~~~ "They're doing jobs that Americans will no longer do."
George W. Bush was 100% correct by saying that. The days of Americans picking grapes and figs are long gone; and even if they returned to those jobs, how much would those grapes and figs cost us today?
The jobs that are hurting most Americans are not the jobs that the illegal aliens are doing, but rather the skilled manufacturing jobs in Detroit, NC, NY and all other major industrial areas where big business is setting up shop off shore... Sure it's less expensive to operate in China, India and where ever... Besides, will the American consumer be willing to buy those products that are currently being manufactured over seas if that production returned here with what would have to be paid to Americans...!
I sure as heck do no know the answer, but I do know one thing for sure; we're being fed a line of bull while some fat cats are stuffing their pockets with $$$ that should be TAX $$$... That's what needs to be controlled. Not stopped, but at least controlled where they, too, are paying their fair share.
John McCain spoke the truth in Detroit when he said "Your jobs will never return."
