It's a lie that's part of the other lie of 5% unemployment. This is anecdotal, but there's plenty more. Just google "jobs americans won't take".

"AMERICANS LINE UP FOR SWIFT CO. JOBS

I have news which I'm sure will shock President Bush, Senator McCain and every other blow-hard who insists illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans won't don't--American citizens are literally lining up out the door applying for the jobs vacated by the deported and arrested Swift Co. illegal alien workers. (HT Miss Jessel).

As all of us have been saying for years--it's not that Americans won't do those jobs--they can't because the jobs are being stolen by illegals. How perfectly ironic--illegal aliens stealing everything from this country, including the very identities of Americans."

What jobs are these illegals doing, that Americans want to do?
**************************
Americans want ALL the jobs. They want them under fair terms and decent wages. Go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the IRS or the Census Department and see how many LEGAL workers there are in each and every specific occupation. In every industry where illegals are working the majority of workers are still legal resident aliens or American citizens.

Fair competition is good for everyone. Illegal immigrant labor is unfair to American and legal resident alien workers who have to compete with them.

>>>but most of the cases I'm aware of, they are doing jobs most of us aren't willing to do.<<<


American workers don't want to build houses? Next time you're in florida, take a look at any construction site you drive by and let me know if you saw anything other than hispanics. What you're talking about is chamber of commerce propaganda bullshit. Desperate refugees are paid starvation salaries and then the builders turn around and complain that americans won't do those jobs so they have no choice. Translation: "Americans won't do these jobs for the same money we're paying starving illegal immigrants". You can't see where corporate greed enters into this equation?
