Beast, "When the Irish and the Italians came to the US in the early 1900s they marched with the flag od Ireland and Italia when they would go on strike for better wages."

When these immigrants came into this country they came here legally through Ellis Island. The issue is not immigration, it is illegal immigration. Most of us have not problem with people coming here from other countries we only have a problem with them coming her illegally.

How would we know American would not do the jobs illegals do if they never get a chance to take those jobs. Here in Arkansas if there was a job that would pay $15.00 an hour I can assure you it would be filled by Americans of all races. My daughter and her husband are working on a farm for the harvest at $8.00 an hour which is the same job that used to be done by illegals before the owner was caught using illegals. Once he was caught the jobs opened up to everyone else and he still gets people to do the harvests. I don't believe there are any jobs Americans won't do, but the employers have to pay at least a minimum wage and that is the issue. Illegals are hired so that the employer can pay them less per hour than they would have to pay legal workers. What we have to do is dry up the job market for illegal workers by catching and prosecuting the employers who hire them. If illegals no longer have work in this country they will go back to Mexico or where ever they came from and stop coming. There may be too many of them to deport but if there is no work they will deport themselves. Our only ther option is to shoot them and bury them it would be cheaper than deporting them.
