weren't here these companies would be forced to pay decent wages. I am so sick of people claiming Americans won't work any job that isn't in an air conditioned office, pushing around a pencil. We aren't lazy and we aren't afraid of hard work, but we do expect to be paid a decent wage for any job we take. Thanks to Illegal Immigrants these companies won't hire Americans because they can pay slave wages to the Illegal Immigrants.\n\n\nmaat...........There is no job that is "beneath" an American! My father has worked for 35 years as a Mail Carrier, fighting the weather, crazy people, traffic, horrible working conditions and dogs. He works 6 days a week, 10-12 hours a day just to make ends meet. Don't give me the crap that Americans don't or won't work long hours in the sun! My father has worked in the snow in Illinois and the hot sun in California and the winter rains in California. You are right that we won't work for the "Crap Wages" though. The companies who hire the Illegal Immigrants would have to pay a decent wage if they couldn't hire the Illegal Immigrants instead. My family and friends have picked fruits and worked the rice fields and other fields and would do it again if the wages were decent. \n\n@--->---

None of them come for fun.   How fun is it to work in construction in the dead of summer, sweating your ass off for 10 hours a day? Sound fun to you? Or how about seeding someones lawn and cutting grass, and planting flowers out in the damn sun for 50 hours a week?  Wow that sounds like great fun to me!!!   Western Union is on fire, and has been since immigrants starting immigrating here years ago, know why? because that pay check the mexicans got on Monday tues wed thurs or friday is being wired to a bank in Mexico for their wifes, sisters, daughters, sons or grand children to pick it up.  Ever walked into a grocery store and saw Mexicans lined up at the customer service desk, they're sending their paychecks to mexico.  That's what they come here for.  Lets deport all mexicans shall we??  I guess you might as well not go out to dinner anywhere, forget Chili's, or Olive Garden or your favorite barbeque place, because if we deport them all, are you gonna go back there and make your dinner yourself? They make up all our restraunts, and those roads youre driving on to take you to work everyday, are being paved by  hard working mexicans because no fat lazy ass american wants to slave out in the hot sun for hours on end.    Granted, there's your stereotype mexican, who stares at women, and says things in spanish that you don't understand, but not every mexican is like that.  They honestly come here to make a living and LEAVE.  They dont' want to stay here.  This is foreign to them.   it takes time to save up money, and most of them work 40+hours a week.   Know why restraunts keep hiring mexicans even tho they are threatened every week by the immigration office, because they come to work, and on time, and work their butts off... Did you know that only 20% of americans come to work on time everyday of the week?  Yeah, 20% out of how many millions? I'm not a mexican advocate, I'm just saying, I've been witnessed to what is going on in america and how mexicans are treated, and americans are so SCARED they're gonna come and take their jobs.  Give me a break, have you seen an illegal alien becoming a lawyer, or a doctor... please...  they take the jobs we DONT WANT..so whats the big deal?  Let them come and make some money for their families.  More americans are on welfare than anywhere else, because they don't want to work.  So you hate Mexicans for wanting to make a better life?   \n\nDo you know what it costs to become a LEGAL resident of the United States? Thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about getting a green card and working a job part time and then coming back to Mexico, I'm saying... actually applying at the immigration department, and waiting..not to mention it takes up to 10 years to even get an answer. You all need to read up on your facts. Would you want to wait 10 years to get citizenship, would your kids wait 10 years to eat, because you couldn't get decent money in the country you're living in? They come here for the money. Not to take over our jobs, homes, and land. Get a clue.\n\nFrankly, I could care less. If we become a minority, so be it. Mexicans work harder, and longer than any white folk. I'm white, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't do half the jobs that mexicans do, for 3 bucks an hour. If you want something done, and DONE right, and not half-assed, then hire a mexican. They are always on time, they always put in more than required, and they always do a great job. Of course there's very few of them, that don't do a good job.. which is like a good portion of americans ( unemployment line is proof enough ). The way I look at it is.. If we can send troops over to IRAQ to make their government more civilized and feed other countries, etc... and all the lovely things we do for 3rd world countries, then by god we should go over to Mexico, and assist them with getting the mexican residents in mexico higher paying jobs. Their jobs over t

A DAY WITHOUT AMERICANS ! April 17, 2006! \n\nIn response to the recent mass national rallies fearlessly staged by the illegal alien lobby, The Dustin Inman Society is suggesting that Americans nationwide stay home from work and not spend any money on April 17. 2006 - income tax day. \n\n\nAPRIL 17, 2006 LEGAL Americans are being asked to stay home from work and not spend any money that day! Protest ILLEGAL aliens, their boycotts and marches, their taking of jobs, resources, welfare, healthcare, disobediance and defiance of American laws. Show congress that they may ignore our emails and phone calls, but we won't remain ignored! \n\nSupported by Americans for Legal Immigration \n\nhttp://alipac.us/ftopict-20151.html

We should, and a large fine, or even shut the business down. Then also fine those renting to illegal immigrants. No work, no place to live, they must then go back home.

we the people are to blame. We don't stand up for our rights as americans any more. We don't insist that our factories stay in america. We complain about gas prices and inflation but don't do a thing to try and change it. We let illegal immigrants take our jobs because we are to lazy to do it. We as a nation have become ignorant and lazy and it won't get better until we all wake up. We are a nation of lazy pot smokers who want every thing handed to us and not do a single thing to earn it.

