Teens? College students? People looking for a second job?
YEP! Pretty much these ^^^^^
The "they do the jobs we won't do" is nothing but a BS excuse to embrace foreign law breakers. If they don't care about our laws, wth do they care about the country other than what they can GET FROM IT?

Same goes for generational welfare abuse! Get able bodied, minorities and whites, people in the game and off the dole!!!
Blame yourself for voting in cronies who play Santa Clause instead of doing what's right.

White trash? There are no other races living on the dole? Your racism is showing. The millions of Americans who lost their jobs to cheap, illegal workers certainly weren't on the dole.
People were different then. There were many more young American men who were in shape, mechanically inclined with a work ethic, fewer had college degrees, no real stigma to working blue collar jobs in most places. They got married and had families younger, and were willing to work hard to provide for them. Most people had a goal of home ownership and it was doable being a roofer or construction worker.
No, Americans then are no different than they are today. They still love blue-collared jobs and want a family and a home. The odds are against them today with millions of cheap, illegals sucking up all those jobs now and outsourcing.
The idea that illegals are “doing the jobs other people won’t do†is utter b.s.. Look at CA now where it’s overflowing with illegals, and there’s no way that they are just doing jobs others won’t do.
What this HUGE influx of illegals causes is the wages go down somewhat for the all kinds of jobs that other Americans actually would do. All of these jobs would get done without millions upon millions of illegals turning the country upside down. Like housekeeping. Normal Americans have done that for centuries, as well as legal immigrants, and the idea that this is beneath the dignity of legal citizens is ridiculous.
Farmers would adjust to the situation if there were not a flood of illegal labor available. By paying more. By adjusting to more profitable less labor intensive crops.
When unemployment rate is too high, you should even reduce the numbers of LEGAL immigrants, or at least, slow down the pace. Quota is important too. Let's have an honest discussion, shall we?
What a crock! And business owners who knowingly hires illegal aliens should lose their licenses, have a heavy fine imposed on them and serve some jail time. It is people like you that allow illegal immigration to continue. I ain't buying the lazy American BS and there is no right to come here for economic gain and take jobs from Americans. Americans have families to feed also.
It's not the job of business people to enforce immigration laws.

It is their job to make sure they are hiring legal workers. Why do you think they are required to fill out an I-9 and get a valid I.D and SS number from a potential hire?
Of the 472 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers even in these occupations.
Many jobs often thought to be overwhelmingly immigrant (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born:
Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 58 percent native-born
Butchers and meat processors: 63 percent native-born
Grounds maintenance workers: 64 percent native-born
Construction laborers: 66 percent native-born
Porters, bellhops, and concierges: 72 percent native-born
Janitors: 73 percent native-born

Just because illegal aliens are not legally entitled to these benefits does not mean they do not apply for them. Yes. It is true that illegal aliens have received grants, professional accreditations, loans, WIC, disability, public housing, college educations, food stamps, unemployment benefits, and tax credits from state and federal agencies.
