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

The answer is pretty simple and YES. It is so much self-evident that the topic should not warrant a debate. The immigrants do most of the menial jobs. Had the indigenous people of the United States vied for those menial jobs, there would not have been so many immigrants in this country. So those who blame that their jobs were taken away should blame themselves.

They keep blaming the immigrants, but has any one wondered why we have not so far heard anybody saying, "I had applied for that job, but I was not hired, they hired an immigrant instead? In reality, it is not the question of getting a job; it is the question of preserving the job, question of responsibly discharging the duties that the job entails. That is the area where the immigrants are ahead. They believe that America is the Land of Opportunity and the opportunity is to grab, it is not something that come by easily. Most of the immigrants work hard and saves money and when their money is accruing, their motivation increase as well. Typical American born knows the charm of weekend partying and knows about Monday sickness. He is always tight on cash and encumbered with credit card loans and hefty monthly payments. This situation does not motivate someone to work hard, rather motivate him or her keep looking for another job that would pay higher. Would anyone expect qualified and efficient output from him or her then? You cannot blame someone who may have put in one's life-savings in a business and expect him to ruin it by employing someone who may loose motivation within a short time. That immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want is time-tested and is a fact. To claim otherwise will require proven track record down the road.
