Enzotiger and others who believe the illegals take only jobs that US citizens won't. Here's a Q for you

Question

Do you work in the state employment agency for your state?

I do. And I deal with hundreds of people each week who are searching for a job. These are people who are willing to take unskilled jobs if necessary, but can't find them due to illegals who have taken these jobs.
One gentleman who comes to mind was a stone mason. He ran his own business for 20 years. Now he cannot bid low enough to get the jobs because the illegals will work for much less. They can do this because 20 will share a small apartment or trailer and can afford to work for so much less. He spent his life building the American dream only to have it taken by illegals who are stealing the American jobs.
Enzotiger gave the example of janitor as being a job US citizens won't do. Why do I have 30-40 applicants a month looking for custodial jobs? How about garbage collectors? Even more seekers for these jobs. Construction workers? Even more!
Don't tell me the US citizens won't do these jobs!!

Answer 1

Good for you for bringing this out in the open. This is happening all over and never reported by the liberal media.

Illegals are the main reason a hospital in my state was shut down. Too many of them coming in for care and not paying. The hospital went bankrupt and closed this year.

Answer 2

I agree and here are some more stats the highest occupation with illegals is Drywallers and that is only 27 percent, meaning 73% of the workers are americans willing to do that work, but with the demand for illegals because they can pay them less they are driving the Americans out of that occupation and lowering the wage standards of other construction jobs. These used to be good paying jobs you could support a family on but not much longer will this be true. Turn in employers who higher illegals.

Answer 3

You have a good point I would have said that yea Americans don't want these jobs. I would say that it hurts the young people of this country who are looking for unskilled jobs , even college educated people are working unskilled jobs. Older people are having to come out of retirement to work so that they can afford to pay for medicine. There are just too many people and not engouh money circulating . things are too expensive.

For the person who said that Illegal immigrants only work in construction , ha . They work in lawn care , janitorial work, restuarants , Latin businesses , and pretty much anywhere they can get a job.

Answer 4

You are speaking from a position of authority, something few people bother to do. Thanks for relating your experience.

My personal feeling is that the illegal situation has relatively little to do with the economy. The stone mason example is similar to many, many other ones I've heard, most in the construction industry, and they are really tragedies. But for the most part, I think that you can go either way on the net overall economic impact that illegals have. Thus I think arguing that illegals have one or another economic impact ultimately is a draw.

Right now my bigger concern is security. If any person with few or no resources can cross the border, what about a terrorist with relatively large resources? And what will that terrorist bring with him/her? Sure there are probably a million people crossing the border for every terrorist, but let me tell you, that one terrorist per million can have a helluva impact. It only took 19 to take down the WTC and the Pentagon.

Answer 5

Thank you for pointing this out. At the plant I work at there were 68 illeglas deported and those jobs were filled with American citizens. Most of them were older who had been turned down before.
