You are spot on that analysis. Americans would do that work, if they were paid a fair wage. Instead the wage is a slave labor wage, and Americans naturally gravitate towards a higher paying job, if they can find one, thus leaving a vacumn behind for illegals to fill. This scenario isn't such a problem, that is until jobs start becoming scarce in this country, then the lower class in America starts getting squeezed hard. They're faced with scut jobs that are filled up with illegals and don't pay well, or a slack market for jobs that do pay well.

And the sad thing is that this is starting to creep upwards from the bottom of our job economy. First is was domestic laborers, then poultry plants and other manufacturing jobs, next are service industry jobs. Soon white collar jobs will be effected, and then maybe Americans will start paying attention.

The only way to curb this madness is to crack down hard on corporations and companies that offer out these jobs to illegals. Make it unprofitable for these companies to employ illegals and the incentive to come across the border will be gone. Instead, we should loosen the quotas of legal immigrants that can come in, and that move will benefit all of us. The immigrants won't be treated like slaves, wages will go up for all, and we can still take in "your poor, your tired. . . "
