In Response to Immigration News

The blog post, "Immigrants Gaining Jobs, Native Born Americans Aren't" from http://iirl-immigration-news.blogspot.com/, the article originally from the Christian Science Monitor discusses how over 13 million immigrants both legal and illegal have shown job growth. This is contrary to native born Americans, who have shown job loss in the recent years. I find this to be typical of how our nation works. Although some may shout that there is racial injustice in the workplace, I find this false. Clearly, business owners have found a way to give jobs to immigrants, who will usually accept a position at a lower wage than their white counterparts. These business owners think with their wallets. If it were white, native born Americans accepting lower wages, than they would probably be the ones getting the jobs. One thing I don't like about the information in this article is that as many as six million illegal immigrants have jobs here in the United States. Although this is a low estimate compared with other figures, 6 million people American citizens could have those jobs. It might take a few more years of a bad economy for some Americans to get off their high horses and actually take these "immigrant jobs" that should be done by our own citizens. Fences, invasive laws, and tougher border control may stifle illegal immigration, but a less lazy, picky America would allow us to employ our own tax-paying citizens, possibly contributing to the economy and slowing the major flow of illegal citizens into the country.
