There are no unwanted jobs.

Illegals displace citizens for low-skill jobs because employers can pay them below minimum wage, something they can't do to legal citizens and immigrants. It's not a matter of them doing "jobs nobody else will," it's a matter of economics.

Most farmers don't pay by the hour, they pay for every unit of food picked.

Again, if citizens were so willing to do these jobs, then why is it that when farmers put out requests, none show up?
Where are you getting farmers from?

But now if they get hurt, they dont pay for it, we do.

I know my ways. So just stay back.

Good. Some one smarter. If you look at what's going on at Japan, you'd realize how terrible of an idea it is to ban all immigrants.

They shouldn't have wasted high school then.


what makes you say they wasted high school? im a senior in high school with a 3.8 GPA and cant find a job because no where is hiring because all the positions are full. how is that my fault?

im stuck with 2000 dollars in the bank to pay for college. ive already been accepted but cant find a job! besides, illegals arent gonna go to college. thats why theyre here. its the easy life here and they just make it tougher on everyone else by taking the jobs that the legals should have.

Its called buy a lawnmower and mow lawns or do some type of work don't blame your failure on other people and the biggest reason why illegals get employed is because they are tough and hardworking

The human element always mucks things up.

It's not just jobs they get. It's education, licenses, votes, healthcare, tax exemptions and pretty soon amnesty all on the government's dime.

No doubt my views on immigration will be considered racist but that's due to someone in jolly old England thinking it would be a great idea to take the scum of third world countries and bring em here in the name of diversity.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

And the U.S. is suppose to be a country of immigrants.

It is quite unfair how the last wave of immigrants have closed the door on the new wave, when they should be sympathetic.

You have to be a citizen to register to vote. Illegals still have to pay sales tax, fees, property tax, cell phone tax, etc. I'm not sure what "amnesty" you're talking about here. Or what healthcare (unless it's emergency room care, and emergency rooms only have to give stabilizing treatment).

1. Are you saying that picking crops are the only jobs that illegal immigrants are doing?
2. Yet agribusiness leaders say US workers are not accustomed to farm work and would drive up costs by demanding higher pay and benefits.So basically, what I was saying: economics.

You are totally correct they pay all the taxes but receive no government benefits because to apply you need a social security number which they dont have

So America should keep doing things simply because it did them in the past?

Besides, you seem to be missing the "illegal" part. Even legal immigrants don't think much of people exploiting the system and breaking laws.

All immigrants got here one way through paying for their fees here and/or taking tests on Ellis Island (For example). Now correct me if I'm wrong I don't recall a period in time where people could just walk in here without paying compensation of sorts and become a legal U.S citizen.

But like I said earlier, I understand your point.
