Americana's Won't  Do What Jobs???????????????
371777
The only job that I would say Americans don't do rather wouldn't do is the operate one of those Ice Cream trucks that drive around in some neighbors in the summertime. But, then Mexicans won't do that either. \nThose jobs I don't believe would be much of an impact on American workers. \nSome other answers were rather interesting.\nI would say Americana's won't do etc etc what ever that job is. \nI think Republican racist is probably a volunteer job,so nobody is lining up for that one. \nA friends in Washington DC said there was a long waiting list for hiring Raving lunatic that is a demand job. That is all I could think of.

Funny it is all us "lazy Americans" that did all those jobs before! Hmm yea I beleive its all the LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and born Americans that created this "land of Milk and honey" that the illegals run to. \n\nBush has made sure our economy has stayed rock bottom , media lies about new jobs being created when they are merely seasonal jobs or fast food. Starve them and they will come, is and has been his tactic. So our young people are forced to join the military to fight this b.s. war and run our countries debt up more. Were else will they work? \n\nTHERE ARE NO JOBS! Illegal immagrants around here are working at Taco Bell! Gas stations, Wendy's, road construction, housing construction, cleaning services, day care! We cant get government aid for ourselves and our children when we can not find any work. We can not even get a Taco Bell job now! I have dozens of friends who have built houses all over this state all their lives, and now are lucky to work one or two months a year cause illegals have their jobs. Was it because they didn't want them? NO, as a matter of fact no one even waited to ask them if they did or not. They show up for work after the ground thraws and are told to go home. And yes for the sake our kids we would work it!!! And have been for years. The truth of the matter is there are large numbers of Americans in their 30's and 40's with hs diplomia's and many with college that cannot find work now. Job statistics are and have been manipulated (lied) about for some time.\n\nThe Illegals do not come into this country and stay on the tomatoe farms... They run to any employer who will take them, and send there women to the welfare office for government aid. Destroy a large percentage of rental properties, Sell some mexican swag on the side and do not go home after harvest time in most situations. Why should they? We hand them the keys to the city! \n\nWe spend billions on medical care, food, housing, prisons. They send all their money back to Mexico. Lower our wages and work standards and are now filling job slots we Americans need, now that all American jobs worth a damn are now "outsourced" or "sized down". How can you use someone who illegaly came over here knowing all this? They arent forced to illegaly jump our boarders and come here to work. Hell they can grow tomatoes in mexico too. And do! Most of our winter produce is now Mexican grown in Mexico. Hell they now have handbooks on how to survive in America now, it's printed by the Mexican government. Very few of their employers legally withhold taxes or SS. Most are contractor type jobs. And it's time a few of you get your heads out of the clouds, cause this whole situation has been corrupt for some time. We don't abuse and use them, corrupt employers might. The illegals think what they are being offered is great! And that is why the employers also need to be punished and fined. \n\nThey come here Illegally and expect we owe them food stamps and medical care! Do we get this when visiting their countries? Hell no! Everywhere the American goes now we have "sucker" on our forheads. We can pay for it all! Lower their import taxes into our country or remove them all together. Send them food that our government won't even give to our poor, send them weapons and training. Yea we can do it all ! Now they have the nerve to march in our streets with their country's flags! Demanding they have rights here and the right to come here by whatever means they choose and act as they choose. The problem has been let to go on so long, and catered to for so long they now seem to think they are intitialed to EVERYTHING WE HAVE INCLUDING PRESSURING OUR POLITICIANS! When was the last time you picked up a product or a set of instructions without having to search for the English text? \n\nIs this just directed towards Mexicans? NO, but what other country is flooding our boarders illegally and now marc

I am sorry finding a better paying job is so difficult for you...I am surprised you wanted to see everybodies opinion on this as I am sure you will get a lot of negative results....I love working with the hispanics I work with...they are all very nice and pleasant to be around....plus they always have really good food and are almost always willing to share....as far as their help where I work at....I don't think we would have a shift to run without them....but don't expect to many white people to say that they can relate to you...remember there are a load of redneck racists out there and well...they took/stole the land from the indians almost wiping out a whole race in the process....and then they enslaved the africans because they were to damn lazy to do their own work....sorry I wish things were different....I really do

I don't think so. Whose gonna do the unwanted jobs then? Easy for some people to say yes but they wouldn't dare do the jobs these people do. Did you ever think that some of these people came here legally to be able to support their families but majority of them ended up being abused by their employers so they ended up illegals? I have heard a lot of stories and verified them. Some of the bad things that happened to them were done by by our fellow Americans and you talk of having electric fences? What's the matter with you? I bet your ancestors would love to hear your comments when they came here as immigrants too. If they'd have known what the future generation would be maybe they would have aborted you.

