RE: Supply and demand

"These are hard working people who want a better life for themselves and their families and are willing to do jobs Americans won't."

That is half true (the first part) and half bullshit ("jobs Americans won't"). "Jobs Americans won't do" is a left-wing bullshit political line intended to make people more sympathetic to allowing people to enter and stay in the U.S. illegally.

As a teenager, I swept up broken bottles in the bottling room at a Coca-Cola plant. Once I swept up the glass and took it to the trash barrel, I'd hose down the entire room.

Another job was to shovel scrap wood at a furniture manufacturing factory, load it onto a flatbed truck and shovel it into "the hogger" which turned it into sawdust which was used to help heat the buildings.

Another job I had was to get up at 5:30 am and go to a local nightclub to clean the restrooms and wet-clean the entire nightclub floor which had beer spilled all over it. The place reeked of beer.

Another job I had to mow the lawn at the local Army Reserve training center.

Another job I had was to wash dishes at the college cafeteria, and to bus tables and wash dishes at a steakhouse.

These were all before I was even 20.

I currently have a teenage neighbor who works the warehouse and stocks shelves at the grocery store, and a friend who does construction work, and know a guy who used to be a bricklayer.

When I did commercial sound installations (schools, office buildings, factories, etc.), there wasn't an illegal person in sight doing drywall, flooring, tile work, etc.

So stop it with the nonsensical leftwing false notion that Americans won't do such jobs and so we "need" illegals to do them. It's a load of poppycock.

The United States has an immigration system which basically involves applying for a work visa and waiting to be approved. Illegally sneaking across our border, getting a fake Social Security number, etc. is not "immigration".
