this is one of the major fallacys in the immigration debate. The illegals are not just taking jobs in the fields, they are taking skilled labor jobs. Just a few weeks back, in Northern Kentucky, one of the biggest home builders was busted, along with hundreds of illegal tradesmen, for taking jobs that many Americans want, ie, framer, finished carpenter, roofer. The Mexicans were doing the work for $10 an hour, the prevailing labor rate for that work in that area is $23 an hour. The result is Americans that are perfectly willing to do the work, are on the street. Illegals that were IMPORTED to take these jobs were depressing the labor market, and the home builders were raking in huge profits.
