I.e., there's a glut of computer engineers due to the last fraudulent packing of immigrant engineers by big corporations, driving down wages for everyone. The same is true for laborers I've hired for property development. It's a boon for short-sighted selfish corporate executives, at the expense of the American labor force, to flood the market from low-cost labor from around the world. It's time to drop the convenient corporate lie that Americans won't take work. Any job you name will find legal workers to take it. Just maybe not at slave wages. Wal-Mart's an example - they've recently been indicted for hundreds of illegal immigrant laborers, while importing goods from virtual slaves in China, creating cheap products that kill the American way of life. Those products aren't so cheap when damage to the economy is taken into account.

People say they do work American won't do but it's just flat not true. The Ag folks in CA and other places say "Americans won't work doing 'stoop labor'... well, maybe, but if one is on welfare and wanted the check and that was the only way to get it, bet they would. Problem is that workmans comp and benefits and taxes make it hard to keep prices down.. However, I think most of us will be willing to pay additional monies, for some peace of mind that we know who is coming our borders and where they are.
