Doing the jobs no american wants?

Question

thats the excuse i get from liberals on illegal imagration.don't you think that china alone could come up with 20 million people that want to BE americans?

Answer 1

You don't really have a question, but that is okay because your reasoning is faulty anyways. Yes, there are millions of Chinese nationals who would want to be American citizens, but its much more expensive to get here from China (and I believe there are fewer visas allotted to China).

Answer 2

Many of the jobs taken by the illegal aliens are low paying entry level jobs. These are the ones that high school kids and young adults get while in school.

Answer 3

I live in an area with virtually no illegal immigrants and oddly enough if you have to pay someone minimum wage there are people willing to do the work.  

The problem is not there are no people wanting to do the work, the problem is businesses do not want to have to pay a wage to get employees.  

If there was no one to hire illegal immigrants, there would be no illegal immigrants looking for work.

Answer 4

I think the number is closer to 1.5 billion.

Answer 5

Yes.

Thomas Sowell wrote an article in which he pointed out that Americans were doing about 83% of the stoop labor jobs, and the illegal aliens were doing about 17%  If you want to know a bit about him.. his articles are on the web.  Sowell is a Hoover Institute Fellow and a professor at Stanford to boot.

Americans do the jobs.  Illegal aliens do .some. of the jobs, and complain a lot about having to do them to boot.

Answer 6

Gee, I want to pay $1.50 an hour for someone to remodel my house, can't find anyone to do that.

Illegals do the jobs Americans will do for what the job is worth.

Even racist Pro-illegals know illegals take the jobs many Americans need to make a living, youde have to be blind no to see that.

Answer 7

Its funny cuz my sister in law (who is illegal) and I argue bought this all the time.  The only thing is she won't do those jobs!  She's a fat, lazy woman who has a daughter that my brother has been supporting for 3 yrs now and she refuses to find a job cuz she has medical.  Well while my brother is out there busting his *** off to pay his 1,100 dollar a month rent, she's at home sitting on her azz watching soap operas making sorry azz excuses why she can't work.  Then she goes and gets knocked up like an idiot and has another excuse to not work (oh I'm breast feeding wah wah).  Can't even cook or clean while she's at home getting her t*t sucked all day.  So at least these illegal imagrants are trying to work and not get public assistance.  I'm not all for illegals being here but I'd rather see one work than sit on their a** all day and over populate this place.  By the way my brother was born and raised here and he is not getting this woman her papers........I hope

Answer 8

Illegals not only do jobs many Americans don't want, but I can bet my money they are doing jobs even they don't want to do either. But when you have to feed your family, you do what you have to do. I don't think illegals are so happy in joy working as janitors, picking up the trash, etc. they just do it to make a living.

Answer 9

There simply isn't a job that an American wont do,that is untrue liberal propaganda.

Answer 10

There are thousands of Americans that are currently looking for work but can't find any.  Many of those who are looking for work currently are either totally unemployed or "under" employed.  Underemployed meaning that there are many who need to be able to keep food on the table, and because their unemployment ran out with no luck at finding a full time job they're now working part time.  I figure that there are thousands of citizens, currently unemployed or underemployed, who would LOVE to have the factory jobs, or the house cleaning jobs, landscaping, or construction jobs, etc., that are currently being taken by illegals.

Answer 11

i totally agree with the other person.

My mother put an ad in the paper for a secretary for the office.  3-5 welfare people would call a day.  When she said to come in for an interview, they said no because they were doing it as a requirment to keep their welfare card and had no intention of getting a job.  

It's really sad.

Answer 12

The people on welfare should be doing those jobs, whether they want to do them or not. The point is, however, that if welfare were cut off, they WOULD want to do them, so that they could eat and build a life.

Of course, liberals are the ones promoting the welfare, so they're not qualified to comment as you've mentioned above.

Answer 13

You bet they could. And a lot of other countries have a large group of people who would like to become Americans. What the government could do, instead of putting new LEGAL immigrants on welfare programs, is line them up with jobs until they get themselves established. If I was living in a cesspool of a country with a corrupt, oppressive government I'd jump at the chance to come to this country and pick strawberries or whatever.

Answer 14

Love it or leave it.

Answer 15

illegal immigrants generally want to be americans and live in this country. hence the reason they come here

Answer 16

Agreed. For half the price of border jumpers at that. I'd like to see La Raza's stance on that

Answer 17

Well, I for one have worked some very nasty jobs for little pay. I feel it helped build my character, would I wish to make a career out of those jobs? Heavens no, but I'm sure someone would do them if they had to like I did at one time. For some reason I don't foresee 20 million Chinese begging to immigrate as they have a disdain for America truthfully. Suspicion of us would be more adequate a word I suppose.
