     In any case, illegal aliens are not picking lettuce and digging ditches any more. It wasn't that long ago that being a dry-Waller, brick-layer, house framer, painter, roofer, carpet layer, plumber, or electrician was a decently compensated, middle class trade. While illegal alien workers are only a small portion of many of those job categories their willingness to work at dramatically lower rates artificially drags down the compensation for all workers. (Scherer).
   
    That many employers pay illegal aliens in cash, off-the-books, avoiding all taxes which also makes the illegal alien worker have little or no income making them call  for welfare benefits as well. While in Mexico unemployment plays a minimal role in motivating workers from Mexico to immigrate to the US. Most household headed immigrants use at least one major welfare program. 24.5% compared to 16.3% for native households. (Dolz) MSN states that, "Now it is increasingly becoming the work for illegal aliens at far less than the free market rate( The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration)."
  
     Americans are not willing to work. MSM reports ad mauseam say that immigrants "are just doing work that Americans won't." Immigrants are artificially depressing compensation. Immigrants are the only ones willing to or do work. Illegal Immigrants distort the law of supply demand and capitalistic society. It's hypocritical to pay Americans more than doing the work. Now immigrants get paid less than the normal market rate. (The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration)
 
     Immigration reform. American opponents  will use it as a wedge issue and use it to blame immigrants. Immigrants currently occupy 8 million jobs in the US. Immigrants need to act as soon as possible when the act is done so that no one can stop us from doing our jobs. (House Dems offer legal status to undocumented in immigration bill issue.)
 
    Illegal immigrants are most likely to be found in California, Arizonia, Texas, Florida, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Georgia. A whole lot of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could be filled by illegal immigrants. They could take 300,000 construction jobs, 15% of 2 million jobs in the US, illegally (Wel)
 
    There are about 6.5 million illegal immigrants in the US. Most of them take the jobs that other US citizens don't want to do. The Main jobs they take are: cooks, Construction, maids, Agriculture, and grounds matience. If the US closes the gates to the Americas from Mexico would there will be less documented workers so therefor US citizens will get paid more than usual. The US may be foregoing 35 billion dollars a year to income tax collections because of the number of jobs that are now off the books. Illegal immigrants up heaves like inside Mexico as it supposedly prevents aggravation, not solving problems in the US.(The Dark Side of Illegal immigration)
    
    3% of illegal immigrants do low paid jobs, 97% take Agricultural jobs, jobs Americans want and need. 28% of prisoners are illegal aliens or regular people, their just called aliens. 5% have been in the US for two years or less, they were unemployed. While in Mexico unemployment plays a minimal role in motivating workers from Mexico to immigrate to the US. Most household headed immigrants use at least one major welfare program. 24.5% compared to 16.3% for native households. (Dolz)
