Yeah, until the illegal gets arested and you get fined for hiring them... good choice
Koosh, you're not realizing things correctly.
Not all immigrants are illegal immigrants, not all people American companies hire work in this country!There are three ways to show your error:1) Those who are first or second generation immigrants (legal
or illegal) have a work ethic from their country, either because they were taught these values or were needed for survival. Also, these people will work for less, as des stated above (post#8). Therefore, companies want less-payed better-working people. Who wouldn't?
For clarification why Des said "illegal immigrants" in his post:
He said this because the biggest problem, or at least the problem with the most propaganda, is that illegal foreigners from Mexico come and steal our jobs from us. But, they're not the only group that "takes" jobs from us. ANY immigrant whether legal or illegal will probably take one or two jobs from the "American society".2) Many "foreigners" who are taking your job don't even have to be near you. They could be working on the opposite side of the country!
This is called "outsourcing". If you asked McDonalds and Starbucks about outsourcing, they would show you that they have their chain restaurants
everywhere! This is what outsourcing is.
Therefore, people in Africa who do the same job as us get paid muc less. Why? In Africa, the average salary is $100 a year, so any extra jobs would help. Companies take advantage of this and pay them less than what you would pay us.
3) As I stated in gray earlier, ANY legal immigrant would take a job from us. Why? Well, they need to eat and have a house too! You don't expect them to be bums in New York do you? I mean, even the
illegal immigrants get a job.
The only reason we're even whining about illegal immigrants is because it changes the flux of people entering and people leaving. More people causes more competition, and since ANY immigrant usually has A) Work Ethic or B) Supporting family back home, they will go to lower salaries than us Americans and be chosen.
Oh, and so I don't censor any part of your question:

i was just wondering why americans, the legal ones, cant get a job, but illegal people can....
It's simple really. Companies don't care if you're legal or illegal, they just care if you can work dirt cheap! Ah yes, the American work ethic in full bloom.
