Do they(illegals) REALLY steal our jobs or do they take the jobs no one else wants to do? Personally...I wouldn't pick fruit or work in the killing area at Excel for 10.00 an hour. It's not like they are coming over here and becoming bank presidents, school teachers, consultants, computer programmers, nurses, police officers, or whatever...the jobs people want. They DO put a strain on the economy but I would argue the point about stealing the jobs. If they weren't here i'm sure we could hire people to work at excel doing what they do but not for 10 -11 bucks an hour. They would want 20 bucks an hour and then the plant would end up moving somewhere else to the cheaper employment OR a pound of hamburger would cost you 6 bucks...pick your poison.