Listen up people and listen good. Illegal immigrants are not "draining the system" or "taking advantage" of the system!\n\nThe US Economy benefits from immigrants illegal or not! Why because the business's that hires them knows that the papers they have are fake but, they hire them anyways. These places use fake social security numbers and then takes taxes out the the illegal immigrants pay. Taxes help out America. \n\nIn turn, the illegal immigrants buy goods and services in this country which of course helps out the GNP. Also, Illegal immigrants and legal immigrants CANNOT even qualify for public assistance because they are not citizens. Illegal immigrants don't want to apply or use public resources because they don't want to get caught and deported. \n\nThose of you idiots out there who believe other wise need to get your heads out of your ass. Stop watching Fox News or CNN as your sole source of information and stop being a minon of the right wing. Left wingers also have to step off their high horse that laws need to be enforced and also realize that their are problems with illegal immigrants too. Some of them are scum that run drugs and committ crime and these people need to be deported or locked up.\n\nImmigrants legal or not made America a great country and immigrants work the jobs that most Amercian born or immigrants who have been here awhile would refuse to do. \nDon't be an idiot and scape-goat all immigrants as evil that will consume America. Our own greed and the selfish rich ass holes that are in the White House are the ones fucking up this country not illegal immigrants.

Where I work, anyone not showing up on Monday, will not have a job on Tuesday.  I love it.  You want to live here and get all the American rights, act like one.  If not please go home.

This is not about Americans not wanting to do these jobs, it's about employers not wanting to pay the expected wage. This is exactly what the government has been ignoring for so long and now that immigration is out of control, they want to make the indocumented take the rap for lawbreaking employers. If there is a demand, the supply chain will be there. We are talking economics, not racism nor humanitarian rights.

Are you still Talking the "JOBS AMERICANS WONT DO" Bullshit.I like millions of other poor americans have done the very work people claim only immigrants do.Ive always done what i has too, to put a roof over my head and food on my table.Yet ive actually worked for less and payed taxes on less wages.Have you ever seen what happens to a $200 check after taxes? I have.It works out to be less than the cash jobs alot of illegals do.Are you blind or do you not even realize there is such a thing as "Poor Americans"

There Are 300 Million People In This Nation That Go To School And Work And Shop And Buy Gas And Groceries EVERYDAY\n\nIf 15 Or So Million Of Them Take The Day Off And "BOYCOTT" The Nation, I Dont Think It Will Have Much Impact, If ANY At All\n\nLet Em Boycott For A Day, OR A Week\n\nThis Is AMERICA Not MEXICO\n(Maybe The Wheels Would Fall Off The Wagons THERE, But Not Here)\n\nThey Can Boycott Their ILLEGAL @$$ES All The Way Back To The Border

YES I DO. This is MY protest.\n\nFirst of all, do they really think that it will make any difference at all? It won't. In order to actually make a noticible dent in the economy, they would have to hold out a heck of a lot longer than 24 hours...and I just really don't see that happening. Second of all, where do they get off? Nowhere else but in America could someone protest, throw a fit and expect someone to make allowances for the fact that they have, in fact, broken the law. There are legal ways to enter this country, they could have chosen one of them and then there wouldn't be this problem. However, they chose not to obey the laws of this country and, in my opinion, they need to be held accountable for their lawlessness. \n\nIf we allow all these illegal immigrants amnesty, what message does that send to all the immigrants who entered this country legally, who paid their dues and did things according to the rules? Gee, we're sorry we put you through all that because our laws are completely meaningless and we're going to give amnesty to everyone who decided they didn't want to be bothered with the pesky rules? What next, are we going to allow all mass murderers to run free because, hey, if you can break one law, why not all of them. What if all the rapists in every maximum security prison across the country stage a protest demanding their freedom? Why have any rules and laws at all if they can just be arbitrarily changed to exonorate a group of people just because they protest and demand it?\n\nI understand that the people coming here illegally are desperate and in dire circumstances, I don't doubt that at all. However, as someone who grew up in dire circumstances myself (yes, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry for weeks on end, to not have heat in the winter and to face the uncertainty of whether or not you're going to have a roof over your head), I still believe that breaking the law is unacceptable. That doesn't mean that I don't understand the motivation behind it, but it is what it is. After all, we have hundreds of thousands of legal American citizens who are homeless, who are hungry, who are in desperate situations and who are crying for an opportunity to support their families. However, should one of these people choose to rob a bank or sell drugs in an attempt to support their family, we don't see protests in the streets to exonorate them of their crimes. We may understand the motivation behind their actions, but the truth is that they've broken the law, regardless of the reasons/circumstances and in this country, there are consequences for breaking the law. If there aren't, then what's the point of even having a legal system?\n\nCome here legally and I don't have a problem with it. Come here from whatever country, make a life for yourself, send your kids to college, make yourself a millionaire, win the lottery, start a fortune 500 company. I. DON'T. CARE. That's the sort of thing that this country was built on. I, myself, have relatives who immigrated to this country legally and who have been very successful in building their lives and their fortunes. Great for them! Certainly there are those who are racist, but don't make this a racial thing, that's the easy cop-out.

I'm sick of that race card too!!!  It's not that Americans won't do those jobs, it's just that they won't do them for as little money (which they shouldn't).  The reason that illegals work for so little is because they are illegal.  I'm sure that if you offered those jobs to homeless and unemployed Americans that they would accept.  And if they refuse to do that kind of work.... let them be homeless without any social services then.
