"I can't think of one thing an illegal alien can do that a legal immigrant or citizen can't do. "

Do you want your children or grand children to pluck chickens or collect garbage or clean bathrooms or dig irrigation ditches all their lives?

But you want your neighbors' children to have such a life instead of letting immigrants who appreciate such jobs from do them?

The American standard of living has never been higher. Why risk destroying it?

"The American standard of living has never been higher. Why risk destroying it?"

Oh, I understand where you're coming from now...we need two cultures...American citizens living high and the illegals living in something less than desirable. I see your point now. You're a racist and think the illegals should live a life of poverty in the USA.

Illegal aliens aren't immigrants, they are trespassers. Why do you prefer lawbreakers to those willing and waiting future immigrants who are trying to obey our laws?

Why do you hate Americans who would do these jobs?

Unbelievable. Said like a white "Massa" in 1850 Alabama.

"Yassa boss, we illegal immigrants do appreciates such jobs! Yassa boss!"

I want my future children to have great careers inventing and producing wonderful machines, processes, and new technologies that make backbreaking, unskilled manual slave labor obsolete.

I want America to be leading in the manufacture of those machines, and to be selling them all over the developing world, making greater prosperity and wealth for Americans.

Rather than have a guy plucking chickens, lets have him working in a factory making machinery which processes the chickens, or have him work in a high tech, clean processing plant which utilizes that high tech machinery.

As long as there is cheap labor brought into this country illegally, or by otherwise cheating the system, the natural market dynamics will never support the push to modernize.

Think where we would be today if two hundred years ago, instead of the invention of the cotton gin...we had millions of illegals working as slaves to accomplish the same function.

[Calico Cat]

Oh, I get it, Bayourod. Coolie labor, right?

And what happens when the current generation of illegals is too sick or old to work, and their children become too assimilated to take those feather-plucking, road-tarring jobs? Why, import more desperate third-worlders. You've made the case for keeping the third world uneducated and poor...after all, we've got to ensure that they keep providing the apple-pickers and chicken-slitters so necessary to keep our own economy going.

Pathetic.
