I'm so sick of hearing how Americans wont do the jobs that illegals do! WE WILL! we just dont want to do them for the pay illegals get.Employers know that, thats why Americans dont get the jobs. Its greedy buisness that make it hard for us to get the jobs for a fair wage. These companys would rather hire an illegal for less than min. wage or pay in cash (tax free) than to pay an American a decent wage. At this point there are Americans who would take any job even if the pay was'nt right.

Not to mention, a lot of them make $9.00 an hour, with their food and housing included as a benefit. That comes out to a lot more than $9.00 an hour! However, if you applied for that job speaking only English, then you wouldn't have a chance. Afterall, now it's becoming Bilingual (English/Spanish), or you don't qualify for the job!
As inviting as it sounds, this is kind of a trick question. I would do those jobs, but i dont want all the Government handouts. Keep the government as far away from me as possible.
I would like to know where the proof came that illegal aliens get these benefits? I would like to research this. T don't think any american would work for the wages that orchards pay these people to pick the crop. We furnish the place for them to stay while they are here, but when the season is over they go home. I feel these people should be legal immigrants and go through the proper channels. There should be laws regarding the taxes, health care, and education if they come here legally.

Barb, I know for a fact that illegals get all kinds of assistance, I lived among them! they asked me for help in filling out the paperwork, I even went with one to an attorney to translate,she was suing her former boss! I got medical for my granddaughters and if I made a mistake on my paperwork I had to go in and wait in a long line of what I am sure were illegals! [this is in fresno Ca] and do they have the corner market in suing for injuries! oh yea Americans would work in the orchards if they got section 8 and foodstamps oh don't forget medical!
Here is your proof! Ask Any American male or female who has lost their job. Who needs to feed their familys. Who are struggling to survive. Ask them if they would work the orchards with the same wages and benefits. I bet they would jump on it!
And no...they don't go back home...they shack up with 5-10 other family members in the same house and then reep the benefits of free everything. If you are serious about doing the research...do it!
IF YOU WAN'T PROOF OR RESEARCH JUST GO TO YOUR LOCAL WAL-MART.ANY SCHOOLS OR GROCERY STORES .AS FARE AS INCOME TAX JUST LOOK AT THERE CHECK STUB.THE ONE'S IN MY TOWN ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW YOU .THATS NOTHERN INDIANA.BUT BE PREPARED FOR THE REASPONCE. "YOU STUPID AMERICANS"
These people are making less money than an american would do the work for. How will we get our orchards picked or the crops in the fields brought in? I think these people should have to apply for citizenship and go through the proper channels. How did you find out the information on the benefits illegal aliens receive while they are working? I would like to have this proof. Thank you very much.
THESE PEAPLE ARE MACKING MORE MONEY THAN AN AMERICAN WOULD AT THE SAME JOB BECUASE THEY ARE ONLY PAYING 2% INCOME TAX.AS FARE AS OUR ORCHARDS .ASK THE SCHOOL KID THAT USED TO DO IT FOR EXTRA MONNY IN MY TOWN THEY CAN'T GET THE JOB ANY MORE AND ASK THE PEOPLE THAT USED TO MAKE FARM EQWIPMENT BEFOR THEY WERE LAYED OFF BECOUSE THE DEMAND IS NOT THERE ANY MOORE. I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP TO AFTER THAY GO BACK TO THERE OWN COUNTY FIST AND COME IN THE WRINGHT WAY LIKE LEGAL IMMIGRENTS DID.IF YOU NEED PROOF THAN GO TO YOUR LOCAL GOVERMENT OFFICE UPEN YOU EYES AND LOOOOK....
I've never done this before, but I needed a place to vent, so here goes... I am a third generation craftsman. I have worked in the Florida construction industry fot now 28 years. Over the last two decades, I have watched as immigrants from Mexico have replaced other professional craftsmen such as myself. My son and I completed a project just before Christmas and have driven thousands of miles seeking a new project. Unfortunately, with the downturn in our economy, projects are scarce. Everywhere we go, we see the same thing. Projects are staffed with a seemingly exclusive 'guestworker' crew. When we ask to apply for work for which we are fully licensed, insured, completely equipped, and supremely qualified, we are turned away. I might understand if we were given the opportunity to discuss payscale, and then turned away for being too expensive, but we aren't even given that opportunity. Last week we visited a project, with the same results. As we returned to our truck to continue our search we listened in disgust as these guestworkers lined the rooftop and laughed and yelled 'NO TRABAJO AQUI PUTOS!!!' Well....So to make a long story short- eviction proceedings have begun, my electricity should be turned off anyday now, and the company that holds the note on our truck has threatened reposession for a couple of weeks now... What might become of my family I'm afraid to guess. The other night I visited a SuperWalmart and was SHOCKED to see an army of Mexican shoppers with one and two carts apeice piled high with groceries. As I was leaving the store I noticed that one of these shoppers was paying for his haul with a government issued debit card.... WTF??? Are these guys allowed to come and steal my job, laugh at my disfortune, and buy his food with benefits to which I am not entitled? I called my congressional representative, Adam Putnam, seeking some advice or maybe even just a few kind words of encouragement, but have received no reply... I thought our government was there to help, and protect us... If any other nation sent to our shores an occupying force numbering in the tens of millions would our government protect us? What if these invaders were to steal away the jobs of lawyers, judges, or dare I say Congressmen and women? The notion may seem far fetched, but should things continue as it has, the idea is really not so farfetched at all... I know I'll probably be called a hater, but nothing could be further from the truth. I admire their courage and have often wondered if faced with the same circumstances if I'd have the guts to do as they have so bravely done. But, this is the land of my birth...God save America! and maybe save my family...please...

