I’ve been hearing people say (whites and blacks) That “immigrants” steal jobs from Americans. They also say that “Americans would NEVER accept the jobs immigrants do”. My thing is if you would Never accept those job why the F@#% are you complaining !!!! (crystal skull face) . Before I begin I would like to say the is a MAJOR difference between a Immigrant and a Illegal Immigrant. (if you didn’t know now you do). I will ask three questions, then answer each question. (Please answer each then give your overall all feed back) ex Q#1 , Q#2,Q#3, the your summary. Thanx.
Question #1 : Do immigrants steal jobs away from native-born (American) citizens?
My answer is NO. I say no because we all have the same opportunities. In some cases there are exceptions to the rule , but in most cases there isn’t. Due to the fact that immigrants have the ability to adapt give them great edge, because native -born Americans are no longer acquiring and are abandoning certain job sectors over the last few decades. What are those job sectors you ask? They are day laborers, seasonal farmers just to name a few. I believe only when un-employment goes up native born citizens become more willing to consider lower- level jobs. Since native -born citizens aren’t willing to consider certain jobs, how can you say immigrants are stealing them you didn’t want them remember? !! That’s why it seems that immigrants remain a mainstream in low- end employment.
Question#2 : Are American willing to do the same jobs often performed by immigrants ?
My answer is NO. I find that Non-citizens whether legal or illegal, are much less likely than natives to be eligible for government assistance forcing them to depend on there hard work to provide for their families. I do think immigrants take jobs that American feels are beneath them. Some employers hire immigrants because they can pay them less money than Americans (due to the lack of education in some cases). Illegal Immigrants are another topic entirely we will discuss at a later date !!!. I blame employers for not following the guidelines. (Shit us immigrants gotta eat too). Yeah Ninjaz I’m a immigrant !! lol
Question#3 : How do you suggest we fix the job situation between Americans and Immigrants?
We are in dire need for both comprehensive labor and immigration reform. Employers need to be held accountable for who they hire and also how they treat their employees. When people feel abused, underpaid or mistreated we all lose! Don’t get mad if some willing to do some thing that you won’t consider period. Get with it, or get lost !!!

Your thoughts ???
I co sign with you!!! People”Americans”always complain about shit. I guess because we in a recession right now they won’t those jobs. They need to STFU and move on! Stop complaining about shit. Just because they came on a boat don’t mean they don’t work hard for the money. It take courage to leave your native country, and come to the US to start all over.
SMDH at people complaining

The word that should be quoted is “stealing”. You cant steal something no one else wants. Are they taking advantage of the countless jobs americans resist? Absolutely!!! Americans need to lie in the bed they made. If you look at the munufacturers of everything we buy and use in America, 9 out of 10 times the place is a third world country such as Honduras, DR or Haiti. Americans pay these people as little as $300 a month. Who do you know makes 300 a month? These American owned companies exploit people from other countries. This is how we have become so wealthy. Now lets look at the other side of things. What do you think will happen if the agriculture industry had to pay minimum wage to strawbeery pickers for example. The prices of food would soar!!!! Not only does immigrant cheap labor keep the prices of our products affordable but they complete the back breaking tasks Americans will never do for any salary!!!!

Lets be real America,it is blaint hypocrisy to be against immigration labor for the fact that America and all is might was built primarily on legal and illegal immigrants. America lays its bedrock on the talent and motivation of immigrants that contribute to our America way of life…..
I concur with all of the previous statements.
