If I drive 150mph and don't get a ticket did I break the law?
When you accept those positions you agree to abide by the law. Of course it's the immigrants fault. We are responsible for our actions.
How we behave when nobody is looking is just as important as how we behave when under scrutiny.
Exactly. Getting away with murder doesn't mean you really didn't murder anyone. Nor is it the fault of the murdered or of law enforcement. The ONLY person responsible for one's ILLEGAL actions is ONESELF.
You'd notice that many of the civil servant jobs in places like court houses, the county tax offices, the post office, etc that used to be overly represented by black workers have been undergoing a huge shift to Hispanic workers as the need for bilingual language skills has skyrocketed.
Is the government hiring illegal immigrants? If not, then you're in the wrong thread making the wrong argument.

I also remember way back in the day when you'd see many black people working good paying construction jobs like roofing. Today it's exceptionally rare to see it.
Yes, this is based on my observations in Houston, but it's up to you to ignore it.
Are those "good paying" jobs still "good paying?" If they are, then you're in the wrong thread making the wrong argument. What's happened there--and I've seen it, and I've talked to young blacks about it--is that black people are eschewing those jobs. I've had too many young black men tell me "No" when I've suggested it.
Now, when illegals are hired at less than "good paying" wages, that's one thing--and that's a fault of employers. But where jobs are still "good paying" and you don't see blacks in them, that's not a fault of illegals.

Really? I remember seeing blacks on most janitorial jobs. They didn't just give them up because they didn't want them anymore. Illegal aliens ran them off those jobs by working for less.

We were talking about trades, not janitorial jobs.

I'll spell it out better.
Due to all of the illegals coming her who can only speak Spanish, these offices need to hire people who are dual language Spanish and English.
Who is more likely to speak both languages?
It's not black people or even white people. It's legal Hispanics.
Go to any of the city or county hiring sites, and you'll understand.
I really wanted that job bicycling Chinese food across Brooklyn, but a damn illegal took it!
