That's my opinion. I am sure others here will have a different opinion, such as there is no way we can live without illegal immigrants. But not in my opinion. The newspaper used to be full of landscaping jobs every summer. Now Zero. Did people all stop getting landscaping done? I see Mexicans mowing lawns and trimming hedges everywhere so I know they stole our jobs. And they are illegal on top of that so it's doubly bad. While tons of Americans are out of work too. And even if you do find a job, all the Mexicans are keeping wages low because they work for next to nothing. Time for this shit to stop.

they didn't steal the jobs... that kind of talk doesn't belong here... the jobs have been given to them and any sensible person (including you) would take a job when offered in order to survive

Put THEM in jail.

Let's see how long that lasts.

Who is the guilty party here? Who should be labeled illegal? The slaver, or the slave?

a government which steals the wealth of the nation, giving the crooks access to the US market with absolutely no requirement for workers rights is what steals jobs from US workers. If the Mexican government wasn't stealing from it's people, it's people wouldn't come to the US en-mass. I have never met an immigrant legal or illegal who doesn't long to go home...just not at the expense of their children growing up in the same hopelessness that they we born into. Force Mexico to enact worker protections, spend it's wealth on infrastructure, and allow for property ownership, and US jobs will flourish.
