CURLIES_10-You Need To Learn The Underlying Issues Before You Become A Taxpayer(Im Assuming Youre A Student Living With Your Parents)\n\nFREEDOMHAMMER Makes The Point Best-It Is GREEDY Unscrupulous EMPLOYERS That ENABLE This Problem And Have Compounded It To This Point\n\nThere are jobs Americans simply won't do, so that the importation of foreigners is essential. Whether these foreign workers are ILLEGAL ALIENS,  guestworkers, or permanent Legal Immigrants is a detail to be worked out by us, the argument goes, but our need for them is unchanged.Even many opponents of the proposed Bush Amnesty assume this to be true, leading them to propose new and improved guestworker programs, with provisions for stricter controls against Permanent Settlement, greater incentives to return, tighter enforcement against Unscrupulous Employers, etc. As well-meaning as such efforts may be, the basic assumption is false — \n\nThere is simply no economic reason to import FOREIGN Workers.If the supply of FOREIGN Workers were to dry up (say, through actually ENFORCING the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. \n\n1: One, they would offer HIGHER Wages, INCREASED Benefits, and Improved Working Conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers.\n\n2:At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. The result would be a NEW Equilibrium, with Blue-Collar Workers making somewhat Better Money, but each one of those workers being more productive.\n\nMany people fear the first part of such a response, claiming that prices for fruits and vegetables would skyrocket, fueling inflation..NOT TRUE..Labor accounts for only about ten percent of the retail price of a head of lettuce,  so even doubling the wages of pickers would have little noticeable effect on consumers.\n\nSeveral people told me they used to do the "jobs Americans won't do" until local employers figured out they could get ILLEGAL Aliens to work for less than half the same amount. As an example, a young landscaper who used to make $15 an hour 10 years ago, can't get a similar job now for more than $8 an hour. Same heat. Same difficult working conditions.  But with the Depressed Wage, AMERICANS – who live in a country where the cost of living is miles above that of Mexico's – can't afford to take such jobs.It's not that he and other Americans don't want to do landscaping anymore; it's just that in heavily trafficked ILLEGAL Alien environments, IT DOESNT PAY WELL ENOUGH ANYMORE.\n\n Younger U.S.-born high school graduates are squeezed at both ends. Jobs that would have gone to them in the past are now being grabbed by college graduates. The lowest-wage jobs are unappealing, and employers will not raise wages as long as ILLEGAL Immigrants will take them.\n\nIf this is what the open borders crowd means by ILLEGAL ALIENS doing jobs Americans don't want, they're right. American workers want jobs that can Earn them a DECENT LIVING in this country. Minimum wage is a fortune south of the border, but it doesn't go far here. \n\n\nthis is to illustrate the absurdity of a "comprehensive" approach to ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS , and the more radical of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT  advocates who are proponents of an "open borders" policy. We don't take a comprehensive, humane approach with drug dealers because they are breaking our laws and causing great damage to this country by poisoning our children. Similarly, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS  violate our laws and Poison our system of Economics by TAKING JOBS  from American Workers, Keeping WAGES ARTIFICIALLY LOW, and Sucking MILLIONS of Dollars of TAXPAYERS MONEY out of our Welfare and Medical Systems. \nNot To Mention The Fact That A Majority Of ILLEGAL ALIENS Live And Work In This Country And Then Send Their Money Back Home To Their

Why don't you start working instead of wasting your time on here saying your stupid opinions.  That's why the illegals are taking the jobs, because of lazy ass people like you who are not willing to work.

I'm 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 drive 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.

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\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.

All these people complain about illegals taking there jobs but who the hell hires them if not people who are trying to save a buck here and there by hiring them for much less money than they know a person who lives here would if illegals knew that it would be a little harder to get a job over here i don't think there would be that many. We have to deal with those people too stop hiring illegals just so you can save a few bucks or stop charging them hundreds of dollars to get them across the illegals aren't the only ones to blame.

Well - gosh - I see so many "Americans" lining up to clean, cook and do yard work.  These so called jobs being taken away from Americans (ha,ha) are given to immigrants bcuz they will do them for next to nothing in pay and if YOU were to do any of these jobs you would want $50 an hour with benefits and vacations and sick time and a say in what you do and a title for your job and pay raises etc, etc. You get the drift ???????

"Third, I don't like the idea that they take jobs from Americans who are willing to work. However, many of the jobs they take are jobs that legal Americans are unwilling to do because they are "demeaning". Also, Americans expect to be paid more because we want to buy the house and the car and the big screen television. They on the other hand want to put food on the table and clothes on their kids."\nMaybe Americans also want to put food on the table and clothes on their backs?  And what's wrong with wanting to get paid more to buy a house or a car?\n\n"Further more, have we forgotten that Texas was originally Mexico? Let's give it back! While we're at it, let's give back Hawaii to the Hawaiians, Alaska to the Russians, Louisianna to the French, Florida to the Seminoles, The Midwest to the Cherokee and Sioux and the East Coast back to England. Oh, and while we're at it drag all the Americans back from Japan, China, Taiwan, South Africa, and Australia."\n\nUh, many of those places you speak of were purchased.  And regardless of what the past was like we live in the present now.  It doesn't matter if the land belonged to someone else before.  The U.S. is U.S. property and it will and should not change.

