Jobs, Americans Won't Do?

Mr Bush, I thought illegals were doing the jobs that Americans didn't want to do. Some employers like illegals because they can pay them less, and they have less of an ability to quit if conditions are bad. Americans workers are just so troubling...they'll leave if they have a better offer somewhere else, and they demand safety equipment. How unfair!

However, if illegals only do the jobs Americans won't as Mr. Bush claimed, and I think a meat processing plant falls into that category, then there wouldn't be a line.

GREELEY - The line of applicants hoping to fill jobs vacated by undocumented workers taken away by immigration agents at the Swift & Co. meat-processing plant earlier this week was out the door Thursday.

Among them was Derrick Stegall, who carefully filled out paperwork he hoped would get him an interview and eventually land him a job as a slaughterer...

Bonifacio was hoping to get a job in production or fabrication. So was Nathan Korgan, a former construction worker whose company closed and moved to California.

"I feel bad for the kids, but good for me," said Korgan of Tuesday's raid.