I will be praying for you and your family ED. I also will send your story to my local newspaper and anywhere else I can think of. Of course the goverment should hear your story, I hope they do. I promise to tell as many people I can about your plight. I have always been proud to be an American, but its getting pretty darn tough these days.
Instead of getting mad at men who travelled thousands of miles to get jobs and support their families, why not utilize your camera on your cell phone and let INS bust the onpanies that are utilizing illegals? They are the ones taking you jobs away. They have to prove that there are no Americans to take those jobs before they can use guest workers. Get your name and your son's name on every county unemployment board within a couple hundred miles (by Internet) and then when you see guest workers you can make sure these fat cats get nailed.
INS? IS THERE AN INS? I HAVE CALLED INS A LOT AND STILL NOTHING EVEN WHEN CITY AND COUNTY POLICE ALL know THAT THE HOUSE BY ME ARE ALL ILLEGAL.
ITS FEDERAL! NO ITS LOCAL! NO ITS FEDERAL! NO ITS LOCAL! INS JUST SAYS OK.
I truly did not know these things were taking place. As far as our govt. helping us, that is a joke! Our own elected officials have sold us out and they don't give a darn about us. I hope that you find work. Please continue to get hold of your congressional representative. Keep trying. Do not give up. Bombard the office with calls, letters, and e-mails. Good luck!
My prayers are with you every morning and every night Edward.
What is wrong with our congressional reps!
Shopping at our local walmart is impossibe with the billions of mexicans there all the time... wearing ther high dollar shoes and cloths....driving their new SUV's...while their using WTF...and foodstamps.
Education is an issue here. Three kids...three book rental fees not including all the extras involved. Lunch money is a real problem. Trying to stay on top of that...My kids were short .40cents one week and we were told they would get only a peanut butter sandwich and milk if they did not have lunch money by the next day. I worked at the school up until a few months ago and watched almost every single hispanic child get free lunches. Most all could barely speak English. I was shocked. What is happeneing to our America? What does the future hold for Americans? I am scared to find out.

My family and I did them back in the early sixties, without the benefits! tell me where I can find all this and I'll take my grandaughters so they can do the work grandma and great grandparents use to do! Pick apricots,beans,onions,tomatos, my parents worked as janitor and maid at motels in Fresno Ca.before the infiltration by illegals!
I am an American and I would jump on a job for all those benefits. Shoot I woould do them for half the benefits. So tell.... me what is it that the Americans won't do?
On my road to management, ive cleaned toilets,mopped floors, moved lawns, You name it!!! and i was happy to have every job...
I'm so sick of hearing how Americans wont do the jobs that illegals do! WE WILL! we just dont want to do them for the pay illegals get.Employers know that, thats why Americans dont get the jobs.

i found somethimg we all can do
http://ww w.avivgil.com
EVERY ONE PLEASE GET INVOLVED AND GO TO http://www.numbersusa.com/content/ AND TAKE ACTION!!!
The only reason Americans aren't doing these jobs now is because the market favors paying illegal immigrants MUCH less than the minimum wage.
Not to mention, a lot of them make $9.00 an hour, with their food and housing included as a benefit. That comes out to a lot more than $9.00 an hour! However, if you applied for that job speaking only English, then you wouldn't have a chance. Afterall, now it's becoming Bilingual (English/Spanish), or you don't qualify for the job!
well work is work someone gotto do it.
