Americans did it for at least minimum wage. But "the man" found out he could slip cash to illegals and pay them less than minimum wage. So they came and they came, and they continue to come.

Perhaps the people that you call pro-illegal are more pro-immigrant law abiding citizens that see your 1 minute dissertation as simple semantics and do not care to contribute to your yadda, yadda. Having said that, I will give it a go!!
This subject has been run to the ground by people who would probably never consider picking fruit! Let alone do cement foundations!!. The invasion you describe sounds like the magnitude of 9/11!
Aware and intelligent people know it was a trickle entry that our government agencies did not consider important at the time. It is now out of control because Americans employ the illegals. Ask a Columbian why their country dropships drugs to the USA...the Americans are a great marketplace for them, the largest consumers of all!
When Americans stop buying drugs, it will no longer be a lucrative marketplace. In the same light, when the Americans refrain from providing job opportunities for the illegals, please write and tell us how you are doing in the job market they will vacate for you and how you like laying foundations, etc.
By the way, the immigration issue is relative to the upcoming elections. Soon it will be history and the beat goes on! Do you think you will have become an expert on foundations, septic tanks, and produce brokering?

Well, first of all your feces pile not 10 feet high because you dump it in the ocean, you also didn't have your vines with rotting fruits and vegetable because you had no other choice, but to do it yourself and eat, Your garbage was your fertilizer for your vegetables, Your houses did not have the amenities we do today, therefore, sweeping your house was all you did. Now that all these illegal immigrants are here doing your job you feel like you don't need them? Well good luck having all them citizens waiting in line to work at the garbage company, house cleaning/maintence companies, down on the farms waiting to be chosen to pick fruit and vegetables and don't forget packing your meat you so conveniently pick up at the grocery store. Do we need immigrants, sure do, otherwise you'd pay $10 a head of lettuce at the store, because all you do is fight for your right to better pay. I don't think american citizens would like to get paid .10 cents a box of tomatoes. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I'll remember that Answerman when I take a job for $1 an hour to clean real not fake crap all over people's houses. And my family's been here over 150 years.
Please stop insulting strong work ethic Americans. There is no job an American wouldn't do. Stop spreading lies.
And not hiring immigrants would not make lettuce go $10 a head. You people are spreading lies of people that want to take your land back by La Reconquista and colonization.
From what I understand there's more lettuce here than in any other country and in staggaring amounts couldn't sell all we have if we wanted too. If america wanted lettuce, she would pick it and stop brainwashing people if a farmer, who don't work for nothing either, makes 5 million a year and goes down to 4 million a year to hire...at 20 grand a year say...over 50 starving Americans to do the same work as 50 illegals making $1 an hour and cry poverty, I don't have any sympathy for them. Every major farmer with political clout on top of that is paid a subsidy by the government to control what and how much they can grow.
Give me a break!

Americans, and president Bush has convinced the college educated that everyone else is cut out for that, there is no labor force in America, except for Illegal Immigrants.
It is a real bunch of doodoo.
I had my own cleaning businesses, until Illegals bid me right out of work because my cost were higher to operate, than it was for the illegals.
If more Americans are public assistance, than illegals, guess why?
It's because the illegals have the jobs.

Our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents did all this work back when they were aliens (legal and illegal too). Every category of business has its waves of immigrants. Grocery stores in NYC are a great way to read history - for years they were run by the Irish at the turn of the century, eventually moving on and giving way to Italians, now being known for their Korean ownership, etc. Without immigration as we have always had it, you would be shoveling your own and not spending your weekend on your boat or standing watch on the border or whatever it is you do with your spare time....

that doesn't wonder me in any respect. on the city the position I stay(in California), we've a 40% a minimum of Mexican inhabitants. the widely used public colleges are ninety% Mexican. and that i'm not exaggerating one bit. Now, not all are the following illegally, yet once you spot them daily, even in the course of the iciness, you are able to guess they are the following illegally. different smart they could be in Mexico this time of the three hundred and sixty 5 days.

Before not so many crossed the border as there were no social programs for them and back then Americans were not second class citizens. Now the government gives them everything for free so they flood in

Americans, I have done everything from construction to digging graves, worked in laundry's, factory's, so do not tell me that Americans will not do the work, if you read between the lines what they are saying is Americans will not work for substandard wage while the owner enrich themselves.

Those jobs were done by legal immigrants and uneducated/under educated citizens and in some cases students as well as new workforce entrants. In some cases, many of today's homeless/street people found employment in some of those areas.
