Let's hope you're right!

Employers who knowingly hire illegals because they want to pay less money to workers. It's not that nobody will do the jobs, but that illegals are willing to do the jobs for less money (for them it's more money than back home)

High school dropouts in the USA really suffer due to illegal immigration.

In other threads running right now the topic is some of the jobs they are taking and they aren't "dropout" jobs. They are very well paying jobs. But yes, the existing poor take a bigger hit than the middle class over all. I guess it just depends on your loyalty, poor Americans or poor from our neighboring Countries.

Indeed they do; as well as teenagers and college students seeking employment. Yet, we have so many pro-illegals who prefer to ridicule citizens who depend on low-wage jobs, rather than admit that this is wrong. Their usual form of belittlement is, “If citizens must compete with unskilled and uneducated illegals, they need to improve their skills.”

Most pro-illegals have no compassion for citizens. As a matter of fact, their disdain is palpable. I agree with 1AngryTP; clearly, their allegiance is elsewhere.

And lets not forget our senior citizens who have held menial jobs to supplement their fixed incomes after retirement. Those jobs are gone for them due to the hiring of illegal aliens.
