Why is everyone complaining about ilegal immigration? If someone from another country who doesn't know our language, has no work experience, no friends or family takes your job on the first day then you don't deserve it yourself, amirite?

Or they're willing to take lower pay than you.

For the record (I posted this) I actually meant to type legal, as you can see ilegal with one l, but either way I see your point Anthony.

Actually, immigrants with fake papers DO pay taxes. So a lot of them are doing jobs that most Americans wouldn't touch (eg picking strawberries, artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, digging holes, tarring the roof of a building, etc) for much lower pay, and they pay taxes.

The illegal immigrants keep the economy running. The poor people will do just about anything for a really low price, things Americans wouldn't want to do. They also do not take anything from the government because they don't want to get caught so they don't take any of the public services the government offers.

hahahahahahaha LMAO You are a student of the media. Leave things to people who actually work with those people. Listen to the cops. Go take a walk in their neighborhood. Then read this: http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20100428/cm_uc_crmmax/op_1913861

"things Americans wouldn't want to do." You're wrong. They would do it, they have done it and are still doing it. The problem is you would have to pay minimum wage to an American citizen but not an undocumented worker. You sound short of a slave master thinking the dirty jobs are best left to immigrants. That by itself makes it sound like they aren't worth dirt.

Actually companies get kickbacks and government jobs require a certain amount of minorities to be hired whether or not they are able to do the job. You would be amazed at how many post office promotions or other government promotions were given to a minority just because they were a minority.
