M.C. Guess you must be right, Eric. There are gazillions of white people
ready and willing to scrub toilets, wash dishes, pick fruits and
vegetables, etc., etc. Therefore, there are no jobs for illegal aliens.
Therefore, there are no Mexicans paying coyotes to help them cross the
Rio Grande.

Mike,
There certainly are plenty of unemployed U.S. citizens (of all
ethnicities) who would do such work.
I was one of them.
However--and this was my point--citizens wouldn't stay at such jobs
long, but illegals are trapped into them for the duration. The problem
isn't UNWILLINGNESS OR LAZINESS OF WORKERS IN INDUSTRIAL NATIONS, but
that (U.S. and European, etc.) employers want people who will remain in
menial jobs, trapped by their illegal status.
It's the domestic management side, not the domestic labor side, that
crave illegal workers. To say illegals are necessary because French or
American laborers are "too good" or "too finicky" for the jobs is
incorrect. A program could be created to use young people from South
Central LA to pick all the US fruit--however, the fruit growers want
people who would stay at the job, season after season, doomed to servility.
Eric
