I don't know about that. It seems just about anywhere immigrants can carve out a nice living doing jobs American's don't want to do.

So you can make enough money to buy Benz's and brand new trucks by working jobs that American's don't want to do. Get real those statements don't make any sense at all.
By the way Americans did those jobs before the illegals come in and started doing the jobs for less than minimum wage. It's not that Americans will not do the jobs they just don't want to be cheated.
