My grandmother picked cotton
My uncle is in construction (and the only non migrant worker on the site)
My aunt is a Janitor
I've worked in fast food, on farms, hotel housekeeper (again, only native born at the hotel)
My father has worked in Factory Maintenance
My brother has worked floor clean up in a Tyson Chicken Factory
So WHAT jobs are immigrants doing that Americans won't??????

I emailed Task, but felt like adding it here too.
1. I am not White
2. I am educated.
3. Lots of hard working Americans do jobs they don't WANT to do, but need to to live.

Thank you for this question! Americans do these jobs, and have for years and years......And we will again, if thats what it takes....I can name a number of American citizens that would take these jobs, and be happy to bring home a paycheck every week. You and yours are truly an american family, doing what you have to do to get by.....and lead the american dream.
This is the best question I have seen tonight. Hopefully others will feel the same.

They are merely cutting the American worker's throats by working for next to nothing. Of course Americans want and need those jobs, but as long as an employer can hire a man for a dollar an hour, the American cannot compete.

If America "passes" these jobs onto "illegals" they are condoning slavery.
Americans need to be willing to take any and all jobs that allow for a fully functioning economy.

Let's see!!!! Raping, murdering, child molesting, drug running, gang violence, living off welfare, to name a FEW!!!!!
And, to all the WHINERS on here, Yes Americans do some of these same things, BUT the "key word" here is AMERICANS!!!! Maybe we SHOULD be able to DEPORT all criminals INCLUDING Americans that have committed these crimes, but unfortunately we can not deport our OWN!! (UNLIKE mexico,who sends all their criminals over here)

There is no job Americans won't do or haven't done-that is just foolish idle talk.

They work hard using our tax money.
They work hard pretending to be legal.
They work hard at telling Americans we are lazy, stupid, white, spoiled, and undeserving.
They work hard at being victims.
They work hard at breaking lots of laws....(I was at Court today and looked at several dockets...most of the "criminals" were illegals driving without insurance, on suspended licenses, for leaving the scene of an accident, for spousal abuse, for rape, for aggravated assault, for selling drugs, on and on and on...80% of the people had recognizable, Hispanic names.
YUP, they work hard....

Most Americans do not want those jobs. Your family is an exception.
