Janitorial jobs that would pay up to $15 an hour in Southern California are now being done for $5 an hour by illegals who live 10 to 15 people per dwelling.(Not to distract from his point, but I wouldn't be surprised to learn that many of the people who post messages in favor of illegal immigration are not in fact simply misguided "liberals," but people who have a financial stake in the matter and are using misguided "liberalism" to help keep the money flowing.)
It is not that Americans will not do "shit jobs"; it is that they are not willing to live like sardines. $5 an hour in SoCal is not anywhere near a living wage.
I cannot believe someone on a Democratic site would encourage the depression of wages to such levels that living 15 to a house is the only way to survive.
One definition of a Third World country is where there is an extreme concentration of wealth at the top combined with a deliberate policy to destroy the possibility of a large and growing middle class. We're already there. America is Brazil North.

I as America's most Liberal liberal say this; If you crack down too hard on illegals you will more unpicked crops & more hungry 'tummies'.
