[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 867775, member: 12570"] Nice thought but Americans wouldn't do the majority of jobs that illegals do. They would much rather sit at home and collect unemployment. I will give you an example close to where I live. We have a lot of apple orchards. Apple trees require a lot of care and someone has to harvest the crop. You would think that hiring locals would be a good fit but it turns out that we don't have the patience nor care to properly prune and pick the apples so they have to bring in workers from Jamaica. They fly them in, house them, feed them and pay them; in turn, the Jamaicans send back about 80% of what they make (the remaining 20% goes to the NYS Lottery--Jamaicans love to play the lottery).
