The Minnesota Vikings, as you may know can't play in their own stadium, so they got to play in another stadium and people were alerted about how they needed help clearing all the snow out. So, people lined up to try to get paid for shoveling the snow. Is this one of the jobs that pro-illegal immigration people say that Americans won't do? If you look at the picture I found below, you'll see a variety of people in those lines and let's just say that we can pretty much know that they are bonafide Americans and legal.

Actually there are many jobs the majority of Legal American citizens won't do.
Murder
Rape
Sell drugs
smuggle drugs
ID Theft
Tax evasion
human trafficing
prostitution
fraud
Just to name a few.......
Every single illegal commits at least 1 or more of these crimes.

Actually, we do murder, etc. LOL I understand what you are saying, but we do those things. The difference is that we aren't coming into the country and adding onto the problem. Illegal immigrants do that. They come in and add onto our already existing realities and issues.

Reminds me of the old Met Stadium when the Vikes
played outside and Bud Grant would not allow heaters
on the sidelines.

The day's of real football & the 'Purple People Eaters'

But the vast majority of the people who do those tasks are legal Americans...and they do them at a higher rate than illegals.

And no every illegal does not commit one of those actions.

Considering that there are more legal residents here than illegal residents, I would say that we do commit those crimes more than illegal immigrants. However, just curious, not saying that you are wrong, what is your source that supports your claim that legal residents commit these crimes nationally at a higher rate than illegal immigrants? Are you just saying that because you would assume that that is the case? When do we know that someone is an illegal immigrant if law enforcement is not allowed to ask these things in most cities or towns in our country?

Check around...lots of literature on the subject. Immaterial in a way though. Illegals do not commit crimes to even their percentage of the population...but if they did or more they are still an almost negligible part of the crime problem.

So it is generally raised in a racist or xenophobic way...

Really ?
Some have valid SSN's?
Some legally work in this country?
None commit any form of fraud?
The fact that we have so many criminals only stands to re-enforce our need to secure the border and deport every single illegal. We quite simply don't need anymore criminals and every single illegal is in fact a criminal.
