This study coming from the 86% hispanic UCLA college is pure fabricated BS.

La Raza has so infiltrated that school that it has become their base for the reconquista movement.

NO AMNESTY

Dumping millions of untrained/untrainable workers into a job scarce market only drives down wages and encourages more illegals to come and take the under the table jobs the first group lost due to gaining the right to complain.

These guys from FAIR are always based on "arguments" and not on based reality. On his last talk he dismissed the question and came about talking about what the problem is, everybody knows what the problem is, what is expected is a solution. FAIR = HATE

@victoria911angel Bull shit. You're either getting paid less than minimum wage - which benefits no one but the rich or any other American would take any job especially in THIS horrible economy. Listen, I do not hate you and if I met you you'd be a person to me - not a race or color. I am against illegal immigration not Mexicans.

@vivalaleta We were doing the jobs americans didnt wanted to do. Now that u dont need as anymore u want as out. Thats not nice. I came when i was 9. Now 24. I want to live and die in the USA. Why wouldnt u give me a chance? I have not even though a paper in the street. I donated an organ last year to a 8 year old american girl. Im a good person.

Here is a fun fact; did you see how the tee party movement was criticized by the left as being racist. The health care bill was passed into law and still no violence by the tea party organization. An immigration law passes in Arizona and did you see the violence break out. I do not see the left jump up or down regarding these violent protester pelting police wilt rocks and bottles, where is the out rage by the left?

I agree with "nometratesk" 100%. As a hispanic woman I have always known us to work hard at getting what we need and not what we want. We are never bothered because we don't have a steak for dinner. Frijoles are fine for us and papas fritas.

[nometratesk]

nobody white doing these job cause they rather stand infront of walmart with a sign that says i'm hungry need help...get your lazy ass out to work thats why i just passed these ppl by and pray for them

B. Study is off base.

[vivalaleta]

With national unemployment hovering around 10 percent and black male unemployment at a staggering 17.6 percent, it's just not true that undocumented workers are doing the jobs that we won't do. The Root's February article states that factories that get raided and lose their illegal immigrants have jobs that are immediately filled with Americans. This "study" has its own agenda in mind - it's bogus.
