There are plenty of people here in Georgia that were earning a living doing work that has been supplanted by cheaper* illegal and immigrant labor.

Maybe you are the one that need s BS called.They are not working any cheaper.You talk to any contractor in Atlanta and he will tell you they are getting full wages and are worth it.The chaper labor is a urban legened passed on from redneck to redneck just like the one about the government putting all the Patells in the convenience stores.

Nobody said that skilled/hard working labor can't come from immigrants, illegal or otherwise, but if you spoke to a contractor that admits to hiring illegals and says they are paid the same as non-illegals, then you are the one buying the urban legends.

Plus, no one believes it was the government that put all the Patells in the convenience stores ... the government put them all in IT ...
