they might not..but our young people would if those were the entry level jobs that got you started in the workforce...\nbesides..there are enough uneducated low income people to work in the fields...\nand in case you havent noticed..only a few illegals work in the fields, the rest are spread out in construction, fast food, and other jobs that require no education...\n\nwhich brings us to the question of..if lazy americans had to work in the fields, dont you think we would soon have machines doing the job and thus reduce the price..??? after all..laziness is the mother of invention\n\nthis is not a question of who gets to work or not work...it is a question of illegaly sneaking into our country and bringing crime, disease, drugs and a drain on our system...

I reckon it has not so much to do with being lazy, but having an education ... if you speak the language fluently ... if you have a good education .. then in all likelihood you'll be offered a better job ... and as someone said, it also depends on where you live in the U.S.  I wouldn't call people who work 70-80 hours a week in offices all around the U.S. lazy ... they're doing a different kind of job, but lazy?  Nahhhhh .... \n\nFruit and veggies have to be picked, they have ALWAYS been picked though, but not always by illegal aliens ... the only difference you would see if all the illegals were deported would be that wages for such jobs would go up ... and before someone screams You'll pay $10 for a head of lettuce ... not so!!  It is a simple fact that the veggie producers want to SELL their stuff ... nobody would buy at those prices ... there have been plenty written about this, and most seem to be in agreement that there might be a SLIGHT increase in prices, and a dip in profits for the veggie producer ... but hey, the crops would still be harvested, the produce sold ... we don't NEED illegal immigrants!

I love ALL humans and hope for and wish the best for all lives ... HOWEVER, if you are going to work here and live here, FOLLOW THE LAWS, AND PAY TAXES LIKE ALL THE REST OF US HAVE TO!!!!  Simple as that :) ... Have a nice day.

Farmers should'nt pay wages to illegals.  They should have them deported.  If they are illegal, then they should not even be here to be paaid!!!

You don't usually lose jobs to illegal aliens. They usually work in manual labor jobs and in sweatshop environments that none of us legals want to work in.\n\nFirst of all, it's very risky for the employer to employ illegals and they'd have to be pretty stupid to fire you then hire an illegal ... that's ASKING for trouble!\n\nToodles

If the individuals are illegal, they should not be working in the US anyway.  If the immigrants are legal they should be treated as anyone else.  If someone outside of this group were to take the same actions (missing work unexcused) then would they be fired?  If so, then yes you should fire them, but if you would be lenient to others missing work than you should be lenient to all legal workers.  It would just depend on what the company's policies are.

Hey, you get it. That is why the laws should make the people that do the hiring the ones that pay the penalty. Put them in jail. That is where they belong. That would also help the problem with illegals if there were no jobs for them they would not come here.

There will be a small effect. Americans wont care about the protest but employers might care that they're losing work! And Maybe the politicians should make all immigrants SPEAK ENGLISH in America. Our Schools Teach kids Spanish here but do you think in Mexico they learn english there. Of Course Not. Learn English. Aprender Ingles.

Yep, that would work!  Never mind this baloney that people would be put out of work if employers had to pay a decent wage ... they wouldn't ... NO industry employs more people than they have to, with or without minimum wage ... does anybody think that just because the wages are depressed, more people get work?  Get real ... if a workplace need workers, they employ them!!

Correct on EVERY thing you have said....Nice job sassy. Not to mention..It is being said that prices of goods and services would be on the rise when we deport the "illegals" from our land. If this is the case..why haven't prices gone down as a result of there illegal employment?

Yes, I believe that is the answer to the illegal problem, go after the employer, arrest the people that do the hiring and put them in jail, make the company's pay a huge fine per illegal, that would get the message out to the employers that it will not be tolerated. \n\nNO WORK = NO JOB = NO MONEY = NO REASON TO BE HERE.

Mexicans will work for any amount of money, so what do you think?
336566
they will relise that it wasn't worth it. Not only will they lose a day's pay but also they will have to find new jobs on Tuesday. If they all left, the USA would have no problem filling the jobs. If we can afford large houses, SUV's, internet, cell phones, large screen tv's, and cable then we will not be affected by their absence. I think this will be a good opportunity for the feds and military to round them all up. They will leave by bus, train and trailer. ALL ABOARD!!! Adios Amigos y Amigas!!!

No lets deport the Illegals and make the supporters pick the vegetables and work the fields at minimum wages instead..........i would love that and would pay money to see that happen

Yes is a good idea, because theres people from many countries who cross oceans, fences etc who come to these country to work, and provide to their families who live in their home country. And to the Mexican people most of all the border cross them,without their hard work in the fields most of white america will be starving to death. If they want them out so bad I love to see a white person go out to the fields and pick strawberries, they wouldn't even last 5 minutes..........
