I'm not saying all americans will work any job, or that no americans will work a specific job. I am simply saying that some Americans refuse to work in some jobs.

I think the main fear here is the fear to compete in the job market with Mexicans.

What you just presented was what I was observing. The fear of competition against Mexican workers. We probably can't compete with the lifestyles we wish to have. However, whoever said that we should have a certain lifestyle? Perhaps we should learn a skilled trade in order to support a better lifestyle. It's just an idea.

In the state of the union address, Bush talked about a guest worker program for Mexicans to take jobs that Americans dont want to do. Therefore as much as you'd like to blame your government, this is probably your own collective fault.

This was addressed in a previous post. These jobs re jobs that Americans need. It doesnt matter if we want to do them or not. unemployment is rampant amoung the legal citizens. Why are we putting other nations citizens to work when we have LEGAL citizens here who cant find work and would willingly work those jobs. Even if they didnt like them.

I dont think it is fear of quality labour as you seem to be alluding to. It is the fact that illegal Aliens work for cash, and do it for much less than what an over the table job would pay.
