Why are foreigners taking all American jobs? (unemployed, interview, wages)

That makes ZERO sense.

No illegal alien however should be allowed to work in this country.

I think every American should have a job before any foreigner.
America should come first & treat its people first.

If they are not qualified they should be trained.

So anti-American. Yet folks seem to think it's ok to disparage the American worker with a broad stroke while they uphold folks from other countries as if they're somehow better than us.

"Foreigners" is the wrong term. There is nothing wrong with hiring folks that are here legally, already have a visa, or have become citizens. However we do need to shut the door for a while, because just like at Disneyland, this ride is full.

Aside from that, let me tell you a story.

A friend of mine from Turkey wanted to be an SAP engineer. His "friend" got him hired to work on a project team. He didn't know SAP any more than SOL. Of course his friend told him "Don't worry, the team will carry you."

Yeah, these are the folks we're handing our jobs over to. I guess if they speak in an accent that you can hardly understand and throw enough buzz words at you that you can, they're geniuses. What fools Americans can be sometimes.

I agree some have less skill and barely speak English

The question you should be asking is: why aren't americans more hard working, skilled and/or willing to work on crappier jobs like immigrants are?

Where is it written that ANY job is an "American job"??? The jobs are offerred by the EMPLOYER, not the government. They should hire the best value for their shareholders money.

It does not have to be the average person, but any American that lives and works in those areas.

He probably meant non-WASP people.

My point is, government should mandate business to hire Americans first before any foreigner.