I hope your business handling acumen is a whole lot better than your language ability. Are you asking: Are there any American businesses in St. Petersburg? or; Is it possible to have an American business operate there? or; Is it practical and could it be profitable to develop an American owned business there? or; Is it possible, even practical, to get the local people to invest in an American idea?

There might be lots of companies that hire illegals. But, Tyson has laid off Americans and hired ILLEGAL ALIENS to take their place. It was not jobs that Americans didn't want. Tyson just didn't want to pay what they deserve.  Other companies might do that, but Tyson went public in their support of  their taking over of America. Lets bankrupt Tyson, then, work our way through other companies. Eventually they will get the message !!!!

Ask the owners of transnational companies..... America is a mere puppet in their hands.....You are toooooo naive... and an idiot, indeed, to ask such a silly question...

Ahhh. I have written so much today, my hands are tired. alas, I come to a question i have so much to say about, but don't feel like typing it all out :) Yes, I'm a citizen and damn proud of it. last semester(i'm in college) I worked in the dishroom and served dinner in our school's cafeteria-style dining hall. Dishroom wasn't great, was very hot, humid, and the floor was very slippery. didn't smell too pleasant, and scraping baked-on cheese off of large pans was no fun, either. But to be honest, the job was made fun by my co-workers who similarly didn't care for the job but we made it fun together, ya know? two summers ago, I worked for the State DOT scraping road kill off the side of the road. now tell me THAT is a disgusting job. that job too was made fun by co-workers. I would say working for a hotel cleaning rooms or mopping lobby floors is at least a little more sanitary and enjoyable than shoveling roadkill carcasses, don't you? so if those are the kinds of jobs Americans won't do, am I a sac of potatoes? or worse-- an illegal Maria Chiquita? Thanks a BUNCH for bringing up the anchor baby part of the 14th Amendment, I made an argument the other day and reffered to that. right on. I like your posts and comments so far, I'm glad there are other Americans out there who are fed up with this problem like I am. It hits college students HARD if you're like me. last summer I tried applying to a Jack in the Box part time, guess what? no spots available. the guy at the register spoke no more English than my neighbors' 3 year old. I was pissed that they'd hire someone for customer service (hey come on, cashier is customer service) who spoke that little English, but whatever, it's fast food. hehe

As you suggest, we won't be able to buy lettuce because American workers simply won't do that type of work absent a wage that will make the price of lettuce vastly higher.\n\nI notice that here in East Texas the only workers you can find are Mexican. \n\nWhen I moved here and needed to clear a couple of acres of my land, the local poor white trash just wouldn't do it, even for the above minimum wage I was offering. \n\nSo I asked a Mexican American (a Texas born American citizen) to help me round up some workers. The (probably illegal) Mexicans he brought over were hard workers and happy to get $7 an hour (I'd offered whites $10 and they didn't want the work).\n\nSince then when I need anything done, from unskilled grunt work to skilled construction and auto repair, I rely on the Mexican workers I've gotten to know. They are honest and hard working. Nothing would get done in this state if it weren't for Mexicans.

no way. They have the rest of american call center jobs. Everytime I call my credit card companies I get an Arab who says her name is Jill and can't speak English. I understand why companies do this but it just sucks.

You know... I am an anglo... and I worked at a TV station in the southwest... I was very good at my job and after 6 months I was doing the job description of three people... I was so good... I went to the Manager of the TV station and spoke of the fact that my work was now way above my initial interview job duty description and that I was fulfilling the work of three people and I asked for a raise... do you know what he said... He said that if I was unhappy with my job and pay, I could quit... as they could get someone for less money to do my job.  So I gave notice and quit in two weeks... I went back to the TV station for a visit with my co-worker friends and I was told that they had to hire 3 people and pay them 3 full wages to do the same work that I did... I went to the Manager's office and said... I see that you had to hire and pay three wages to get my job responsibilities covered... and he said, Yea... he didn't realize how right I was... and that is the attitude of Managers in the southwest where Mexican help is available... they are cheap... and they are a threat to people who try to do a good job but don't get credit for it. Do you know that for $1000.00 a month you can live in a high class home with two servants, a cook and a maid and all your living cost paid for $1000.00 a month??? Check out the ratio of pesos to dollars and see...that is why Mexicans come to the US because they make money here to send home so that they can live like kings there and even have servants for their homes... Many Americans go to Mexico ro retire... as they can live like royalty there on their medimum anount of retirement income...

Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. \nWhat jobs won't Americans do? \nAmericans still \n--clean their own houses, \n--do their own landscaping, \n--clean hotel rooms, \n--work in restaurants and fast food places, \n--paint houses, \n--DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, \n--work in airports, etc. - I Can Go ON And On\njust like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. \nThere are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so ILLEGAL Aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers By FALSELY DEPRESSING The Wage Rates\n\n5 Percent Of Our Workforce Are ILLEGAL Aliens\nThe Unemployment Rate In The U.S. RIGHT NOW is 4.7 Percent\nLets Do The Math\nDEPORT The ILLEGAL Aliens\nUnemployment Drops To ZERO \n\nWithout illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. \nThe definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" \nThe study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products \n(which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), \nusing minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products \nby approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... \nhardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims. \n\nConsumers are NOT benefiting from lower labor costs. \nAgain, it's CEOs and business owners who benefit from taxpayer subsidies for their illegal alien workers. \nThe Big Three automakers say they moved so many jobs to Mexico because their labor costs are 80 percent less than in America. \nAnybody notice the price of new cars spiraling downward under NAFTA? I Havent\n\nIt is time we take back our country. This is a very real problem and we had better stand in unison against this threat to our national security.

If these companies weren't so greedy and always thinking about profits all the time...americans needs jobs, too.  The state in which I live in have offered some companies here very nice incentives for them to stay instead of moving operations to Mexico or somewhere where is are plenty of cheap labor.  There are too many greedy companies and corporations out there.  Seriously, what are they going to do with all that money?

I was born in Mexico.  I immigrated because my mother was a US citizen but not because she was my mother because Regan(R) Passed an Amnesty Law in 86.  Immigrants have a lot to contend with they really don't want to be in the middle of this argument.  They stayed in obscurity until someone in Washington decided what is best for the American people.  Well American people don't want to wash there own cars, or cook in restaurants or wash dishes or toilets.  If I can get my teenage boys to get a job this summer I'll be more than grateful.  We have become a selfish society and the only reason we don't like immigrants it's because they don't fit in to our name brand society.  They dress in what they can afford and wear their hair in last years fashion.  OMG hopefully we don't catch something.  What EVER!  Get over it America stop being so snooty.  Remember the immigrants that crosses Elise Island?  No body wanted the Jewess back then then the Irish.  It's the Mexicans turn.  Stop allowing history to repeat it self!!!!!

somebody said about no real jobs and the mexicans issue. This anyway doesnt apply on me I am not mexican, but why I cant find a decent Job. I have my education and i am sure not because of the mexicans but because of the OUTSOURCING. My Job aswell of many other vanished for some CHEAP LABOR overseas (india and china), The issue of the illegal immigrant has been  a problem since forever, but why now it was erupted? Because the Big companies are laying off people left and right, and outsourcing the jobs of others, maybe they knew some retaliation will happen so they erupt and paid money in millions to let media concentrate on mexicans.\n\nBeside that someone said the 300.000 on welfare.... Did you trach how many are not mexicans on welfare and they are capable of working but they dont want to do anything beside selling crack on the streets and hang out arround. You know how many are those? MANYYYY.\n\nWhat about the war thats is not OURS!!! war expense everyday was estimated of 100 millions. Gaz for vehicles, food for soldiers, etc... What we have to do with irakians problems? why we still there? thats beside everyday we lose one or 2 soldiers. These are humans !!! THATS where you lose Money!!!\n\nAnd for those who said now we have laws about immigration I am afraid that you missed totally the point of the person who asked this question. He mentioned the settlers as a prove that all white, yellow, black, brown except what called red indians are IMMIGRANT. You accept that fact or not, this country history return back to 300 to 400 years max. \n\nAnyway americans are offensive to newly immigrant? yes but because of some rules in some companies about zero tolerance against discrimination they dont say it out loud. btw If the americans didnt descriminate against others based on their origin...why there is a law prohibit the descrimination !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good friend of mine had a prosperous lawn mowing business. "Had" being the key word here. He refused to hire anyone that was in this country illegally. The competition started using illegal slave labor "mexicans" and put him right out of business. He had no problem at all finding people willing to work but when other companies are paying way below minimum wage....what could he do???

Yes, we are being killed by free trade.  What happened to "made in America"?  If we keep this up, there will be no jobs for Americans.  I would gladly pay more for a product that is Made in America.
