I stand corrected then. You're the first non illegal alien that I know that has worked those jobs. Silly me w/ my vast generalizations and stereotyping lol
I've cleaned toilets - both for pay AND for my home. Still cleaning toilets at work (where I own the business) and at home. And I was born in the U.S. - as was my previous 7 or 8 generations.
If we are the only people you know who clean toilets and are native-born Americans, you've let a very sheltered life! Ask around...and open your mind.

It's mind boggling on how some people pick only on that part of my statement yet do not want to recognize the difference between an illegal alien who's working on a farm or cleaning toilets and an american born person. I congratulate you on your hard work in whatever it is that you've done in the past and that you're currently doing.
I myself back in my college days was part of a cleaning crew for a while but that's not what I wanted to do as a career, and that's my point, some people do hard, manual labor because of necessity and their circumstances in life, like leaving their homeland while others who are born & raised here in the US prefer instead to have their hands out.
Now, again, I congratulate you and the many others US born people who clean toilets & work as farm hands but let's not kid ourselves, we both know the reality of it all, and that is that most of those jobs are done by immigrants.
P.S. My Sister worked cleaning bathrooms too while in college, so did my mom who was a divorced mom w/ 4 children and who never took a penny from anyone, and oh yes, I've been working since I was 14. So if today none of my friends and family work cleaning or in a farm, then I guess yes, I live a very sheltered life.
wow, are you serious? they come into our countru ILLEGALLY, then take OUR jobs, then take OUR money, and they hike back to mexico? ungrateful b---ards, the U.S. is still in better shape than mexico will ever hope to be in. them taking our money and running? that kinda ticks me off....
(I'm actually furious)
Ticks me off too... and it is more countries than Mexico... however, they really are just realizing the Capitalist Dream.... screw everyone else for your own benefit.... should be applauded by those who criticize it the most if you think about it.
I'm with you 100%.... Thing is, this is why things are as they are!
1. Too many Lazy Americans (today's youth) 2. overtaxing American business owners (leads to paying employees under the table) 3. Leaves Door wide open for illegals!
I have a 17 year old daughter who worked at Sesame Place two summers ago maintaining the restrooms. The stories she told me about public bathrooms turned my stomach. I suggested she could quit, but she stuck it out.
