I keep hearing how there are all these jobs that legal “lazy” Americans wont do, which is total BS, do any of you get that it is near impossible for citizens to take a job from an illegal and be paid as a legitimate tax paying employee, the employer has to pay you at least minimum wage, illegals are paid under the table which means cash, no taxes are paid, if they have a falsified/stolen SSN these illegals can apply for aid, welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc etc….! If I apply for a job picking oranges and all I want is minimum wage I will not get the job because there is an illegal waiting to do that job for half the price, they can afford to work for less because they are collecting welfare, food stamps, and free medical. What the hell is so hard to understand?
glolossa - read the question, we were talking about illegals your husband is legal as you state whats your point, and i didnt say you were lazy.
anti- been there done that, would do it again with out a second thought if i had to to put food on the table!!
bunt - that farmer has admitted he cant afford to pay minimum wage to get his friggin oranges picked by any legal citizen of this country, hence the begining of the cycle, dont worry i know you have no idea what i am talking about because it has nothing to do with compassion or race blah, blah, blah…….WHATEVER!!!!!! GET A CLUE!!!! OH YA, POW!!!!! ONE FOR WARRIORBABE FROM ME!!!!

I thought the illegals could not get any kind of public assistance their supporters claim, how is it here it states they do ?New statistics from the Department of Public Social Services reveal that undocumented immigrants and their families in Los Angeles County collected more than $36 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in January 2008, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Approximately 25 percent of the all welfare and food stamps benefits were spent directly on children of undocumented immigrants. The county spent more than $19 million in welfare assistance to the immigrants in January, while more than $16 million was spent in monthly food stamp allocations. http://www.the-signal.com/news/article/995/

A lot of people keep saying that most illegal immigrants are on welfare. As far as I know, you have to be a U.S. citizen to collect welfare, food stamps, Medicaid etc… they do get medical assistance and free public schooling for their children, but that is nothing compare to all the programs out there.
I think a lot of people get very personal or let their emotions control them when talking about this subject… let’s not forget that this country originally belonged to Indians.
For example: when 9/11 happen, I felt like we should had sent 10 nuclear bombs to all Arabic countries, but I later realized that I was wrong. There are a lot innocent people there that don’t have anything to do with these terrorist.
