It doesn't make sense to me. Wasn't Americans doing those jobs before they did?

Since America first existed. That exists in every culture which has it better than another culture. We as humans have been importing people from worse-off places to do our shit jobs both as slaves and as paid workers for as long as humans have existed. If the immigrants disappeared, the jobs would still be done but it would damage the economy.

We are, and that single tear guy was a white dude.
I used to work in the field of photojournalism I was on assignment to cover migrant workers in border cities. The people who take those farming jobs are being exploited for cheap labor simply because they are absolutely desperate to earn money to support their family. They get paid very little; under a dollar some days.
That's a 12 hour day picking vegetables in the hot southwest sun for a few quarters.
Do you want that job?

I'm not sure there was such a thing as illegal immigration either
back in the day the Europeans came over but they were seen as being able to assimilate... that didn't make them citizens or white.

really? it seems that when US citizens were doing the construction and lawn care that the economy was better, people were making a 'living wage', a father could go to work, pay for his home and support his family and the wife could stay home with the kids.
as it stands this isnt a reality anymore for most americans because cheap labor has move in, undercut that living wage and they've shipped the money they earn back to their home countries so that when they decide it's time to retire they can return home and live comfortably.
how does exporting cash aid the US economy?

Funny, I didn't know inflation was an illegal immigrant.
And you think it's illegal immigrants that own the construction and lawn care companies? Of course not. Even if it were true that illegal immigrants were 'taking all the jobs and forcing wages down' who would be raking in the rest of the profit? The business owners. The money doesn't just evaporate- Even if workers sent a portion of their pittance wages home, they still have to pay for housing and food while they're here. This is just a bunch of racist bullshit anyway.
Migrant workers pick the crops from our fields. And you better bet we rely on them to do it.

ive found that people from other cultures have better work ethics than americans do and a lot of illegal immigrants are willing to do the jobs most americans won't, for half the pay

I wish we could keep this political shit out of the Pub. We got Pris in here doing his tired routine, and then everybody will come in here and state their opinions that aren't based in reality an then it just becomes a shitshow. I'm out.
