I certainly wish "There are no jobs Americans won't do," was true. The question is how well will they do those jobs? Many of our offspring have an incredible sense of entitlement. I still contend that a man/woman unwilling
to give you an honest days labor at a lower wage scale will not work any better at a higher wage. It's about work ethic and many Americans need a healthy dose. I am not painting all Americans with this brush. Many of us have worked exceptionally hard and have sacrificed to live the American dream. Many are still doing so. I just don't buy into the argument that
all Americans are hardworking. I do know many Americans will not be willing to pay the price of goods if we get rid of all the alien laborers.

So, it would seem a reasonable "stimulus" would be to remove/isolate illegal aliens from the workplace, and those jobs now being done by illegals would be available to US workers. Employers would have to pay competitive wages for the US workers, and the money would cycle within the US economy instead of a significant percentage leaving the US via foreign remittance.
There are no jobs Americans won't do, but the wage needs to be commensurate to the labor.
Continued condoning of illegal alien labor in any form is tantamount to condoning economic slavery.
Let's be clear - much of the world is dependent on US consumerism. Until we build our economy back, we can't assist the rest of the world in their economic recovery. So, let's stop encouraging illegal alien labor use, as it keeps Americans out of work and exploits peoples who further seek public assistance to remain and survive in the US.
Rep. Pelosi wants the US to borrow $900Billion to help employ a large percentage of the 11 million unemployed American workers AND keep the illegal alien population "employed" in slave-wage conditions as well AND fund a slew of feel-good special-interest programs.
That's a good deal ? ?
