Do Mexicans really take jobs away from Americans?

first let me ask you, do you really want the jobs that the mexicans are doing,like working in a chicken processing faculity? will you work all day in the hot sun on construction, digging ditches etc,?I guarentee the ans to those questions are a resounding no,
so lets see if we can locate the real problem, could it be that under N,A,F,T,A, our factories have moved to other countries to escape the ridiculious union demands? where a man earning $16 per hour can come in drunk or doped up or just plain won't do his job , yet the company can't fire him , I heard a man say one day that they paid him $26 per hour to show up if they wanted him to work they would haft to pay hm more?????what about these companys who out source jobs to other countries , I am talking about good paying jobs , that Americans would do, no one seems to mind this why?if the American co, who have left the U,S, in the last 5 years were still here every one would have a job including the mexicans legal or illegal,

what a good question! Too much info so I dont want to read it all,
I havent heard this one yet.

i dont think so...its the trend of the world (employing foreign talent) that take away the jobs..
you have a good point.

However, consider the benefits of outsourcing. When we send 50,000 jobs overseas, we pay those 50,000 employees a fraction of the amount we would pay an average american.

Dont compare apples to oranges though, paying an indian man the equivalent of lower-than-minimum wage is not bad at all. They are actually making a good living off that money. The cost of living is much lower there.

The money saved by outsourcing, ultimately lands in the consumer's hands. With lower costs, competition forces companies to lower the price of thier products. therefore, we save money. Unemployment has hovered at a reliable rate for a long time now, not increasing, or decreasing much.

I hear people complaining about not having a job all the time these days. A) they have a felony, thus they screwed themselves. B) they wont take a job they consider "below themselves" such as McDonalds. C) they arent looking hard enough because they just dont want a job in the first place.

Some people, in some areas of the country have it hard. There really might not be any jobs for them. But certainly this is not as a result of outsourcing.
Umm, .. who do you think was doing those jobs BEFORE the mexicans??
also... If they were not ilegal then they would not accept that pay wage and the employers would maybe be forced to hire people legally and at least pay minimum wage..Just a thought
...Let me add this.. I do not have any thing personal against mexican people, I do think that they should be here legally though ....
So maybe we should all imigrate to mexico and other countries where our factories are being sent.It makes no sense to me.People immigrate here from foreign countries for better jobs.Yet all our textiles are being sent to other countries for cheaper job production.If I was a foreigner,I would rather stay in my own country.Probably find a better chance for a job there.
