Does it piss off Americans when ppl say that their are jobs out there that Americans WON'T?

Yeah it bothers me.I've done a lot of hard labor jobs.\nWhat bothers me more though is if a man (any man,legal or illegal) does a job he deserves fair pay.These people who hire illegals do them a disservice and the rest of us one too.I've seen companies that were doing alright fire all their crew hire Mexicans (for about half the wages)and with in a year they are buying a bunch of equipment and building new shops.\nI think it's crap ,but that's greed.It's not that Americans won't do the work,folks just want to get more profit.

Yes they do. Many people say it's because Americans won't do them. It's not that Americans won't do them, it's the companies they won't pay the money for the people to work so the CEO's and other big wigs within the company can put more dollars in their pockets. Illegals will do it because it's still twice what they would get back in Mexico.

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.

I have no problem with anyone who comes to this country legally taking any job they are able to do. But this is America and the jobs it produces are for Americans.  If you like our economy, our freedoms, our way of life, our laws, then by all means find a legal way to come join us, become one of us, add to our work force, our culture, support this country, and love it as we do.

I'd probably have to say some time between when pigs fly and when hell freezes over. \n\nHonestly, it's not happening. Politicians can hype up as much cr*p as they want, but our economy is too dependent on immigrant labor (there are just some jobs that Americans wont do for less than minimum wage).\n\nI never quite understood American distaste for illegal immigrants. The argument that they steal American jobs is a load of BS (where do we get this idea that we have some sort of god-given right to a job?). They do things we wouldn't do for the pay they're willing to make. I wouldn't say that's a bad thing at all. In fact, they're blending right in to the American capitalist system. The fact that many speak spanish and that Hispanic culture is becoming an increasingly visible part of our national culture as a whole seems to bother many. However, when did we ever say that European culture (and that's pretty much what it is in all honesty) should be the dominant one here? Or that English should be our official language (for the record, its not in the constitution). Just because we've done things a certain way for years doesn't mean its the right or best thing to do.

Ruthie, I wish I had an answer for you.  The closest I can come is to say that people will do as little as possible and expect great rewards for little efforts.  American trains them that way.  We have become a country of entitlement for all the wrong reasons.

becasue the americans dont view it as a privalage, and more of as an inconvience.

not in the least but republicans do have a plan to middle and upper manage the world. More americans are needed to travel and assist overseas and south of the boarder operations given that most of those managers other then by birth would be picking cotton or other suitable work for the idiots colleges are turning out these days the idle rich have found a new niche in the world overseeing laborers in foriegn countries .americans are to good to clean up after themselves with both parents working jose cuts the grass for 20 dollars and takes him an hour so bob the homeowner is free to earn 75 dollars an hour to jump up and down yelling at employees to get busy or we will move the plant to mexico.where labor is cheaper and more reliable .this brings in a group of accountants that total up the assests of the company sell it to japaness business investors who have now broken the back of the union that use to work in the community.americans are rehired to do the same hard work for lower wages now because america is so loved by all the nations of the world we relocate the plant to chile where labor is only $3.00 a day bob makes several business trips a year to jump up and down  but to no avail he is promoted to the board of directors where him and his buddies vote for huge salaries and stock options upon which they retire.never doing more then yelling and screaming at others and taking all the credit for the work being done.being unfit to work in a society would normaly be a bad thing but here in america its an art form .we have plenty of people to work here in america they are just to busy jumping up and down doing nothing but selling american jobs down the river. creating a two class society those who work for a living and those who takee advantage of those who work for a living .so to end illegals we need to pay lettuce pickers 100 dollars an hour and  the management jobs of jumping which mexicans are good at they made it over the boarder and screaming have you ever seen them drink tequilia. the 10 dollar an hour worthless jobs after all jumping up and down screaming and yeeling has to be done by somebody right without executives flying all over the world in million dollar jets with million dollar salaries 700 guys in south america wouldnt go down in a deep hole digging for gold .right we arent that smart just that greedy that we deny people there natural resources work them long hours and spunge of others to make a living you republicans make me sick .

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.

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"

I'm 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 drive 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.

"Third, I don't like the idea that they take jobs from Americans who are willing to work. However, many of the jobs they take are jobs that legal Americans are unwilling to do because they are "demeaning". Also, Americans expect to be paid more because we want to buy the house and the car and the big screen television. They on the other hand want to put food on the table and clothes on their kids."\nMaybe Americans also want to put food on the table and clothes on their backs?  And what's wrong with wanting to get paid more to buy a house or a car?\n\n"Further more, have we forgotten that Texas was originally Mexico? Let's give it back! While we're at it, let's give back Hawaii to the Hawaiians, Alaska to the Russians, Louisianna to the French, Florida to the Seminoles, The Midwest to the Cherokee and Sioux and the East Coast back to England. Oh, and while we're at it drag all the Americans back from Japan, China, Taiwan, South Africa, and Australia."\n\nUh, many of those places you speak of were purchased.  And regardless of what the past was like we live in the present now.  It doesn't matter if the land belonged to someone else before.  The U.S. is U.S. property and it will and should not change.

Have you evern seen the fields in California, in Arizona? Those people working under the hundred degree weather are all Mexicans, South Americans, Central Americans, probably undocumented. So far I have not seen an Anglo doing those jobs! How about construction? Those jobs are so dangerous, so hard to do! As for myself, I would not expose my life, my health, doing those tasks, for the cheap pay. Someone has to do it.\n\nWhat are my excuses? My allergies, my "education," my pride, you name it, I got it. I prefer to work in the shade, with "educated" people, with benefits. There's a lot of people like me... I love to buy my vegetables, my fruit, at a decent price. What will we do without immmigrants? The cost of everything will get so high it would not be affordable.\n\nAlso, when I travel, I like to find a clean bed in the hotel where I spend the night. I love to eat in restaurants too. Who do you think cooks that delicious Mexican or Chinese food you and I like? Who will be humble enough to clean the mess we Anglos make?\n\nOne more point: when I grow old, I want for those people who take care of me in the nursing home to be nice to me.

Well - gosh - I see so many "Americans" lining up to clean, cook and do yard work.  These so called jobs being taken away from Americans (ha,ha) are given to immigrants bcuz they will do them for next to nothing in pay and if YOU were to do any of these jobs you would want $50 an hour with benefits and vacations and sick time and a say in what you do and a title for your job and pay raises etc, etc. You get the drift ???????

It seems to me that almost everything that the US uses is made in another country. This in turns makes up dependent upon foreign countries for things we could make in the US. The funny thing about this is the US people would not work for the same wages that the foreign people are paid to do such taxing , monotonous work. Have you ever heard anyone request subpar conditions and $0.15 a day in the US??? I doubt it.....
