Securing Our Jobs
I live in a neighborhood where there are people constantly doing lascape work. One thing that I have noticed is that the majority of the workers for these landscape companies are of some latin descent. On top of that I actually have a friend that works for one of these companies he he tells me stories about how his co-works are mainly illegal immigrants. Does this mean our oppertunities as Americans to find jobs are being diminished by these illegal immigrants? This seems to be a major problem in the U.S. and I'm beginning to wonder if there is anything we can to.

I do not think that we should worry to much about our jobs being given to illegal immigrants because most of these jobs are hard larbor. I think we should be more worried about jobs that are being out source. With big companies like wal mart and hershey who are laying off manufacturing plants and placing them in mexico or india because labor is cheaper. Numerous amounts of americans have lost there jobs because of out sourcing.
If you want to go out and try to get a job mowing lawns, washing dishes, or busing tables as an American citizen; I guarantee you will get the job. I don't see any harm in these people coming in trying to live a better life for themselves and their families by taking the jobs no one wants.
