The biggest hits are in construction where general contractors are cutting corners by slashing hourly wages to where only someone working for cash under the table can afford to take the job. Unfortunately the work isn't always up to code so it's costing the clients more to fix the problems than it would have to just work with licensed professionals to begin with. But the contractors lie about the status of their workers so usually the client doesn't know what he/she is getting until it's too late.

Know construction workers who've been displaced and have been a victim of an unscrupulous contractor that hired underskilled illegal subs to do work we had to have redone. The city inspector told me this is more common than not these days.

I've done cleaning, buss boy, construction, car washer,
I'm not illegal, I'm American.
Are there any more of your so called "facts" I can debunk.
edit: iloveehimm*!
your a child, you don't know a d**n thing about the "real" world kid. Go to ANY construction site, you will see Americans there all day long.
You forget, lots of hispanics aren't' racists like you and consider themselves Americans.
BTW, I'm not a Mexican and I do drywall for a living. So please kid, don't spew your lies here expecting us to believe them. Mexicans that think only Mexicans do hard work get no respect from anyone I know, and are not welcome on our job sites.

Im not a mexican nor am i illegal, but my parents were immigrants and i came to the usa when i was 4. anyways, americans dont wanna do any hard dirty jobs. immigrants are hardworkers and appreciate having jobs, so it doesnt really matter how bad the job is. they'll do it. theyre not taking the jobs away. if the americans wanted to have those jobs, they could. but most of them dont want those jobs, so those "illegal mexicans" will gladly take them. im not saying all americans are lazy and dont wanna do the dirty jobs and all, but the truth is most of them dont like those jobs. idkk. i dont like when people say the hispanics are taking away the americans jobs. it sounds rude. im an american citizen, but im also a proud hispanic. so pleasee dont make it sound like we're taking all the jobs away from you guys, cuz we're not. kthankss.

edit: yess, illegals bring crime, but thats not ALL of them. so its unfair to judge a person by a crime another person did. they're not all like that.
so we cant provee it? go to a construction sight or a plantation. i bet a whole bunch of them are hispanics. and hispanics are the most hardworking people.
obviously, you guys have never met a decent hispanics. you guys judge us as a group which isnt fair at all. we're not all some drunk mexicans in gangs and smoking shit. WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME. so its not fair to judge us like that.

They don't necessarily "take" jobs, they lower wages of low end jobs the millions of Americans rely on to make a living.
I know you don't want to hear the truth since your probably a hard core pro illegal that would lie all day and night in order to make illegals look good or make illegal immigration look like it's needed. But just don't be shocked when we don't buy what your selling Juanita.
Basically what it comes down to are immigrants or illegals that claim American don't do hard or dirty jobs are hard core liars (usually lazy and on welfare too). Ever notice how these people can never, ever prove that Americans don't do dirty jobs? That's because they are liars, and everyone knows they are liars.

iloveehimm*!, never met decent Hispanics? Sure I have, we have plenty of them working for my business.
Problem is there are millions of racist, conceded lying hispancis like you that are anti-American and are telling us that Hispanics are the hardest workers, this is a blatant lie and shows how rude and conceded Hispanics can be. The think they are better than others. Prison stats by race show they aren't.

We can all go back to washing our own dishes etc , like we used to , and I for one am willing to pay more for produce to be imported , if it will return the quality of life we all used to know .
You obviously don't live in Phoenix , so you are ignorant of the crime that has followed the illegals there .

Lots of health care jobs, lots of teaching jobs (because we have to pay to provide classes in Spanish, what if those teachers were moved to science, in English?)
Lots of technical jobs, the reason being that we pay approximately $11,000 of federal benefits to EACH illegal and this money would hire teachers, engineers, technical specialists, doctors, nurses and many other trained people we NEED to work in this country that there is no money to pay.
The illegals cost us plenty. Can you understand this or do you need to mix up some more Koolade?

The problem is not the jobs they are taking away, the real problem is that they are willing to do these jobs for less money thus lowering the standard of living of americans who are not willing to lower themselves.... Algunos Latinos/Mexicans vienen a bajar la calidad de vida al aceptar pagos bajos y eso es lo que irrita a los americanos que han estado acostumbrados a una vida mejor, ese es el problema

Its basically a double standard now that the econmy is in the trash and people are unemployed people want to blame illagls for it.
people say that illgals are lazy slobs and yet others say they "steal" American jobs .
people say that they are stupid uneducated and yet The Dream ACT wich is intended to give "lazy dumb illegals "who have graduated high school , the same benefits a graduate citizen would have " has not been past .It just amazes me when i hear and read all the hatred comments here on yahoo and how people are so ignorant and blind and yet so passionate about this subject and really have no idea what in the world they are writing .If they think the real harm to this country is undocumented uneducated, Mexicans they have no dead whats out here in the real world .
It amazes me how people still think 911 was done by a bunch crazy Muslims.
It amazes me how people think that we are America the land of the free .I could go on about many things about the real truth behind this invisible gov.but i would have to add so much detail

Ok, I am a retired contractor and small rancher in NM. I lost several contracting jobs to contractors who were not licensed, only had one person on their crew who could speak English, did not have Insurance, did not pay Sales tax, worked only for cash and paid their empolyees only in Cash, Took out Zero income tax, Social Security tax, workers comp, or liability insurance. Why because i followed the Rules and pair those overheads like I was supposed to! This allowed the illegals to underbid my contracts by thousands! Several times I wondered through work sites and listened to the conversations. I grew up with Chicano ranch hands and speak Spanish fluently! Talk about being racist the border jumpers sure are. They brag about being here illegally thinking I am to stupid to understand. So take your jumped up ideas about blue collar Americans and put them where the sun don't shine!

Americans won't do "dirty jobs?"
Maybe you should watch the show "Dirty Jobs."
When I was a kid, I got my first job picking strawberries, out in the hot sun for 8 hours a day.
When I was a teenager, I worked on a Christmas tree farm, which meant getting down in the mud in Oregon in the spring, planting seedlings and clipping branches in 40 degrees and rain all day.
When I was in college, I washed dishes in a restaurant. Then i worked stacking cinderblocks all evening in a block factory. In the summers, I worked on a roofing crew.
There's no job Americans won't do. But Americans need to be paid decent wages. Illegals don't require that.

It never occurred to you that all the years before the illegal aliens invaded the United States that the crops got picked and the jobs got done. The only difference was.. the illegal aliens worked for a lot less.. and were illegally taking those job.
But your comment is very, very wrong. In fact, the illegal aliens do about 13?. 13?f, for example, the field work. American Citizen do the rest and you are way off base.

The Americans DID DO these dirty jobs. Its just that industries like meat packers and food companies refuse to pay Americans to do these jobs. The companies know the they can get immigrants to come in and do these jobs for minimal pay and no benefits. These companies exploit a group of people only for their profit. Example: Florida tomato pickers walked out (mainly immigrant pickers) They got their $5000 a year pay raise. Cost to you and I? about 3 cents more a pound. We Americans WILL do the job, if the government stops handing out fluffy checks and allowing so many to come here to work.

Tell you what...let it be where anyone on this side of the Border run for Mayor,Governor and even Congress and that Border will be shut down so fast your head will spin. What matters is Congress keeps their Free Health Care,home and job with yearly raises,who cares if you lose yours?
You don't even know me but, can I just show up at your house and stay there because I am willing to wash your clothes and dishes? I am willing to cut your grass. So, I should be allowed to wear your clothes. And when you refuse then I'll ask you?
What about human rights? What about MY rights? Why are you cruel to OUTSIDERS?
That is what you are asking the government to do. And your excuse is because of jobs.
