As to you point of competition for jobs...Do you believe that 11 million people are in a state of animation waiting for amnesty to go to work? Dont you suppose these folk are already in the workforce?
Hilarious. So legalizing millions of gray-market workers currently getting paid under the table so they can be upgraded to fully legal Obamacare-eligible workers won't effect competition for these legal jobs.

And I suppose all those gray-market labor positions lost to amnesty won't need to be replaced with more illegal workers...

Also we're talking about people who freely self-deport (commute) back and forth to Mexico several times a year. You just have to make it a -tiny bit- uncomfortable and the vast majority would self-deport permanently.

The politicians know we Americans are so tired of their BS that they want to give amnesty to 20 million illegals to ensure their hold on political power in this country.

Frankly, those illegals won't affect me personally at all. I am against illegals just in principle. For most Americans who work in service, manufacturing, agriculture, etc., those are 11 million competitions you will have.

If you don't speak up against this crap, then you only have yourself to blame.

Not only is it a crock that these growers/farmers pass on any savings from illegal immigrant labor to we the consumer as they just pocket the profits but there is actually only 3-4% of illegal immigrants in the ag industry and related jobs. The other 96-97% are doing jobs that our adult and youth citizens can, will do and always have done but those opportunities have been removed from them because of illegal immigrant labor working for less.
