Ofcourse Americans never want to do any dirty work!! I seriously don't know what they trippin' about if we all have a history of immigrating...right? I think Americans are just selfish...They want this country for themselves when this country is nothing  without mexicans...I would really want to see all Americans in the fields picking out some strawberries and picking out some tomatoes in a hot weather...haha!! and they complaining about there's no jobs outthere and that immigrants are taking them all...People there is, but not the ones u want!!they pay the minimum...and Americans want to get paid more..so be thankful that there's people that are willing to do those dirty jobs for lil' money...All what this people is looking for a is called an opportunity...You guys don't know what's the living across the border...how about u putting yourself in their shoes? I didn't think u guys would...so why don't u guys support people that are only trying to make a living and work their asses off for their families? isn't that what we all do in a daily basis?think people...think...

they are not taking jobs, Americans are only intimidated that the illegal immigrant can work harder and better when it comes to labor!!!

what do u mean about americans? Americans are people from North America, Central America and South America. If you mean why do some united states citizens dont want immigrants here. I think is because they are afraid that they will take there jobs but, that is not the case immigarants to this country have always worked the worse jobs that nobody else wanted to work.  They are also afraid that they are taking advantage of public services, they should be allow to take advantage of thoose programs they pay taxes.

Sure they can.  All they have to do is give up their American citizenship, which is usually the end of it.

Those citizens that are out of work are aware that there are jobs out there.  Employers hire whoever is qualified for the job.  If that person is a foreigner with an actual legal work Visa, more power to them!  Why don't you go worry about the illegal immigrants?\n\nI used to work in the welfare department.  Very few of those people were willing to take jobs and get off welfare.  I got disgusted with humanity working in that place, watching people sit on their butts and actually say no when offered jobs.  One person told me she was earning more in that welfare check than she would at a minimum wage job.\n\nSend your brother down here to New Orleans.  We'll put him to work.  Employers here can't get enough people to fill the job openings.

I don't like illegal immigrants. If you're going to migrate to the US then do it through hard work like the rest. You need to EARN the right to be here. In some way or another, illegal immigrants are forcing hard working Americans to support them; be it through public welfare or housing, et.c.\n\nBy the way, not all Americans are educated. Some of us Americans need crappy, minimum wage jobs. In fact, I believe most every American enters the workforce with a low-income job at a young age.

Absolutely not, it is wrong that ANY illegal immigrants are getting citizenship, but mostly people from Latin American Countries.  Instead of taking the money they earned and putting it back into our economy, they are sending a large portion of it back home.  50% of Mexico's economies and an even larger percent of the economies of countries like Guatemala, Bolivia and Honduras are being created with American money.  At least we know why our economy is crumbling, while everyone else's is growing.

From what I've heard, a lot of illegal immigrants are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.  Law-abiding except for the illegal immigration, of course.

There are no jobs that Americans won't do if they are paid at least minimum wage and are protected by American labor and employment law.\n\nCheap labor allows businesses to not hire naturalized americans and to outsource jobs.  within a generation there will be no jobs for actual american citizens and then the economy will tank because no one will be able to buy anything.\n\nWhy do people assume that illegals are only doing the manual jobs?  They are doing restaurant, hotel, construction, childcare, and any other job they are offered....not just produce pickers.\n\nif Dynacorp can hire someone for 1 dollar, why would they hire you?  or your son?  or daughter?

no. why would we reward people for breaking the law. there are just as many people taking the time to go through the process, why take away their chances?! and to be honest, i think the reason immigrants are taking these jobs "no one else will do" is because they are less likely to require paperwork and therefor can remain in the US. Ruining our economy, taking away our healthcare, demanding spanish speaking school teachers etc. i dont care if you are mexican, irish, german, just be here legally.

lets be honest  yeah the American citizens would work them but only the white lazy crackheads. They would work these jobs but not as good as illegals do because they know if they make a mistake in that specific job they can get fired and they can't afford that. They have kids in their countries. So they work hard to keep their employers happy. Do you really think a us citizen would tolerate cleaning shit, working 10 hours in the sun as a gardener. no because they're citizens and they have opportunities.Just Analise things. No one would do the jobs better than an immigrant.And you said it they wouldn't take shit from their employers. Right? So they would eventually get tired of cleaning shit and they would eventually find themselves quitting. Why haven't i seen citizens doing these jobs right now? They don't want to. They r lazy and most try to find easy jobs. Increase in the wages maybe but remember threes bitchy people that expect you to do the jobs right. No matter how much they pay these citizensthey wouldn't tolerate this.They can never do these jobs as good as illegals.if an illegal can find a job so can a citizen but threes so many unemployed because they don't give it as much time to look for a job that illegal aliens. Just face it the economy would slowly deteriorate.

