Reply #66: I don;t think it's racist or xenophobic to be worried about Americans

& their jobs & wages.

When we yell about jobs being outsourced, is that racist & xenophobic?

We now have an unlimited supply of workers willing to accept slave wages. This in turn, is holding down the wages of American workers.

And many illegals are paid under the table; this means they don't pay taxes. It also means they don't get benefits like healthcare. So American employers figure, why hire Americans?

You see this constantly in terms of day laborers...ask ANYONE in construction & landscaping if they are losing jobs to illegals.

I recently heard on some news show that about 50% of the construction work in Nevada is done by illegals.

And calling everybody racists is very tired, very old, & very silly.
I chose to live in the most racially diverse state in the U.S.
