"most American have mortgages, car payments, and other bills to pay and working one or two days a week as a day laborer won't bring in enough money to pay their bills."

Then work 7 days a week as as day laborer. What do these people do on those days when it isn't worth their time to be day laborers, sit home watching Gilligan Isaland reruns?

At least you are admitting that the day labor jobs are ones that Americans don't want to do. Since it isn't worth Americans' time to do them why do you object to immigrants doing them?

If those jobs paid better, Americans would do them. It's a government (both parties guilty) who've read too many books about the French Revolution and don't want Americans to see the true cost of food and goods. It's not the jobs, it's the pay. Just earlier, I was stooped over sweating my considerably sized a55 off in the garden, and I've spent 12 hour days doing that on weekends. I don't shop at Walmart either; they use underpaid labor too, by the way, the labor just happens to be in China.

Not all day laborers who want to work each day get hired for that day. Many illegal aliens work only one or two days a week, more if they're lucky.

Yes, for the reasons that I stated. Most Americans have mortgages and several other bills to pay each month. An American working one or two days a week as a day laborer won't bring in enough to pay all of these bills. Many illegal aliens live 10 to an apartment so their monthly living expenses are much lower. I don't object to legal immigrants working as day laborers. I do object to illegal aliens working as day laborers because they are working illegally.
