So maybe it's not always "jobs that Americans won't do"...maybe it's jobs that employers prefer to hire illegals for (at extremely low wages).

I read somewhere that employers actually want illegal immigrants because of that....that if the illegals already here are "amnestied" into citizenship, that employers will still hire the new wave of illegals who follow.

Makes sense, from that point of view.

 Geee... Remove the illegally low priced labor source and American unemployment goes down.....  Who would have guessed?  (Libs never did do so good in Economics 101)

Congress: Do your Duty!  Enforce Article 4 Sect 4 of the Constitution!  Stop the Invasion!

Look at South Dakota having dropped to 2.5% unemployment, what was this attributed to?  What are their policies concerning immigration enforcement or is it simply too cold for illegals?

are doing the jobs Americans won't do for peanuts.

Get rid of these Mexicans, and wages will go up and unemployment will go down!  Simple economics.

Prices will go up and profits will decline somewhat in the short term, but labor is a small component to the cost of most products.

And jobless people spend less money than people with jobs.  And people who get paid more can afford to pay more for products.  And a skilled work force can make productivity gains to offset their own costs.

This country did not make the gains in standard of living that it has through cheap labor.  It has done it through tremendous productivity of the American worker.  Don't let anyone tell you that there is a job "Americans won't do".  If Americans won't do it, the wage rate is set too low.

Illegals are turning this country back into a plantation economy thanks to the democrats and their supporters.

Here's an ironic thought.  The MSM was so desparate to talk down the economy to pave the way for a Democrat to take the Whitehouse that they unintentionally skewered their own agenda with open borders.  A Recession or economic slowdown combined with enforcement of the labor laws is wringing out the illegals out of the workforce and thus giving citizens a job. 

Yes, Democrats and the MSM, the economic slowdown was a Rovian plot to get rid of the illegals via self deportation thus employing more Americans and set the stage for the elimination of your vote buying scam social programs.  An employed American is not on the public dole and thus no longer beholding to the Democrat Party since an employed American is now in the position of not wanting their taxes raised.  What a bunch of rubes, you fell for it, and not only fell for it, you actually assisted our Rovian plot by spewing the propaganda to change consumer sentiment to slow the economy!!!!  Hahahaahhaa, Muhuhahaha

Coach class vs. deluxe welfare.  Who gets the best? 

The Refugee/asylee system may be the stealth bomber of immigration. They are "legal," but it seems that the legal immigration systems are so mismanged or corrupted there is often little difference between a legal immigrant or illegal alien.  Some are just lucky and fall into a better benefit program.  Refugees are given plane tickets to the U.S., and are on a Federal Program.  This is said to expire after about 3 years, and then these people are instructed how to switch to local welfare.  They are heavy welfare users, but are not often talked about because they are "legal" and you don't see them on street corners looking for work.  Many live in the better neighborhoods, are highly educated, English speaking  and qualify for low interest business loans.  You don't see them in the slums with pit bulls and gangs. From what we see in Los Angeles, many probably work under one ID, and recieve benefits under another.  Thus, many stories of such people with expensive cars and food stamps or getting housing benefits, and giving rise to communites such as "Little Ethiopia."  Others are hunter/gatherer types, illiterate in their own languages, expected to learn English and  adapt here.  Among those profiting from the system are the churches who receive money to administer the programs.  For more information search for articles at Vdare.com or the State Department, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration www.state.gov/G/PRM.  The refugee system is always seeking to expand and bring more in to your neighborhood.  Many refugees are from diverse cultures who practice polygamy (cultural wives), female circumcision, Sharia law, what we would consider to be rape and child abuse, violent family clans, extortion within their own group, etc. There is less checking for disease and other problems with this immigration plan, than with regular legal immigrants.  My details are rough and sketchy,  there is little published on this subject.
