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 !!!
