Only the jobs Americans won't do

[Phxdog]

We often hear the news media stating that the illegal aliens (or the politically correct - undocumented workers) pouring across our southern borders are only entering this country to ‘take jobs that no American wants to do.’

I think that’s absolute BS. I would agree that many illegals begin at the lowest rung on the employment ladder. However, I believe we are kidding ourselves if we believe that they are content to work forever in those low paying jobs.

What do you think?

dog, since we're in arizona, we know...it's everyone back in georgia that thinks those dang spix are taking our jobs...everyone needs to see the slimeback southpark episode (they took ur jobs!)...

right now a pound of bananas is half a dollar...how much would those bananas cost of they were grown and picked by union white people...10 bux a pound and taste half as good (slave labor makes things taste better).

Of all of balls that bush's dropped, this takes the cake. This is having a real effect on sooooo many things, to say nothing of healthcare. Anyone here from las cruces nm? i heard they were shutting down hospitals cuz of so many immigrants not being able to pay their bills. (wonder if that'd be a plm with nationwide healthcare and more taxed worker visas?)

I'd give it about 3-5 more years before everything finally ends up going to hell in a handbasket...everyone get ready.

I'd request that the level of articulation of the problem and solutions be raised a bit out of the gutter here. The way it's already going, this thread is not long for this world.

Thanks, Frem. I needed little encouragement.

Part Deux is welcome so long as it leans toward the thoughtful, rather than xenophobic.
