Implying white people don't want to dirty their hands to earn a living is getting close to borderline racism; careful.
The notion that illegal immigrants (not just Mexican) are doing jobs that ordinary Americans don't want is unfounded. I'm not sure if you've seen it but there is a wonderful show on the Discovery Channel called "Dirty Jobs" where the host goes across America to find those jobs that "make civilized life possible". If you haven't seen it here's a special song the host wrote to give you an idea what sort of jobs we are talking about.
[link] I hope that illustrates the point. I can grantee they only visit business that employ LEGAL citizens and immigrants, since I'm sure the Discovery Network wants no part of a scandal in this politically charged climate.
The REAL problem is that Americans can't get jobs because employers have more incentive to hire an illegal immigrant than an American citizen. If they hire an illegal immigrant they don't have to worry about paying him/her minimum wage or provide reasonable job benefits or safe working conditions for that matter. That illegal immigrant won't complain either for fear of deportation. If anything you should be mad at those people who hire illegals because it amounts to economic slavery/exploitation.
Remember the raids on companies across the U.S by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the big fuss over it not to long ago? Do you know what happened afterward?
After a raid on Crider Inc. (a chicken processing plant) in Stillmore, Georgia they raised their pay more than a dollar an hour what they were paying illegal aliens and subsequently approx. 400 unemployed people showed up for job interviews, and about half of them were hired. SOURCE:
[link]In 2008 in Laurel Mississippi; the electronics maker Howard Industries was raided and hundreds of U.S. citizens lined up for a job (even one woman drove 40 miles to get there). SOURCE
[link]There's more proof positive that Americans want these so called "Rejected Jobs". The fact is there is no such thing here in this country.
Illegal immigrants don't contribute to our economy either; they pay little to no taxes, use social services at a higher rate than Americans do and most of what little they do earn goes back to support their family back in their home country. We also spend $4.7 Billion Dollars a year on health care for illegal immigrants not to mention the $30 Billion we spend each year on educating illegal aliens in our schools. Illegal immigrants make only 3% of the population here, but they make up 17% of the population in U.S. Federal Prisons, and we have to pay for that too.
...Think about it.
