Really? they should consider immigrating to Mexico then, here doctors make a fortune!! specially if they are good, Although becoming a doctor is hard, if you want to be a surgeon you have to study for like 10 years, physicians like 8

They make a fortune here too. Even our "small town" doctors drive Mercede's, Porsches. They make a fortune even if they are a lousy doctor. I've met a few of them. I've met a few really nice doctors that seem like they very much care about their patients health. Others could give a rats patoot. I guess thats everywhere tho.

I think I'll pass and take a rain check for immigrating to Mexico. I'll look at your pretty pictures when you post them.

If you could get them to even SHOW UP five days in a row, you'd be doing good.
There are no jobs American's won't do. None. The pay just has to be right. America's youth aren't lazy, and if they are getting downtrodden and sullen looking, it is only because of the way that the powers-that-be have treated them: they don't matter. Companies don't want human beings as workers anymore, they want doormats. We need a labor movement back in this country, badly.

Having said that, we have just about doubled our population in the last fifty years. I say it's time we cut off legal immigration as well, which will force companies to start hiring Americans. There are very few jobs Americans won't do. Most companies just want to cut their labor costs so they hire illegals.
I beg to differ, My husband came here from his country (not mexico) on a student visa..legally..paid and was screened..now he is a resident legally..we worked hard and payed hard and spent many traveling hours..for him to get to this point and plan on getting his citizenship as soon as possible..I agree with the fact that illegals shouldn't be here it's a slap in people like us faces..that do things the right way.If he becomes a citizen sorry to inform you but he would have every right that you do except to become president..and I don't think he wants that job.lol..It would be un American to stop foreign people to come to this country legally!!..The ones like my educated husband do great things for MY country and I love him and I love MY country...

Can you cite the source on your claim of American unemployment being at its all time low?

There is no money for the pay for all jobs to be, just right. This is a capitalist country, we are for maximizing profits by any means necessary. Why would anyone pay someone $15/h to work at McDonalds? That is just unrealistic.
