Immigrant Jobs?

Question

why do the illegal immigrants say they are taking jobs the americans wont take. they aren't, they're taking jobs the americans will take for honest pay, but the immigrants are taking those jobs for almost no pay, so the employers are laying off the americans and hireing the immigrants. so no they aren't taking the jobs americans won't, they are taking the jobs from the americans.

true it is mostly the employars fault

Answer 1

It doesn't matter what jobs Mexicans have or don't have.
Statistics prove, they receive Welfare, Foodstamps, Free Health care, low cost housing and free education IN ADDITION to whatever income wage they earn.
BUT~
It doesn't stop there, they also PAY NO TAXES!

Answer 2

I think the illegals and the business owners that hire them should be put in jail together. If the business owners thinks that it's not their business to know the status of the their employees let then share a jail cell and get to know each other better. Also when a illegal is caught have them testify against their employers and if they are not being paid the legal wage, make the employer paid back wages

Answer 3

My family owns 2 large farms. No illegal alien is ever hired on either. We have no trouble hiring help when needed. Why?
Because decent wages are offered. Both farms are profitable, so forget the claim that agri can't pay for American wage demands and maintain affordable prices for food.
Why is that when plants are raided by ICE and illegals removed, that Americans line up to apply for jobs?
They are taking jobs, depressing wages and reaping social service benefits, free education and health care, overburdening those systems.
They have no rational defense, so they invent excuses.

Answer 4

Exactly!! ok ok, they can have the grape picking jobs. Only thing is, we dont need the whole country of mexico up here to do that. We only need maybe a couple thousand.
They talk alot of crap about America and Americans, why are alot of Americans accepting this?
FYI, our landscapers at this one job I worked a made 15 dollars an hour. Alot of them were illegal and using stolen Id's

Answer 5

All of these issues will be taken care of in time. The amnesty bill failed by will of the USA citizens we have spoken our law will be enforced, borders closed & the fence built.The jobs worked by illegals will be replace by legals with fare wages, or like in AZ there using prisioners to work in the fields good plan.The states are enforeing the laws fining the empolyers.
No jobs No pay No stay.

Gang expert backs Tancredo charges
Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, here’s a nice little piece about how the bad guys are taking over, little by little.

WASHINGTON – Rep. Tom Tancredo’s charge that Mexican drug cartels are buying up legitimate businesses in U.S. cities to launder money and using some of the proceeds to win local mayoral and city council seats for politicians who can shape the policies and personnel decisions of their police forces, has been backed up by a veteran gang investigator.

Richard Valdemar, a retired sergeant with the L.A. County sheriff’s department and a longtime member of a federal task force investigating gang activity, went beyond the charges made by Tancredo, the chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus who has led the fight to secure America’s southern border.

In fact, he cited first-hand experience in investigating attempts to take over seven cities in Los Angeles County – Southgate, Lynwood, Bell, Bell Gardens, Cudahy, Hawaiian Gardens and Huntington Park.

He also told WND in an exclusive interview that he has since become aware of similar efforts by Mexican drug cartels throughout the Southwest – in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.

And here’s how they do it:

“In the typical scenario, a wealthy Mexican immigrant opens a business in a small town,” he says. “It could be a very nice Mexican restaurant. He’s well-dressed, speaks English, seemingly a real gentleman. He gets involved in the community. His business welcomes police officers with discounts. He makes friends with city officials and other businessmen. No one has any idea where his money comes from – the Mexican drug cartels.”

Valdemar says the agent of the cartels often sets up other businesses – including the sale of cheap used tires and used autos. These businesses are used almost exclusively as fronts for laundering money.

Then he begins targeting political power in the town. When election time rolls around, Valdemar says, he sponsors – directly or indirectly – a number of candidates for the city council with the express purpose of winning a majority of seats for his handpicked operatives. Some of the candidates are simply in place to level baseless accusations against incumbents, while others keep above the fray, positioning themselves for victory.

As soon as they take power, the new majority fires the city attorney and names a replacement. Often the second city official to go is the city manager. Both of these moves are designed to cover up the illicit activities that will follow.

City contracts for trash collection and other services are given to friendly businesses – also in league with the cartel. Regulations on auto-repair businesses and alcohol sales are lifted – again, making it easier for cartel-tied businesses to operate more freely. Gambling ordinances are changed to permit casinos and bingo parlors. Loan sharking, prostitution and increased drug business follow – all of which increase revenues for the cartels and power for their agents in the city.

Valdemar says very few prosecutions are successful because of the wealth and political ties of those involved. The situation in the Southwest is grave, he says, and the problem is spreading nationwide.

“We lost California,” the Arizona resident says. “That’s why I don’t live there any more.”

Nice, eh? After reading this, I hope you can sleep at night, because this is going to bother me for a while.

Answer 7

Well to be honest, this issue isn't about the illegals takings jobs. It's about the people who hire them (knowingly). So as long as the laws aren't enforced they will continue to hire them.

Answer 8

We need to go after those unethical employers. They are as much to blame as anyone else.

Answer 9

Because dumb fat lazy yanks won't do the ****
