Jobs previously held by foreign-born workers are being snatched up by natives. Immigrant workers are leaving the state or returning to their home countries. And, for the first time since roughly 2004, the unemployment rate nationally among immigrant workers may be higher than for native workers.
Those conclusions are based on an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data from the first quarter of this year published by a Washington, D.C.-based think tank and observations made by Southwest Florida officials close to the immigrant work force.
Some of the local officials were surprised to hear the unemployment rate may have been lower among immigrants during the recent past, a conclusion of the think tank’s report.
Others, though, are guessing at why it has increased. Aside from blaming the unemployment on the decline in construction industry jobs, they said native workers now are more willing to accept low-paying jobs that immigrants were more likely to take prior to the recession.

Trends show this is happening all over the country, now that we are in a recession. There was just a huge article in the NYTimes about this same thing in NY too.
So my question to you 'anti' folks on this board is:
Do you still believe this is a war with Hispanics that are coming here to execute a "Reconquista"?

Since when was opposition to illegal aliens considered to be a 'war with Hispanics'?
Since when have I claimed that Hispanics/Mexicans are trying to reconquer the southwest?
That was a nice attempt to claim that I generalize all Hispanics/Mexicans with illegal aliens but your pro-illegal trick has been overdone and overused.
There is no ruse here, no tricks or wordplay. This is a sincere question, you have the username "antireconquista" so...
What do you think about the "reconquista"? Do you still think this is/was the impetus of illegals arriving to the US? (Do you know what reconquista means?)
OR
Could it just be, these illegals were coming because there's work here?

The truth is that SOME illegal aliens, Mexican nationals and brown supremacists embrace the belief of reconquista.
Voz de Aztlan, MEChA, Brown Berets, and the Mexica Movement are some examples of racist, brown supremacist and pro-reconquista groups.
Of course, such a thing will never occur in a political sense.
In addition, I also don't like the fact that Mexico intentionally provides its illegal alien citizens in the US with defective matricular IDs, is always demanding more visas for its citizens (despite its citizens being granted more visas than any other country) and encourages their illegal citizens to use US hospitals without bothering to reimburse the costs: Mexico Promotes Free U.S. Healthcare For Illegal Immigrants | Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/http%3A//www.corruptionchronicles.com/2007/05/mexico_promotes_free_us_health_1.html - broken link)

Work for illegal aliens and the benefits that are provided to illegal aliens are the two main draws.
I oppose both but of course ethnocentricists, brown supremacists, pro-illegal advocates, religious nutjobs, the Mexican government and illegal alien-employing businesses believe it's 100% acceptable regardless of it violating the law.
