heak no i wouldn't i can get a better job with benefits at the same price. but anyways, i don't think this is what the question is about. most people would say that immigrants are taking their jobs away but is it true. i think not they are doing jobs that we don't want. do you know have they are treated in the feilds.... there is a saying.... you don't know a person until you been in there shoes. personally i haven't but i have heard stories from my family that had to go through that to get to where they are.

You know I think it would. Especialy in the farming community. No one else wants to work out there, 10-12 hours on the heat. All I hear are people complaing about immigrants taking all our jobs, come on, how many americans do you know that will work out in the feilds for 12 hours for like 5 bucks an hour. Lets get real people, its not like they're jumpin the border and taking all are IT jobs.

Big business needs no demands cheap labour so he will do noting.The multi-million dollar California fruit picking industry will not survive without them(would you pay $5-$8 for an apple?)

about $5 per hour..  \nlets face it..  there are jobs out there that aren't worth more than that.\nthese high minimums are going to hurt a lot of small businesses.

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@--->---

We only "need" illegal immigrants if we "need" to maintain a peasant class in the United States. I would strenuously argue that we don't - even if it means that a few amoral capitalists will be driven out of business and we have to pay a few cents more for our strawberries. and if you make them legal they will demand more and you will still pay more for those strawberries, \n\nYou need look no further than California as an example of the first Third World State of America. \n\nCall your representatives

I believe you are talking about Illegal aliens, not immigrants.  There is a hugh difference.\n\nWould I be willing to pick vegetables if they were to leave?  NO.  I have a job that pays much better.  But you are kidding yourself if you think that the veggies and fruit would go unpicked.  The farmer may end up paying more to have someone do it and thus the price of your produce may go up, but they would be picked.