One must be sponsored in by a relative who is a US citizen and that person must show sufficient income to support you.  Then you must spend five years before taking a test to become a US citizen.\n\nBut, mostly, the economic answer is that the work available to illegal immigrants is not available to lawful citizens.  It is low-paying, without benefits, long hours and frequently dangerous to your health.  It is illegal to use and pay workers in the manner than illegal aliens are used.  And that's why they're used - they have no other options and they can't complain to the government.  You can curtail illegal imigration if you'd like, but you can't get your produce picked, your slaughterhouses cleaned or your drywall installed for four times the price you pay now.

Legal immigration is moving to this country by filling out the proper paperwork and being given permission to live here. Illegal immigration means entering or staying in the country illegally.\n\nNow, with regards to the economic impact. Illegal immigrants DO do work that Americans refuse to do. And that is because of the wages. Say Americans picked oranges and had to be paid $15 per hour plus medical plus benefits. Americans would be lined up outside the door to get those jobs, right? Are you willing to pay $10 or $15 for a quart of orange juice to cover those wages and benefits? I think I know the answer to that one. So, to keep your quart of orange juice at $3, orange growers have to pay illegals 2 or 3 bucks an hour to do the work.\n\nHaving "fair pay that allows economic participation home,food,clothing,auto,health care,checking and savings accounts etc" sounds all well and good, and I think MOST Americans would be in favor of that if it were feasible. You wanna pay $15 for your McDonald's combo meal? No? Then guess what, people get paid minimum wage. You wanna pay $20 for a pound of meat? No? That's why stockers and tellers get around minimum wage.\n\nMOST of the people in those jobs (tellers, fast food, etc.) tend to be teens and people in their early 20s. Do you know why? Because they don't have any experience doing anything else! Why SHOULD they have everything handed to them on a silver platter? They are unproven as employees. After a couple of years, most move on to a little better jobs with a little better pay. They prove themselves there and move on to something bigger and better.\n\nGuess what? That is the way of the world ... always has and always will. Some people don't make a decent living because they do not prepare themselves to be able to earn a decent living.\n\nWhen I got married in 1989, I worked full time and netted $110 per week. $440 per year. $5280 per year. And I worked my a$$ off for it. I chose not to go to college, but I spent ten years in the military getting skills. I never made more than $25,000 in any year. I got off of active duty and was offered a job making over a hundred grand per year almost immediately. I had sh!tty pay for a decade, but there was a payoff - and that is right now.\n\nDon't be angry at the "cheap bastards trying to play capitolist" (and it is captilalist, not capitolist). Capitalism is all about the law of supply and demand. If the supply (the workers) will work for minimum wage (the demand) why SHOULD they be paid any more? If they don't like it, they should prepare themselves for a better job.

Immigrants are the best solution to cover the posts of unwanted jobs in many countries! If the law changes they automatically start paying taxes. When you born cannot choose the place to live, later however you should be allowed to do whatever and wherever you want. That's the human right - freedom. Romanians moved to Poland, Poles moved to the UK, British and Mexicans moved to USA, Dominicans, Colombians to Spain etc. There were recently millions of people around globe who found the place to live somewhere else and how on earth the governments will put them back to where they came from? If they find a job it obviously means they're needed there. You lost cooks - pay bribes officers so they go to other industries instead ;-D)))

According the the PEW Hispanic research center the vast majority of illegals DO NOT want to be citizens. They don't care about amnesty. They do not want to assimilate. Where these other people are getting their information I have no idea. If they(illegals) cared at all about wanting to be citizens they would have been waving proudly the American flag instead of defaming it the way many did. Amnesty will NOT work. Amnesty has not worked in the past and it is ridiculous for anyone to think it will work this time around.