Your question makes no sense to me. I remember years ago when living wages were not so high and you were actually given a wage to live within your means doing jobs like janitor work, landscaper, roofer, cooks, etc. Believe it or not, these all were considered good jobs in the 50's, 60's, 70's and even 80's. All the jobs that your people have taken over now claiming that these are jobs us snobbish, lazy, Americans no longer want. \n\nWhat has happened is that illegals starting coming in got paid under the table, and brought the wages down for these jobs and now it is out of control. These days you rarely see a non-hispanic, or US Citizen doing these jobs. \n\nWhat you are preaching is a lie told to you by your filthy presidente Vicente Fox and our moronous Bush. The smart American, patriotic working class people don't buy this bullsh*t for a second and don't think your pulling the wool over our eyes. Your nothing special, we don't owe you anything. You work 3 or 4 jobs like an animal not a human being and have hurt our proud hardworking American culture and everything we fought for. Go crawl back into your el holo.

I agree 100% I am not an immigrant. Illegals and their supporters are trying to divert attention to the fact that THEY shouldn't be complaining. i don't mind hearing an opposing view point from an American . but I do not want to hear negativity from a person that shouldn't be here in the first place.

immigration. well i am full blooded Mexican American. my father was in Vietnam, grandfathers in world war II, I struggle to get to pay bills. hard to find a decent job. but i manage and tell my daughter how great this country is every day. It angers  me to see Mexican nationals go to the grocery store, pay for there food, complain about sale priced items only to pay with food stamps and then to see them load it up in there escalade, or other brand new car. but yet there plates still show Mexico. they only come to complain about our society. but yet will mooch off it as much as possible. well Monday they are to do a strike. if any one is in position to fire anyone, then get those illegals and people that should remember just where you live. freedom is not free. and my family as well as many other families fought and gave life for this freedom. don't throw that though away just for people who don't deserve it. if you are American citizen, then do your part and go to work. remember where you came from and remember why people want to come to this country. long live the USA

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.......

Sounds like you're pretty fed up with millions of people coming into your country illegally and taking jobs away from your fellow citizens.  Why are you so angry?  Haven't you heard they are only taking jobs no unemployed, or Mcjob employed American wants?  You must be a racist to resent this invasion of your country, helping to hold down wages, draining the social services budgets, straining the healthcare & the school systems and raising the crime rate.   \nDon't you realize that the money these illegal people send home, draining our economy, is Mexico's second largest source of national income, second only to the tourist dollars Americans spend down there.  Surely you realize that, unlike people everywhere else throughout history, these people want to stay at the bottom and have their children stay at the bottom.  They will never become dissatisfied and rebel.   No, it will be a first time ever in history that a group of people will like to have no chance to move up in a society.   Of course we OWE it to them and not to our own citizens.  Where do I go to apply for illegal immigrant status and get my free lunch, medical care, lower student costs, and a chance to get a better life?

You have made a point, although in a very insulting way.\n\nDifferent people are mad for different reasons:  \nI, personaly, am not scared of the hard working illegal who sneaks across the border.  It's the drug dealers, criminals, etc, that slip in along with you.  We need to seal the border & reform immigration law so we can let the good, hard-working people in, & keep the scum out. (we have enough scum of our own - we don't need more)\nI am also concerned with those who don't learn Engish.  I think everyone should learn a second language, but that includes immigrants (illegal or otherwise).  Learn English!\n\nBut there are people who feel threatened by people who actually have a healthy work ethic as well as those who just don't want any more "beaners" in America.  Please don't lump me with either of those groups.\n\nOne illegal alien in particular was a salvation for my boyfriend's family. His mother had a stroke & needed full-time live in care. The only Americans he could afford would quite after one week, sometimes just leaving without telling anyone leaving his mother alone for hours.  She could have had an episode & died!  One lady actually stole all the jewelry, including her wedding ring, before leaving.\nIn desparation, he finally found someone who had a cousin here illegally who was willing to do the job.  She became part of the family.  After 10 years of excellent care, his mother died.  That was 2 years ago, & we still consider her family.  She usually spends Christmas with us.

HELL NO!!! You can think Iam a racist biggot if you want..I don't care. Do you think I could move to Mexico City and DEMAND ANYTHING?? Much less demand RIGHTS?  Of course not!!! Especially when someone is here Illegally how many rights are they actually entitled to? NONE!! Iam sick and Fuck*ing tired of going to the grocery store and picking up a box of something and having to turn it over 2 or 3 times to find where it's written in english. DO they have half the Shi*t written in english on there products in mexico?? Hell No Would they start printing every thing in english to accomodate me or anyone else english speaking? HELL NO! SOme (not all) don't pay taxes cause they work for cash. And to top it all off some Beaner re-wrote the national anthem in SPANISH so some Illegal wet-backs can sing it in spanish. They breed like rabbits, Let their kids run around in the stores like goons, can't speak the language, and drive around with no car insurance and stolen social security numbers  and I know what iam talking about I live in Texas BEANER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.....F*UCK EM' They need to go home.  As far as the flag waving goes the bastards don't deserve to carry the american one. And need to go home to mexico if they are gonna carry their flag...

If you are going to try and fly a mexican flag on american soil well get ready to get a flag pole shoved up your a$$ and get ready to get kicked out.

Even white Americans are racist against  Americans, spouting stuff about "work that Americans won't do" and attacking American citizens claiming we aren't real Americans while they are defending these illegal aliens who are invading.\n\nThe illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over.

I AGREE WITH YOU!!!!!Let's face it, American citizens are intimidated, they claim that immigrants are taking jobs. Why is that? oh I know why because the immigrant can do a better job and are still payed a low wage!!!I agree they are kicking our asses GOOD!! and I support them 100%, you gotta give them props!!, and I don't know why people b*tch that they are breaking the law. I bet more than half the people that complain about immigrants have broken the law once or twice themselves. Sh*t even me I was charged for battery that's a violent crime and I'm a citizen, and the immigrant only came here with out no papers. So people stop your b*tching their are worse crime someone can commit for example the war started in Iraq.
