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@--->---

Yes, the maquiladoras in the border and many of the industries require them if they have skills, and the best is that they can get TN visas to work there. \n\nMexico City is the city with most americans outside the United States.

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.

There is no job that americans, or anyone, would not do for the right price.  The markets would adjust, and the price of cheap labor would rise until people would do it.  Realize that there is not a single industry where the majority of manual labor is done by illegal immagants.  Not agriculture (where they are 24% of workers), not construction (14%), cleaning (17%) or any other recognized field.  Note that the statistics I quoted above are from the Pew Hispanic Center, not very conservative.

The potential for that field is anywhere in the US. It just depends on what's available at the time and whether his qualifications meet the needs of the company. If you like the Southwest, does his languages include Spanish? Albuquerque and Santa Fe NM are nice.

Minute-Men should start picking up vegetables, work on construction, and doing all the hard labor to keep immigrants from working. Instead of hearing whites saying that they can do all those jobs without the Mexicans I would like to see them actually doing those jobs. More action less words!

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...

Get you A S S in gear and go to work. Why do you think they pay you? No wonder everyone wants to hire Mexicans. They are not half so lazy.

It will rather hard to survive. In fact after hearing npr.org There are less engineers in US compared to India and china. Mexico provides lots of labour but lacks in technical. \n US can surive only if they can get all the best engineers from India and over other parts of the world create some innovative products and sell the technology at an extra ordinary price

too much cheap labor would be lost, big corps would have to pay taxes and real wages to citizens, and mexico doesn't want them back...their prez encourages immigration, legally or illegally.

From my experience, most Mexicans work extremely hard for very little pay. I happen to work at the PHL airport where the workers are predominantly black, and also extremely lazy. Just to get the majority off their asses to do what they're paid to do is nearly impossible. The airport (specifically a certain airline) recently started hiring mexican workers and the entire operation has turned around. They know what work is, and don't sit around acting like the world owes them something.
