We have plenty of home-grown unskilled workers here man...They are called drop-outs. Good lord, we need to import them too?
There are plenty of decent jobs for dropouts. Nobody wants to do the migrant work that Mexicans are doing. Take a drive out in the farmlands if you don’t believe me.

True, but not all are drop outs. A lot of people out there prefer to work with their hands, manual type labor, and many are quite intelligent, and prefer not to sit at a desk all day.
The problem is the wages no longer support manual type work due to low wage illegal labor, by the millions, in *every* industry where there is some labor involved.
Remember when roofing in the construction industry paid really good wages?
Same with almost all aspects of construction, or quality cooks, heating and air conditioning, warehouseman etc.
Industries where almost any labor is involved has been savaged by low wage illegal labor. With credible reports estimating upwards of 30 million illegals in country, not to mention anchor babies. For years now, Americans having been voting, screaming, demanding, protesting for relief, and saying enough!
It begs the question, how many millions are enough?
45 million? 60 million? 90 million?
And is this really all about cheap, low wage labor. Or is there another, sinister underlying motive here?
They've got to be willing to work, though...and by their very nature, drop-outs don't want to work.
I am not endorsing illegal aliens. I am endorsing a need for unskilled workers or the technology to replace them. :)
