Are illegals taking the jobs that would otherwise go abroad?

someone said that illegals are doing us a favor keeping companies here in america by them (illegals) working for a lower wage, thus making them competitive. i say, thats cool...how charitable of you... to keep OUR jobs here in AMERICA, but now YOU (the illegals) have taken an AMERICANS JOB away from an american. Therefore making these traitor companies richer and helping them backstab the american worker all the more, thus not helping one darn bit...go home

Answer:
Who did those jobs before the illegals came here like a large gaggle of roaches? The Americans did them. They got paid for them, too.

Illegals and pro-illegals don't want to admit that, though, because that would actually require some THOUGHT.

*Bows*
Oh come on.

Very few illegals work for companies.

I rather doubt that the Chinese are going to come over here and mow your lawn or pick your crops.
no, most illegals work in housing construction and fast food and nannying type jobs, jobs that must be located on US soil
You mean like housekeeping or babysitting? I doubt it unless the house and the kids go abroad first.
the american men complaing about the (illegals) taking all the jobs but can they say them selves that they will work for that low of a wage if the illegals stopped working who would do it
om babe this question is the hundredth time asked do some research and thanxs for the two points sorry about your five
Honestly, you really shouldn't talk until you get your facts straight. Meanwhile why don't you get off the computer and go find a job, and stop blaming other people for your problems.
No not really illegals are basically taking jobs that we as americans look down on. Sorry but when people say that illegals are taking are jobs i find that hard to believe when most 16 years olds won't work at mcdonalds what are they supposed to do of course hire illegals at least there not drug addicts!
People that are illegal are for sure not doing white collar jobs. A lot of jobs going abroad are IT jobs going to India.
No, they take jobs that cannot be outsourced.
thats stupid...theyre not takin jobs away since they actually do jobs that americans dont wanna do...plus they get paid about the same so if a more qualified american would apply for the same job, im sure the american would get it...its about work ethic and americans arent willing to do the same work so immigrants are not stealing jobs.look in the classifieds and ull see there are plenty of job openings...and immigrants with low levels of education are not threatening the jobs that are actualy worthwhile anyway
Like what, mowing lawns and scrubbing toilets..
who the hell wants to do that. You can have that job if you'd like,But i sure don't. Let those illegals clean our houses, mow the lawns, scrub the toilets and clean our pools..
Or is it that you live in a trailer and those are the types of jobs you want to make a career out of..
well most of you are wrong!!My job went to Mexico and then they complained they couldn't make production doing the same work I did.They had the same hours,same pay.So now that company is now in India where they truly work for nothing.If you shop wal-mart you buy the clothes.And the construction work done in New Orleans was illegals brought from Texas getting $17 to 20 an hour.Why didn't they hire the workers in N Orleans who wanted to come back?? so yes they do take our jobs,personal experience.
No. because the skanks on welfare who abuse the system aren't doing them either. Why don't these creeps get dissed instead of someone who will actually work???
Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
