Most Common Jobs Held By Immigrants

And Trump wants tp throw these people out because they are stealing "our jobs"?

Is Trump going to take a job as a busboy in a restaurant?

  1. Any homegrown American who loses his job to someone who is new in town and doesn't speak the language is a loser. The prevalence of anti-immigration sentiment among conservatives reveals the fact that the is nothing free-market about the typical conservative's economic thinking.

    1. Or, that immigration as currently allowed has nothing to do with free markets and everything to do with government. Why are you in favor of making "em-pooring" your own and facilitate the government regulated invasion?

    2. I dont think the immigrant who takes your job is part of any gov sponsored invasion. Do invaders routinely prepare meals and mop floors for their conquests?

    3. Conservatism was never about free market despite their election time blatter they're just slightly less socialist than liberals. As Lawrence Vance has pointed out time and time again that conservatives had at least three chances (Reagan Revolution, Republican Revolution and the Bush Years) to free up the markets and didnt.

  2. These designations by state may be missing one very important fact: Many, many illegal immigrants are in construction related trades. I know roofing contractors who write a legal installation crew owner a check. But the fact is, the first thing the owner does is go to the bank, cash his check and pays his workers cash, which never shows on the books--period. Much of that they send home to family in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico to name the largest recipient nations. So, the only tax paid by illegals is sales tax--in some states, not even that. Is THAT the free market at work?

    1. It's a good start. We should applaud any worker who finds ways to pay fewer taxes for any reason. I'd rather a worker send some of his paycheck back home to Nicaragua than have uncle Sam spend it on God knows what.

    2. Exactly. Do illegal immigrants make workers comp claims? Do their employers pay ss, payroll taxes, etc. Take that out of the equation and see who the employers hire.

    3. Not to mention they pay in cash, when I was in retail manangement I loved cash customers. Made my P and N reports (Profit and Loss) much better.

  4. When I was growing up in a northern NYC suburb - and even up until twenty years ago - whenever you walked into a supermarket, a McDonalds, a Dunkin' Donuts, what have you, all the people working there were white American kids, with a few black kids thrown in - again American. Even the guys who mowed your lawn or took you for a cab ride, fer cryin' out loud. Today you will see almost exclusively non-Americans in all those jobs. What happened?

    1. Yeah. Same here. In high school it was a point of pride that 60% of the students had after school jobs. Course that was in the 1970s. I guess these days the white kids dont have to work....... or wont. Anyway, somebody who comes here to work is fine by me.
