response to 9/30 readings

These readings are very sympathetic to illegal immigrants. One of the main points supporting this illegal immigration is that we need these workers to do jobs that we, as Americans, are unwilling to do. But as our unemployment rates rise, will this continue to be true? Also, why is the unemployment rate among illegal aliens historically higher than that of natural born American citizens if these immigrants are filling such a large void in our economy? This argument about these immigrants doing these dirty jobs just doesn't hold water. They do these jobs for lower wages than many Americans would, but I think someone would do them.

These articles also conveniently forget to mention the ridiculously high crime rate among these illegal immigrant populations.
