Reply #1: Honestly i have no problem with immigrants. [View All]

But they are reeking havoc on the job scene here. Mostly hispanic immigrants willing to work for less have stagnated the wages. I could expect to make as much or more money in 91' than i can expect to make now for the very same job.

Also business willing to hire them over citizens has forced many citizens into lower paying retail jobs. This is because the manufacturers will hire the lower wage immigrant 1st(i've had 1st hand exp with this)over a citizen. Retail on the other hand requires a good deal of people who have a good grasp of the english language.

Last job i applied for before i was disabled i had all the qualifications, the experience yet they called me "over qualified"(yeah right! i only have an 8th grade education!) and gave the job to the hispanic who could not even fill out his own application. Last job i was at working, i got my seasonal lay off, and was never called back. Why? They hired an immigrant to work for less.

Folks don't need to even try that "they only take jobs we don't want to do" because it's utter bullshit.
