Illegals generally do only the grunt work in construction, the ditch-digging stuff. SKilled labor is still dominated by legal workers. And what about semi skilled and unskilled Americans? They are locked out of these jobs because the jobs only pay minimum wage which is fine for illegals because they live 10 to a one bedroom apt and sleep in shifts. Paying minimum wage allows the builders a bigger profit. Do you think that's fair? Jobs like slaughter-houses is exactly what illegals do besides farm work. And it's awful-awful work, just sickening. I say let them keep doing it. Who else wants to? Many more are working in other industries besides farming and slaughtering......and again, only illegals will work for minimum wage in the slaughter houses.
