Just for an example of how clueless our politicians are, read this. I'm tired of hearing people say that illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans won't do. That's BS. If history teaches us anything, it's that Americans, more than any other group on Earth, will do whatever they need to do to make money. McCain even said that Americans won't pick lettuce for $50/hour. That's complete bullshit!!!! $50/hour translates to $100k/year. I'd do it in an instant. Does he really some think some teenager who can barely pass high school, flips burgers at McDonald's for minimum wage, and who's girlfriend is pregnant is really going to say "Hell no, I won't pick lettuce for you!"

Look, this is pretty simple logic. If illegal aliens weren't available to do jobs like this, employers would have to raise wages in increments until they were paying enough to get Americans to do it, and then they will flock. The beauty and logic of a free market economy is that people go where the money is, and the money goes where the chance to make more is. If there's a niche to be filled, it WILL be filled, and to deny that is to deny our country's history.
