I sympathize that they want to come north to get better jobs, but did it ever occur to them I don't like the idea of competing with people who are happy with less! I feel too much of their opportunity is coming at the expense of MINE!

My fault, I meant to imply the Undocumented Illegals mostly-they are the one's in demand due to the lack of costs associated with hiring "Legal" workers-although even the legal competition was not welcome at a time our country is crying about all the lost jobs!

It bothers me because what some seem to think are "low wage" jobs are the factory jobs, not to mention the various skilled jobs in the construction business, etc. And those were middle wage jobs for people that didn't go to college. Over 20 million people aren't working part time as dishwashers, fruit pickers and maids. We are having 2 more bigger businesses closing soon in our state that are going to Mexico. We are having more and more of those jobs being shipped out. This is putting alot of middle aged people who have children and mortgages etc. out of work and there's NOT many places left to turn. So it is taking oppertunitys away from our citizens who have a right to those jobs and shouldn't have to be competing with illegals or having their job search limited by "must speak Spanish".
I admire everyone who goes to college and gets a better education under their belt.......I just think many are going to be in for a rude awakening when they find out it's not a guarenteed ticket to the top and they'll be competing with foreign people who will work for less and there simply isn't an unlimited supply of work. Easier to get in.....but then the shock comes in to maintaining it .........this push for "cheap labor" at all levels is putting the American dream further and further out of reach for many.
Mexicans may be starting up businesses.....but they aren't hiring out of the Mexican group. With their push for "must Speak Spanish" they are again keeping qualified people out of a job because of their refusal to assimilate here. We're being nailed at all ends.

No, I'm going to college and getting a good education (which most people should be doing) so I don't have to worry about someone stealing my job.

Well I am not too worried about it because I have met very few that are smart enough to do my job. But in general yea its a problem.

Yeah, but only if they are illegally here. It's not right, they shouldn't be able to get jobs if they aren't here legally.
