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?

A Pentagon investigation will recommend that nine officers, including up to four generals, be held accountable for missteps in the aftermath of the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan.

The Defense Department inspector general will cite a range of errors and inappropriate conduct as the military probed the former football star's death on the battlefront in 2004, said one defense official.

The official, who like the others requested anonymity because the Army has not publicly released the information, said it appears senior military leaders may have had all the facts but didn't care enough to get the facts of what happened on April 22, 2004, when Tillman was killed by members of his own platoon.

Dozens of soldiers — those immediately around Tillman at the scene of the shooting, his immediate superiors and high-ranking officers at a command post nearby — knew within minutes or hours it was a mistake. But Army needed to make Bush look good.

After all they didn't pollute the place, we did. To make Amishland fit for a King, I suggest waterless toilet tanks with forced air venting and 50,000 gallon tanks. I also suggest bank-teller type tube delivery systems connecting each household and central delivery points within the compound. They already have an efficient and mostly pollution free transportation system. At least it's all natural.

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are all a disgrace and being sued for war crimes under 18USC 2441. The whole Bush Administration is nothing but lies. How can we demand and get justice?

since the nazi led invasion hundreds of thousands of civillians hve lost thier lives.The colonial nazis only talk about the 3000 waffen ss (u.s) troops killed, but over 12,000 iraqi police officers have died(not including over 10,000 iraqi army personell) since the nazi invasion.The main reason the iraqi police have been killed in such large numbers is they are only given pick up trucks,and no body or head armour,unlike the waffen u.s troops who are kitted out more then a footballer.What is the point of training iraqi police and army for over 2 years when they will die as soon as they hve finsihed training.All this is an excuse for the colonial nazis to charge the iraqi governement millions from thier oil revenue dollars to bleed the country dry.And why are the iraqi army not even trained to fly helicopters or other aircraft as this will reduce the death numbers when they go on missions,the reason is again to bleed iraq by naz

I was going to invite some friends over but will the black kid get offended by the lawn jockey? It has exaggerated features with big white eyes and red lips. I thought about hiding it but my mother would kill me. She gets touchy about her yard and once beat the dog for eating her petunias.

As you know, there are official terms for certain terms such as:
murder--(homicide)
stealing--(larceny)
etc.

well I need to know, what is the legal term for prostitution? I need to know the official term for the crime of pimping, but if you also know the crime of being a "john" or being a prostitute, it would be nice to know what those terms are also.

My friends are in big trouble. Their house is being foreclosed and they need a lawyer who can explain them what is going on and what are their rights. But they don't have the money to pay attorney's fees. Is there a place where they can get advice for really really cheap...or for free? Also, they don't speak English.

I think that we would save America l Lot of Money and we could stop large companies and special intrest groups from buying off Senators to get their ways, if Bill Gates designed a program for the internet so that Americans could vote for the issues on their own. Each taxpayer would get an id number and they could go on line each day and read about the issues and then vote. If we did this we would not have to pay all of the politicians these big wages, and retirement plans, and health plans. This would make sure that no lobbist, special intrest group, and large company could buy off the officals to get their way. To do that they would have to buy off over half of America. We could have just the extreamly important positions like President, Vice President, and all of the staff for them. But we could get rid of all the State Representatives, Congressmen, and Senators. This would help cut our budget by millions of dollars and we would make sure that America was truely a democracy.
