Both of my parents are retired and I have two kids in elementary school.
There's 4 Americans that aren't working that won't be affected by this.
I don't think my job as an accountant nor my wife's job as a teacher is threatened by new immigrants.
So I'm OK with this.
When we lived in the suburbs of Atlanta; we realized that most grass would not be mowed, if it wasn't done by a Hispanic.

I love people like you. So out of a population of 317 million, 90 million are able-bodied workers who aren't working. Looking at the demographics, about 13% (41 million) of the population is over 65. Another 26% (around 80 million) are 19 or under. Meaning that of the potential 196 million people ages 20-64 who could be working, 90 million are not. Yeah, 45% unemployment. Whatever, buddy.
Children have to work from the age of 4 and old people die at 60 in other, more civilized countries like China and Indonesia. No wonder Americans are so fat and unhealthy. No wonder they call it the entitlement generation.

1000 curses on the progressives you wish to destroy this nation due to some twisted, drug-addled guilt in their damaged psyches.
I always read stuff like this in a gruff olden-tymes 1880s voice. Immigrants and Irish out!!

Many of the other 9 million can't find the jobs in their chosen career path, but that doesn't mean that they would be well suited or be willing to work in the jobs that people from other countries would.
And what you're going to say is that people would be willing to work as farm hand and the like if immigrants didn't depress the wages for native born Americans. But why should native born Americans be entitled to an inflated salary while foreigners live in poverty?
100% False. Fail. You're a bloomin' idiot. That is all..
