Study Shows Illegals Are Taking American Jobs
USA Today/The_lid ^ | 9/14/09 | The Lid

Too many people on the liberal side of the fence argue that illegal immigration is a racial issue. They believe that those of us who want to protect the US boarders are inspired by racism, trying to keep out Hispanics. The Hezbollah Mole in the CIA case (Nada Nadim Prouty) and the terrorists targeting Army base after sneaking over the boarders, highlight the reasons we want true immigration reform without amnesty. How many others are out there-not to gather information but to launch terror attacks when the time is right. It is more difficult to launch an attack when you can't get in the country.

But if you listen to the illegal immigrant supporters , it is important to admit the people who are in the country illegally are doing the Jobs that American's refuse to do. A new study, by the Center for Immigration Studies, shows that particular claim is not true. The fact is, illegal's are taking jobs from American Citizens and others who are legally in the country:

I work on a very large construction job just outside of Washington D.C.

There are sooooo many "foreigners" that there is a constant need for a translator.

I just keep wondering how many AMERICANS would LOVE to be able to work at these jobs instead so that they may be able to, oh I don't know..... Keep their houses, their families from being on the streets and their dignity.

But hell, it is cheaper to use those who can't speak the language cuz after all, they are only doing jobs that Americans won't do. /sarc

Maybe the next Tea Party should be a human fence on the southern border.

Well, we should put a stop to that by raising the minimum wage again.

Well, I guess you could refer to illegal aliens as "boarders" since they aren't citizens...and the liberals do want to protect them.

But I know that really confuses the message.

So, it must be just a coincidence that wages have been pretty flat since immigration levels rose...

Cue the Captain Obvious graphic.

Ya get 20-30 under one roof and carpooling (usually all in one car) sharing living expenses and they need less and will work for less and get the jobs.

We should put a stop to it by throwing out the aliens and slashing welfare:

1. Any drug use would immediately cancel their benefits.
2. Any unauthorized "house guests" would cancel benefits.
3. There should be a serious work requirement.
4. They should have a "welfare narc" anonymous hotline.
5. Benefits should expire after a time certain.
6. There should be extensive prison chain-gang paid labor and skilled labor crews to re-orient criminals to a work ethic.
