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.

I believe in order to find a job... you must first obtain the documentation needed to "WORK" in this country... I would hope with all the hoopla on the undocumented residence these days... companies would require proper documentation BEFORE hiring anyone who is not a US citizen.

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.

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 sure hope they do if this happens. Illegals should be deported, not given amnesty.

There is a myth that employers in the United States must use illegal immigrants to fill these jobs because "they are jobs that no one else will do".  The true statement is that they are jobs that no one else will do for the little amount of money that the employers wish to pay, which is as little as possible.\n\nA prime example of this is the construction industry.  Twenty years ago, I was working in construction and the jobs were held by American citizens and I was earning a pretty good wage for starting a job with little skill.  Today, if you don't speak Spanish, you can't work in construction.  Construction used to be a pretty well paying field of work.  You could earn enough to have a pretty good house and car.  Today, no way!  You have to rent share with several other people because the wages are so pitifully bad.\n\nIf those jobs paid the fair wages that they used to instead of taking advantage of desperate people, there would be many  more United States citizens working in those jobs, including those involved in the Minuteman project.

Yes...I do believe this is a make or break issue in the coming elections. Those for amnesty or any other type of incentive for illegals will be out of a job. I am sure they will make a living selling trade secrets to other nations when they feel the need to continue to sell out America.

Yes. \n\nIt would be easy to make fun of people who have nothing better to do than ask questions or answer them. My problem is with your 92% who can't even spell or write a complete sentence. And there is a spell checker right above this box! This is not a good indication of the future of this country. No wonder all the better paying jobs are moving over seas while the illegals take up the menial ones. It makes you wonder what the "rocks" are going to do with their lives.

Of course they WON"T!!!! Already, the illegals in the construction industry, are wanting MORE money,so the Guatamalans are taking those jobs now!!! Do you REALLY think,that if they were legalized,that they would work at those low-paying jobs for long??? NO WAY!!!

If a lot of the undocumented (illegal) workers were deported, there would be a slight dip in the house-construction market--until the workers could make it back across the border and report back to work.\n\nDocuments?  We don't need no stinking documents!

i hate that they can't stay in their own countries and take their jobs. The unemployment rate in America is gonna start soaring if they don't go away

I said long ago that America will not have to deport all of the illegals, that some of them..a large percentage, would leave voluntarily. As far as your question is concerned...I think the people who would be cut in front of should answer that one.

NO. I think that would be impossible. We cannot flourish if people are not working. Outsourcing causes Americans to loose jobs. Think of the problem on an individual level, if as an individual you cannot take care of yourself and have to depend on others what would happen? Just like individuals our country needs to be self sufficient.

There aren't any jobs Americans won't do.  If illegals were granted amnesty and all their other demands met, that we don't even get.....how long are they going to be doing those jobs?  Then want?  When they cap the welfare and start telling these people you can't have 35 people in a 2 bedroom house and you HAVE to have car insurance and legal documents and they are stuck with taxes and fines and everybody isn't looking the other way anymore......they won't do them either because you can't live off those wages.  If you are thousands of dollars in debt for school loans, you can't live picking tomatoes a few months out of the year and survive and pay back the loans.  They want a better life and they aren't going to want to settle either.\n\nThey have gotten away with doing things that most of us would have been thrown in jail for doing.  They'd be yanking kids right and left out of our hands and putting them in foster homes if we did the stuff they do.  It's not been any sort of level playing field because we have gone by the rule of law and they have not.\n\nThey are getting homes with false documents, no credit history, no savings..........ya....I'd like to see how far the rest of us get doing that.  No accurate criminal records.  Mulitple identies.  Run for the border at the first sign of trouble.  Have some "special interest" group foot the bill for your law suits while the rest of us have to do it on our dime.  \n\nIt's been far from fair or close to equal footing.  Same game, different rule book.  There's always going to be someone to do those jobs.  We don't NEED illegals to do them.

i really think that all of the illegals should be sent back to wherever they came from especially the ones who dont speak english i hate the fact that they come and get jobs that pay them under the table so that the bosses do not get caught hiring illegals and they get paid really well and they still get on welfare and make it so that people who actually need the assistance cannot get it they all need to pay and then go home
595289
No, because people that hire undocumented workers would not be interested in hiring as they don't pay standard wage's to Illegals. I think that they should be arrested and put in jail where they belong.

Yes. Most of the construction workers in the states where the wall would be built are illegals.
