Jobs Americans don't want?
I get tired of hearing freepers saying that the Illegal aliens take the jobs americans don't want. Bull Shit I say, these are the jobs employers don't want to pay a living wage for!!! These employers ought to be made and try to live on these wages with no health insurance and the high cost of living. Gas, Housing , food, health care,etc. etc. etc., let them see if they can make it on these trifling, paltry wages. Maybe they get a better Understanding of what it's like. Congress can't find it in themselves to vote in a decent living wage for Americans, but has no problem voting itself a raise every year. Must be nice, eh!!!!!!!

2. Director of FEMA.
B-)

Your analysis is dead-on. Americans would want those jobs if Corporate America would pay what they're worth.

3. Exactly right.
I hate that bullshit meme. There's no job I wouldn't do for a fair wage, except ones that conflicted with my beliefs, of course, or that were so bloody or gross that I actually *couldn't* do it. It's sad how often the more distateful the work, the less it pays. It ought to be the other way around. People who say that ought to think to themselves, "What would this job have to pay before I'd take it?" And that's what they should consider worth paying for ANYONE to work that job.
