“Its the big lie of the immigration debate: Namely, that Americans would eagerly and gladly do the jobs being done by illegal immigrants if only wages were higher.
It started out as a rebuttal to President Bushs insistence that illegal immigrants “do jobs that Americans wont do.” Anti-illegal immigrant crusaders responded that these are actually “jobs that Americans wont do . . . for the wages offered.”
There are actually people out there who like to believe that theres some magical hourly or daily wage that an employer could offer at which a slew of Americans would leave their desk jobs and line up for a chance to do some of the hardest, dirtiest and crummiest jobs our society has to offer. In many cases, there is no such wage.”
