Who thinks Mexicans are blatantly stealing U.S. working class jobs?

I'm with the majority.  It's the damn employers who are creating problems.  THEY should be charged with a felony.

I am glad to have foreigners in my country because they are cheap labor. How many white men do you know that would work for less than 5 dollars an hour in a field under the scourching sun while crop planes drop insecticides on them while they are picking the fruits and vegetables that we eat that we pay hardly anything for. If there were no immigrants our produce and so many other things that we use and eat daily and take for granted would not be accesible because the costs would be to high. So whoever said that immigrants come and take the white mans jobs, you are full of it. They take the jobs that nobody wants, such as housekeepers, field workers, janitors, and so on, I hope that you get the point. For those that live in the U.S. remember 90% of us are descended from immigrants. Mexico is part of America, they are just South America. they did not have to take a boat to get to the America's, they were already here. If you actually look at the statistics most people that are on welfare are white women, not mexicans. I have met plenty of hispanic immigrants that are in the process of learning  English, believe me people it does not take over night to learn a language. Americans are very ignorant and stupid when it comes to things like this. How many of you actually learned a new language before visiting another country? Some of these immigrants really are here on a short term basis, they are here to make money to take back to their families. Just like any American that works or tries a new investment, all you are trying to do is support your family. Be respectful of other people, remember One Nation Under God, it is not very christian to be so ignorant.......

"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

NO... they are creating a society of Rich and Poor just like in Mexico... The rich are getting richer by using the immigrants for cheap labor.. the poor are getting poorer.. and the middle class is almost non existent... That is why Mexico is like it is... and that is what we are becoming. Hope everyone is happy about that.. The middle man is a goner... :(

Many of them choose to do cheaper labor. I know some Mexicans and they bash themselves

All the people who answered this question are so ignorant about economics that they don't realise *their* lazy, braindead, dole-grabbing ass is the drain on the economy, while the Mexicans only improve it. \n\nSweet, sweet irony, how I cherish your name.

Not really,more like stupid propaganda by pro-illegal idiots. I live everyday with out mexican's washing my clothes, watching my son, mowing my lawn, etc. No one really needs them they just like the average joe six pack to think that.

Oh yes they use them for their businesses and pay them a fraction of what they could get elsewhere.  The rent their bedrooms 4 to a room on the floor to illegals and charge an arm and leg.  Many Anglicized Mexicans abuse for profit any newly arrived alien they can.  From prostitution, to other scams......Ask the police or check the California or Arizona police stories.... However, there are some Mexican Americans that do treat the aliens respectfully, I have seen it, but far too few..........Most aliens who find work do it with a Mexican American who knows the ropes and the ins and outs.

Who do you think did all those jobs before illegals invaded our country?  Maybe those jobs didn't exist, or maybe farmers let their produce rot?  Your argument is illogical and self serving.  The fact of the matter is that employers want these illegals here because they can take advantage of them, and the government who looks out for the interests of the business elite, supports them in this.  They try to play Americans for fools by sending troops to the border and suggesting a guest worker program, which is just a way to ensure a permanent source of cheap labor for these greedy employers.  Illegals will work for wages that no American will work for, and as a result they take jobs from Americans and drive wages down for everybody else.  It's obvious you don't know what you are talking about when you bring up something like doing construction work for $7.50 an hour.  Construction work, just so you know, was a good job that paid a lot more than $7.50 an hour and that employed many Americans, until illegals started swarming our country and doing doing construction for shit wages.  A lot of Americans lost good paying jobs, and contruction companies increased their profits by grotesque proportions.  So don't fool yourself by thinking that illegals are essential.  The only reason they are allowed to come and stay is because they increase the profits of the business elite.  But this can only go on for so long.  At some point, Americans will get so sick of being screwed that these businessmen and their politician buddies who are selling out their counrtry for profits, will have no choice but to stop hiring illegals altogether, and these illegals will have no choice but to go home where they belong.

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.

First, I blame corporate America.\nMany many companies, which we consider Amercian  are responsible for this. Walmart, MacDonalds and 10000 other companies. Its not about  labor shortage as much as it is about paying the correct wages.They are trying to save costs every way possible.  Corporate america is exporting service related jobs and other jobs requiring skills. \nImporting illegals to do the blue collar jobs. What should an average American do??\n\nIts even worse when they say we are falling behind in math, engineering and science and say that students are shying away from these fields. What else do you expect them to do??\n\nA mexican is comming to the US because he is sure he will get a job, get a house and be entitled to all the benefits that a legal resident  or citizen has. Western union is more than willing to wire money (earned illegally) to a bank account in mexico. Again I dont blame the mexican, but Western Union. He should not be able open an account in  bankl let alone remitt money. \n\nCongress caters to the need of corporate america and has turned a blind eye and they are equally responsible for this mess.

Well, they can't sat SH*T to me. I'm American...of Mexican blood...and I think all illegals need to stop complaining, go home, and not come back here until they're legal. They hurt regular Americans by taking jobs that would otherwise offer decent wages to those with less education or those who just prefer to work with their hands instead of sitting behind a desk.

Just exactly what jobs are these people taking away from Americans?  Picking in the field?  Washing dishes?   I don't see too many Americans lining up to do those jobs... most of them that are available for this kind of work are too busy sitting on street corners asking for money.  \n\nLazy bastards.

The economy in this country is already horrible. It's going to keep getting worse. The politicians don't care because they will keep benefitting from the situation while more Americans plummit into poverty. There will be millions more homeless people and those who are wealthy will continue to say it's the poor's fault, spouting the usual lies.\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.
