You put enough money on the job, any job, and Americans will line up to do it.

What they should really say isn't that Americans won't do it, they should say "that Americans won't do it for the price that's being offered".

You offer somebody 50K to haul garbage or dig ditches all day, and more impotantly cut off welfare, you'd be shocked by how willing Americans are to do these jobs. Importing Latins to do these jobs simply holds the cost of labor artificially low, end of story.
Amen brother. 'Jobs that Americans wont do' is offensive to me. As you say, the reason Americans arent taking the jobs is because of pay. Now, when you have illegal aliens doing the job for pennies on the dollar you create another problem- they can't afford their own services, such as healthcare. So what you really have, is companies who employ illegals getting what amounts to tax subsidies. They're paying sub-minimal wages to their workers and then shovelling Social Security, Medicaid, ect costs onto legitimate employers and tax payers.
