The business are inviting them here... and they are just taking the jobs that Americans don't want.

Tequila, there is nothing special or miraculous about this land. It was the people's sweat and blood that made this nation great. The land is just that... land. Our families literally built this nation from the ground up. Most of that happened after the 1870's when America truly became industrialized. Before that it was just soil. The illegal aliens don't have the same family investment that we have.
Are there Americans of Hispanic decent that have the same investment? Of course. There have been Hispanic families here since before the U.S. even existed. And yes, they have just as much right to be here as anyone else. They are invested in America.

There is a good reason that Americans no longer want those jobs. Americans don't want to compete with unskilled workers who will work for peanuts. Americans were pushed out of those jobs by illegal immigration.
It really doesn't matter at this point. A good percentage illegal immigrants are unemployed now. Some of the illegal immigrants who have been here for better than 15 years are out on the streets begging for jobs. That is what happens when you leave immigration unchecked. More people come flooding in than what we have jobs for.
Now the Dems want to make all of these unemployed illegal immigrants citizens, and thus eligible to apply for the unskilled Walmart/McJobs that are sustaining America's poor right now.

...And that my friends will put the final nail in the American poor people's coffins.
