Yes, it does. If you are a generational American, why in the world are you competing with supposed illegal immigrants for the jobs they do? Especially if you are a generational white American and have not had deal with generations of discrimination based on your skin color, why are you competing with these people? Sounds much like you or many in your past may have wasted opportunities but yet have a sense of entitlement. I'm just asking for an explanation...
So now hiring illegals vs citizens is all about a sense of entitlement ?
Sorry my friend but we have not gone total open border yet where any citizen of any country can compete for jobs here in the US regardless of visa status.
We're going down that path but we are not there yet.
A U.S. citizen has the right to apply for any job they want in this country. If they want to be a ditch digger that's their business. Are you saying that certain jobs Americans should have no right to do? Are you implying that Americans should leave certain jobs to non-English speaking illegal immigrants? You can't be serious.
Read below since it is so difficult for you to grasp.

That doesn't change the fact that illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be rectified.

WASHINGTON — No sooner did President Barack Obama and a group of senators separately outline proposals to revamp the nation’s immigration system than the phone lines on several African-American-oriented talk radio shows heated up with callers blasting the plans.

There's NO reason an American of ANY "color" needs to compete with ILLEGAL aliens in the US. Sheesh!
I agree...but if you find yourself doing so, make some changes!
Problem? No dodging here.
Why should an American make career changes if he is doing something they like, to accomodate illegal immigrants? Um, yeah it was a dodge and I proved it was by referriing you back to your post #32. I suggest you let it go as we can all read what you said, you know.

You know what I said and I stick by it. No part of it is a dodge. Some of you whine and complain too much for me. There is opportunity to get ahead. Take it.

Illegal immigrants have replaced Americans in the construction, landscaping and other blue collared jobs. Many of these Americans loved doing that kind of work and were paid well at one time. It takes a lot of nerve to tell an American to change careers so that an illegal immigrant can have his job. Whine and complain? Why shouldn't an American be upset about that? The question is why don't you have a problem with that? If you oppose illegal immigration like you claim you do you sure aren't proving it by your words in here.
And yes, I know what you said in post #32. It's all there for everyone to read.
