They only take the jobs no one else would take

August 24, 2005

I hear this all the time from people who just love illegal aliens. And it's a lie.

Do you want to know why it gets propogated? I'll tell you. The corporations are greedy and don't have to pay illegals as much as they pay Americans. And some of those corporations own a lot of the media outlets. So they bombard us with these lies.

Now, you know me. You know how I feel about legal immigrants. Not one of my relatives were here from the Mayflower. I have no American Indian blood. My father's side got here in the 1800s, my mother's a legal immigrant herself. But that's the thing. Legal. She was tested on things like the Constitution and other things about America that every American ought to know. Illegals don't learn this stuff, and frankly, illegal immigrants are a slap in the face for all those legal immigrants who had to go through loops and hurdles to become an American.

Here's the deal. Next time someone tells you that they do the jobs Americans don't do, ask them for a list.

They mow the lawn. Wow! I mow my own lawn.

Landscaping? My old drummer works in the family landscaping business.

Migrant farm workers? Wife's done it.

Janitor? One of my best friends was the janitor for our community college.

Hotel and restaurant workers? Done that for years before getting into computers.

Cleaning up the highways? In some states, prisoners do that.

Refinery work? I grew up in a refinery town and everyone there was white or black American.

After that, they still say, "well, I'm sure there are other jobs."

That's nice. But if you're going to make a statement, you need to back it up. And so far, nobody has yet to name a job that Americans won't do that we need illegals for.

Shootin' Political Correctness in the head since May 2005. If you're soft skinned or weak at heart, you might want to try elsewhere.
