No then all of those willing citizens will line up to work for the prevailing wage. Isn't that what all of the close the border folks keep saying? We will see millions of white folks on roofs, busing tables, mowing lawns cleaning toilets. All of those jobs both blacks and whites are just itching to get their hands on.

Precisely. That's what I was talking about with the 4.7% unemployment rate versus the ZERO% unemployment rate. We need to get these jobs up to a realistic wage for AMERICANS prior to allowing non-Americans to take them! Who do you think is going to buy a 1600 square foot ranch in Long Beach for 1.8 million in 10 years?

Think about this, what do you think a house will cost if labor doubles or triples the cost?

The problem with that proposal, is that paying a busboy $12.00 or more an hour, will send most restaurants out of business.

And then there is the fact that many Americans really DO believe that such jobs are beneath them. Many would much prefer to get welfare, than to work. And yes, I know, the welfare rolls are down substantially, so let's also say that many would rather sell illegal substances, than bus tables.

There has never been a zero% unemployment, in the history of this national; not even in Colonial times.
