Ok, maybe some of the higher-skilled jobs (doctors, scientists, researchers, possibly)...
But hospitality, agriculture, maintenance, cleaning jobs, etc that the undocumented, usually latino, typically fill? (TYPICALLY) Americans do not want these jobs because they simply do not pay enough. I worked in a restaurant once and we could not pay anyone enough to do some of the detailed cleaning we needed. Even people (Americans) that would complain about how they needed a job, or were about to get evicted, had children, whatever. It is hard to get people to do menial, low-wage paying work.
I don't see Americans in droves trying to clean anything, anywhere, pick any fruit, cut any one's grass, work in anyone's kitchen or clean anyone's hotel room. However, illegals come and do twice the work for sometimes a fraction of the pay.
They are dependable, hard working, and (I believe) deserving of every penny they can get for the jobs they do.
So, what jobs are they stealing from US?
