Illegal and Legal Immigrants Get Jobs, but Native-Borns Get More Unemployment
As someone who was out of work between January 2009 and July 2010 (and is currently "under employed") I can say that unless you speak Spanish in the Los Angeles job market you won't get work! This article from the Christian Science Monitor tells the sad, sad story of the impact of legal and illegal immigration on native-born Americans.
The article states the following from the Pew Hispanic Center study: Quote:

My wife recently applied to this location for a barista position. The manager called her and commented that she was well qualified for the position. The manager then asked if my wife spoke Spanish, and my wife said that she did not. She also stated to the manager that she did not find it necessary to speak a foreign language in the United States. The manager abruptly ended the conversation. What is in store for the modern American worker when he can't get a job in his home country unless he speaks a foreign language?! The illegal and legal immigrants have made it harder for native-born workers to A. get jobs, and B. get paid a decent wage. For many years I have said that immigration was/is good for America. However, over the past 18 or so months that opinion has shifted dramatically to ending, at least temporarily, all immigration into this country.

Everyone looks for someone to Blame. They should be looking in the mirror. I am still doing all my yard work and what ever is done in the house. Some day I will not be able to keep it up, I don't know what I will do that day.
I had a small roof repair a couple of weeks ago. The company is owned by White Americans, however who shows up to work? A bunch of Spanish jabbering Hispanics. I ask "Can't you guys speak English"? The one who seemed to be the foreman said Yes. I told him then speak English. I have said for about 5 years that all immigration should be stopped. If we have millions of Americans out of work, I see no reason to grant tourists visas, work visas or any king of refugge status to anyone. Tourists come and then just never go home. All our arguments about illegal immigration are failing because we are electing those who are advocating for it. Going to the polls Tue and voting is the most important thing any of us and do. Our choice of a good candidate is very poor but there is not much choice. All I can say is vote person and not party. |

Would anyone purchase anything manufactured in the countries these people come out of? Of course if we are talking about China, we don't have much choice.

You would not have heard this out of the media last year, it's a lot of what I've been saying over the years:
Quote:
What is a comfortable conviction when times are easier might involve a change of mind when the personal pocketbook is concerned as far as a view concerning illegal immigration. I know a number of Latinos who do not like illegal immigration, and not all of them are old fart "vendidos" and they do include first generation born in America with Mexican parentage. And not all support "the path to citizenship", I believe that figure is lower. I believe the 82% figure of the American born is derived by both the way poll questions on the subject were asked and respondents who have close relatives who are illegal. There have been illegals who collect unemployment under one name while working under another, and a period of genuine unemployment doesn't change the fact that California doesn't check the legal status of welfare check recipients. A person receiving welfare checks from the State of California certifies by signature and I believe under penalty of perjury that the recipient is of legal status.

This has been going on for so long that most people do not remember when it started, probably at least 35 years ago. |
