The Myth of "Jobs That Americans Won't Do"
Doug Kendall
June 14, 2005

A lot of government officials, and media folks, attempt to convince us that illegal immigration isn’t such a bad thing, because illegal immigrants are “doing jobs that Americans won’t do.� Sorry, but Americans will do just about anything, if the money is right.

It’s not that there are “jobs that Americans won’t do,� it’s the simple fact that Americans don’t want to be paid chicken feed for the work that they do. Since some businesses don’t want to pay what workers feel the job should pay, the jobs go unfilled. These businesses instead hire illegal aliens and attempt to justify it by saying that Americans don’t want to do the jobs.

Ask any doctor in the USA if he would work for minimum wage and he’ll laugh at you, because he has gone through years of training and he feels his work is worth more than that. It’s the same mentality with any worker, whether or not their feelings (and pay grade) are justified.

Through welfare (redistribution of wealth), our government has created a dependent society: “Why should I go out and get a low-paying job when I can sit on my butt and draw a government check for almost as much?�

When it comes to unskilled workers, many people have gotten used to government (tax-payer) handouts. People with this type of mentality expect something for nothing. They want a nice paycheck, but they don’t want to have to put in a lot of effort.

Liberals whine about raising the minimum wageâ€â€

GREAT POST BUTTERBEAN. This says it ALL

GOOD ONE BUTTERBEAN!!

Just finished saying my prayer.

We can arrest him for impersonating Vicente Fox.

Yes, Brian503a--then we can just turn him over to the Mexicans and let THEM worry about what to do with him! I'm sure they have some rule for impersonating the Leader of FoxLand!!

Maybe.....we'll get lucky and Amnesty International will sneak in a camera, get a goooood shot of "whoever it is" in their shorts, and zip it off to the Guardian!

The American Press will pick up on THAT one and alert the Pubs they need to change their button to:

"Viva Oops"

(Now, that's a way to get rid of that Button!)

Right on, Butterbean. The truth in fine print.
