> 2 - Illegal immigrants have changed the country for the worse and are taking jobs > #2 in particular has been framed as being racist. There IS a good deal of racism mixed in there, but the truth is that low skilled illegal immigrants DO compete for many of the same jobs as lower-skilled Americans. There is only one group for which that is true -- men without a high school diploma. Otherwise, immigrants are generally taking jobs that Americans won't do. Case in point, picking produce at farms. The last time they cracked down on immigration, a lot of those farms had to spoil a lot of crops because no one would pick them. |

Because the pay is terrible. Start paying well and plenty of Americans will want the jobs.
Working a low skilled job like fast food should be enough to pay for college so that it is possible to lift yourself up out of poverty.
We have created a two tier system and the educated class just makes excuses about why the system has to work the way it does today.
