There hasn't been a job taken by an illegal alien that wasn't stolen from a US citizen, legal immigrant or visa worker, with exception for some of the temporary ag jobs, and even then, it's only because Americans, green card holders and legal visa workers don't know about them on a broad enough scale to get to them in time ahead of the illegal aliens who are all networked into those jobs by the cartels.
MW, the old meme of "Jobs Americans Won't Do" was debunked here at this site a long, long time ago. There is no job an American won't do, never has been, never will be.
When Americans decide to take action to fix our economy and create good jobs for our own people, the meme that we are somehow the "primary factor driving" illegal immigration into the US, is just wrong, because we are not.
Illegal aliens who enter this country illegally, are criminals, from A to Z, top to bottom, and they all work for the cartels.
But, if you want to think these people are just hungry workers looking for a better life by filling jobs Americans won't do, have at it, but I don't.
