Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?

To quote Mr. Jackson in the last article I read "In a word Yes" Immigrants want every and any job that Americans don't want to do. I Grew up born and raised and an American/Mexican. Starting at 5yrs old I was in the fields picking everything from onion,lettuce,pecans, and even chile. All I knew is that it was work and i was helping my grandmother make ends meet. My Brother and I were proud to do it. The Female who wrote the first article on this said she has been Jobless for two years because of Immigrants taking the Jobs she applies for.


Great news! I live here in New Mexico where I know work as a Manager for a major dept. store. but I Have lots of friends with Huge Farms over here who are always looking for someone who needs a job. So if you are willing to come down to New Mexico and work for minimum wage and you don't mind working in the Hot sun all day. The Chile and Onion Season are soon upon us. Pecan season wont come till the fall. But I would Be happy to help you get to work and pick yourself up. These are the Jobs that People Say Americans don't want. Working in the Fields, Janitorial work and other hard labor jobs. I am a Proud American who is also proud of his Mexican Heritage, And I know we all have to start somewhere and I'm extending my hand out to you. I'm sure There would be nothing in the world that most Americans would want to do than to take a Job away from a Mexican Immigrant. Plus its really hard to say that We as a people are funding terrorist Because with minimum wage jobs Funding Terrorist and taking care of out loved ones back in Mexico would be positively overwhelming. But I'd be happy to let you see the other side of what most Americans never see. The Grass isn't always greener,But the Chile and the lettuce will be. Believe me. Take all this into consideration and make sure you study and Really know what you are writing about before you pass judgment. But if you ask me the best way to find out is to literally get your hands dirty and do those jobs. Like I did. I am 36 yrs old now and believe me, My family and I have worked our way up in this world. I'd be happy to help you do the same.
