Don't the illegals only take jobs that "No Americans Would Want"?

Illegals aren't just persecuted mestizos running across the border. An engineer who overstays his H1-B visa is also an illegal, and might be pulling down that kind of salary - in an area like Silicon Valley, where that's actually 3k /below/ the median income.

Every single illegal alien takes a job from some Citizen. It makes no matter if that Citizen wanted that job or not. Also the illegal taking the job lost the Citizen the ability to potentially negotiate for a better wage for the job that the illegal took from under them.
Illegals are not taking jobs that we do not want; they are forcing us to take jobs at wages that are substandard and near third world levels.
They are in fact a method to keep the poor in this country poor and allow the rich to have a labor supply without treating with the poor in terms of equality.

Obviously, the Liberal Media and the Liberal Supreme Court and Liberal Congress instituted the myth that illegals take only jobs than "No Americans would want". I, personally, in Arizona, New Mexico, and California, tried to get a good paying job, but was constantly told those jobs were reserved for the Mexicans! Each of those jobs paid more than I was ever paid at any time in my life!
Of course, the companies that hire the illegals can pay them a good wage and save money; they don't pay Social Security taxes, Unemployment taxes, no sick leave, no annual leave, no nothing. The illegals show up and work, they get paid; if they can't work, they get no wages.
No matter how much they are paid, they are stealing jobs away from honest Americans. Of course, they get Social Security, SSI, food stamps and free medical care, so they are stealing a lot!

B Kevorkian is correct, some people need to do some research. Illegal immigrants are not all border crossers many are well educated visa overstays and many earn a nice salary even though they are paid less than an American in that job.
"The federal government estimates that overstays make up at least a third of the nation's total undocumented population "

That's a loaded question.
Most of the jobs for illegals are menial labor.
However, that substantial amount of income causes major repercussions:
-There must be a bogus social security number, or
-Taxes are not being paid to the government somehow, or
-Benefits are not being rightfully earned.
So basically, it is stealing money right out of America's pockets.

Illegals contribute so much to the Americans because they take jobs that the latter do not want.

Please show me what jobs someone that presumably does not speak the language or understand the culture can do that make that much.
I do taxes for several undocumented workers, and, I guarantee you that the people I do taxes for are no where near this. They are in the single thousands or tens of thousands annually.
